Sheet Music Web
http://sheetmusicweb.com
PR4 - 170 + partners in the Links Directory
Average uniques per day: 246

I built this site about 4 years ago, I think. I was quite amazed at the amount of free sheet music available online, and this was one of the earlier sites to try to catalog it all. Because of the way I built the site, the search engines have always liked it. Here's a sampling of some of the rankings for keyphrases that have brought people to the site in the last 24 hours:

YAHOO
"free guitar sheet music" #5
"free guitar tab music" #2
"free sheet music for the guitar"#3
"free easy guitar sheet music"#4

MSN
"sound of music sheet music" #2
"free guitar tab music" #1
"free sheet music" #5
"music for guitar" #8
"free guitar tabs pdf" #13
"sheet music" #16 (!!)
"free guitar music" #17

Traffic averages around 250+ uniques a day...so that's not a really big problem. It could be increased, I'm sure, by acquiring additional inbound links (although 170 link partners is a great place to start). I have never done any real keyword research. So some optimization is probably in order.

OK...the big question: How much does it make?
March 273.34
April 294.66
May to date 78.77

And there's one additional bonus: In addition to Adsense income, you'll notice banners for sheet music and books from SheetMusicPlus.com .These are straight up affiliate arrangments. They have a bunch of different kinds of links available on their sites if you want to experiment. They dovetail nicely with the site content...and I've made anywhere from $20-$150 a month on top of the Adsense income. Average commission is less than a dollar per sale...but I had one that brought me over 50 bucks in commission (yes...a single sale!).

So...for those of you who'd like some decent advertising space for your other sites/products, and for whom 250 unique visitors (oh, and an average of 800 plus pageviews per day, by the way) would be very helpful...this might be a good opportunity. Or, for those of you who haven't made any money, and just want to get something going...to get that first Google check, etc...well, there's no such thing as a "sure thing"...but this site is a very steady performer...and one that could be improved with a little work.

Why am I selling it? Primarily, I am narrowing my focus of site-building to ones where I feel I have something unique to offer. I have dropped from about 50 sites to under 30 within the last month. I enjoyed building this site, and making money from it. But it's no longer something I'm willing to invest my time in. And not only is it worth money to me for selling...but I'd like to put it in the hands of someone who's willing to invest the time to freshen the content and grow it.

OK...how much?
