URL:
http://www.completerecipes.com/
Age of site (months): 15
Monthly revenue: 0
Revenue details: Never have put ads on the site.
Monthly page views: 270,000
Traffic details:
Traffic comes from search engines, referrals, and even stumbleupon (which we have never submitted to). Awstats, while rather inaccurate with this stat, does guesstimate 17% have added as bookmarks. Listed in quite a few Wikipedia entries (for over a year).
Description:
A recipe website with search. Created in December 2004 for a client who was getting out of his previous business and wanted to give database content a go. Never put ads on it, and now he is just liquiding these assets.
Price (or starting bid): 2000
Is an auction?: Yes
Indexed pages (Google): 70,000
Indexed pages (Yahoo): 135,000
Google page rank: 4
Also wanted to add that hosting is free provided the footer link stays. Furthermore, the site itself is static HTML - you basically run a generator which reads from the template, inserts the data from the db, and then creates a static page. Requires more disk space but keeps SQL access to almost nil.
The site has not been edited since it was put online.
The SE bots are also very active. This month Inktomi (Yahoo!) has hit it 268,000 times, Ask has hit it 102,000 times, and Google has hit it 102,000 times. robots.txt has been requred 8,849 times this month. Search engine referrals this month is roughly ~20k.
As of today, search engine referrals: 11,663 different keyphrases were used, and the most popular keyword involved was 'recipes' (a total of 5171 times). The most popular page visited is the index, and the second most popular is the search page.
Please note that the search is broken right now - nothing we have done wrong, but the database seems to be down. Will update when the db issue is fixed.
