I am selling a number of our small sites because I don't have time for them since I am focusing on our larger projects. These sites could all generate more revenue if they got any attention whatsoever. Since my first site sold in about an hour here, I'm listing one of our other smaller sites, RemoteControlRC.com, next.

URL: http://www.remotecontrolrc.com

Age of site (months): 4

Monthly revenue: $54

$54 per month average ($40 to $70 range) from AdSense

Revenue confirmation available through PM.

Google PageRank: Still unranked

Monthly traffic: 1368 to 2104 unique visitors

Unique Visitors:
Feb 2005 1506
Mar 2005 1368
Apr 2005 2104
May 2005 1559 (run rate of 2000+)

Page Views:
Feb 2005 9522
Mar 2005 9151
Apr 2005 11814
May 2005 9203 (run rate of 11887)

Traffic details:
Number 7 on Yahoo for "universal remote control codes"

Number 6, 7 and 8 respectively on Yahoo for "rc truck bodies," and "rc nitrous," and "rc boat engines."

Others as well.

Most traffic comes from bookmarks and direct links, Yahoo and MSN.

I don't know why Google hasn't ranked the site -- our sites usually do very well with Google. Perhaps it is too soon -- not sure.

This site has never been indexed by Google. All of the revenue and traffic has come from places besides Google, and there has been no change (other than somewhat for the better). I recommend if you want it only for Google, then you pass. However, it's a nice little site with consistent revenue that can easily grow.

We did a linking campaign last month which has led to quite a few links (Yahoo says 507 and MSN says 36). The effects of these links probably won't show up in terms of SE rankings for another couple of months though.

Description:
This site has a good URL, 50+ pages of original content, is well optimized for the search engines, and requires no work.

Revenue can easily be increased -- for example, we don't even sell any remote control cars, planes, or other rc products on the site! (We did just add three site-wide Amazon links at the bottom of each page of the site so you could see how easy it would be.) You could quickly add affiliate links, Amazon links, and sell advertising to increase revenue. I just don't have the time.

You will get:
- the domain (transferred on GoDaddy or WildWestDomains)
- exclusive rights to all content on the site

The final bidder will pay through Paypal where I'm verified.

Content:
50+ pages of 100% original content.

Costs:
None other than domain name renewal and hosting, which are very inexpensive. (You will need to host elsewhere.)

I have done no advertising for the site. All traffic has been free via search engines and links.

Starting Price: $300 ($275 bid on another site since I had to wait 24 hours to list here)

Is an auction? Yes

Buy It Now (BIN) Price: $675

Auction ends: I believe this is priced for fairly quick sale. The auction ends Thursday June 2nd 9pm EST or at an earlier time if I end the auction.

This is also being listed at another forum.

I don't know how you can possibly know this, and I don't believe it's true. I just looked at the referrer logs, and Google sent us a small amount of traffic. I can't imagine that would happen if the site were banned.

There are lots of reasons that a site can not be indexed for 4 months.

There is nothing we did with this site that we haven't done for many of our PR6 and PR5 sites. Nonetheless, I did say that I recommend if you want this site only for Google, then you should pass. However, it's a nice little site with consistent revenue that can easily grow.

As for stats, I'm happy to provide stats with proof of revenue and traffic via PM to anyone who is seriously interested. You can either ask on this thread or via PM. Thanks.

It's possible since the site is so young that it's still in the Google probationary sandbox, so once it pops out the other side it'll be worth much more.

$375
