Financial Typo making $12.5 revenue/day

**mikesherov** · 05-20-2005, 01:44 PM

Hello all,

I need money since I've just moved in with my girlfriend! I am putting up my most prized domain for sale. Here are the details:

DETAILS:

THE DOMAIN NAME IS IN THE SCREENSHOTS
Typo of a major US bank.
Bank is in a major growth phase and the traffic has increased for 60/day to around 90/day in the past two weeks alone.
Since changing keywords recently, the name makes $.80/click with around 15% CTR.
link to revenue stats: http://img24.echo.cx/img24/8046/sunstrust3hs.jpg
When purchased, you will also receive the sedo keyword that made this name go from $2/day to $12.5/day

PRICING:

I am seeking minimum 2 years revenue for this.
OFFERS start at: $9097
BIN: $12.5K
We will split the escrow fee, whatever it may be.

NOT ALLOWED:

Please do not post that this name is a TM name and therefore I am crazy for asking more than 2 years revenue. My pricing strategy is mine. You can price however you want. This name is in a growth phase and therefore the two years revenue will seem like pennies compared to what it's making in a year from now... just ask the guys who I offered this name to when it was making $2/day and again at $8/day.
Please don't waste your time offering less than 2 years revenue.
Please do not trash this thread. I am a reputable seller and will handle all questions accordingly via PM, and will post a relevant FAQ if one so develops.

HOW TO OFFER:

Send me a PM or post your offer here. I will then keep this post updated with the current highest offer until I am satisfied with a price, or it reaches the BIN.
If someone outoffers you, and I am thinking of selling, I will contact you letting you know what I'm letting it go for, it is then up to you to outoffer the outofferer (phew*)

Good day to all, and happy bidding.

CURRENT HIGH OFFER: NONE

I understand how revenue may increase with new keywords - but how did it increase 15 fold? Any other details behind the sharp increase?

Two factors leading to the revenue increase:

"Bank is in a major growth phase and the traffic has increased for 60/day to around 90/day in the past two weeks alone."

"When purchased, you will also receive the sedo keyword that made this name go from $2/day to $12.5/day"

Basically, the name was making $2/day till I found the right keyword. This happened to coincide with the day this bank acquired another bank. Because of the merger, I knew it was going to get more traffic, so I messed with the keyword, and I just so happened to find the right one. Since then:

The first week, it averaged $8/day.
The second week, it averaged $10.5/day.
The third week, it is averaging $12.5/day.
It looks by next weekend, it will be average $14/day.

Once again, when a bank acquires another bank, the traffic will increase sharply. The switchover still has a few more weeks, and should stabilize soon. When it does, I will list once again for two years revenue.
