Listing Details
This listing is for an Adsense and advertising business created in November 2011 in the technology niche. The WordPress site features news regarding a popular mobile phone brand. This site is considered an authority on the subject with recognition from Wikipedia, Reddit, XDA, Microsoft, and more. The business enjoys strong traffic, an active forum, over 30K subscribers on their popular Youtube channel, and requires minimal work to maintain.
The business has a proprietary firmware search that allows users to search for and download any updates for their phone. This tool is the primary reason for the constant growth of the business’s backlink portfolio. Users enjoy sharing with others on forums, blogs, videos, etc. The business also sells a custom-built mobile app with over 10 million all-time installs. At one point the app alone was bringing in over $10K per month, but now brings in very little revenue, due to lack of attention. This is a potential opportunity for the Buyer to rehabilitate.
The business mostly gets organic traffic from Google, direct traffic from repeat users, and referral traffic. There are over 33K Facebook followers and over 1K Twitter followers. The business employs a writer, a video producer, and a developer. Since owning the business, the Seller has focused on arranging sponsorship deals and managing outsourced content. The Seller is willing to do whatever is necessary to make the new owner feel comfortable and get acquainted with the business.
*A few years ago the business rebranded and updated their domain name. The previous domain now redirects to the current one.
*Beginning in October 2018 the Seller will no longer have to pay for hosting thanks to promoting the hosting company on the site.
*The business earns a small revenue from Amazon Associates which has been included in the valuation.

Opportunities
- Content - Currently, there is only one active writer who contributes three posts per week. With this caliber of a site, producing 5-10 posts a day would keep up with any competition.
- SEO - 99% of the growth has been organic. Given the high domain authority and impressive backlink portfolio, investing in strategic SEO and social media marketing (optimizing posts, off-page SEO, etc) could be an opportunity for growth.
- Building a mailing list - With millions of page views, a mailing list would be a great way to leverage the existing audience, boost returning visitors rate, and grow traffic and revenue.
- Improve the mobile app and its retention rate - With over 10 million all-time installs and thousands of new daily installs, the app could be one of the most profitable and valuable assets.
- Collaborate with big brands - The business has a healthy relationship established with some of the biggest tech giants in the world. Leveraging these relationships for exposure and sponsorships could mean growth in traffic and revenue.
- YouTube - The Seller hasn't done much to promote and grow the YouTube channel.
- Forum - This has been neglected for a long time. Bringing in volunteer moderators, boosting engagement, and capitalize on user-generated content, are opportunities for the Buyer to pursue.
Work & Skills Required
- The Seller currently spends around 1-2 hours per week:
- Arranging sponsorship deals
- Paying workers
Seller Support Includes
The Seller is willing to provide whatever support is necessary for the Buyer to feel comfortable. This would include at minimum 30 days of Skype and email support.
Reason for Sale
The Seller has lost their passion for this niche.
