Listing Details

This listing is for a 2-site affiliate and info products business package created in November 2011 in the finance niche.

The business has long established forums for course members, and thanks to an email auto-responder, minimal work is required from the Seller.

The US is the leading source of traffic at 14.24%, followed by South Africa at 10.80%, and the UK at 8.07%. Traffic is generated mainly from organic search (57.55%), followed by direct (30.92%) and social (6.21%). The top three pages account for 8.26%, 5.01%, and 3.93% of the site's overall traffic.
