    1. Your name? Christine
    2. URL(s) of site? http://www.sweepstakes.bz
    3. Age of site? 3-4 months
    4. Approximate monthly page views and/or unique visitor?
    45,000 page views / 11,000 uniques - this will grow as you get more search engine listings
    5. How does site generate income? How much?
    It doesn't generate income yet. I have been giving away the sweepstakes sponsorships until the site grows. These spots would go for $500 for a standard sweepstakes, more for a custom sweepstakes. You can also make money on banner ads and newsletter sponsorships.
    6. Who develops content and administers the site and how much time does it require?
    I do. Everything is templated and easy to generate. It is time consuming to write articles, although you could find people to write for you in exchange for links. It is also time consuming to find and add sweepstakes to the database; although I do have a form to allow users to add sweepstakes and this should be utilized more an more as the user base grows.
    7. What industry/audience does your site serve?
    sweepers and website promoters
    8. Is knowledge required of the industry served by your site?
    Marketing/advertising/promotion knowledge would be helpful.
    9. Reason for selling?
    I have full time job and 3 kids and cannot devote the amount of time necessary to make this a great site.
    10. Will you help with the transition of the site to the new owner? yes
    11. Does the site have an e-zine or newsletter? Number of subscribers?
    Yes, it has over 3500 and is growing exponentially. It has an automatic opt-out feature.
    12. Asking price for the site? All reasonable offers will be considered.

    Hi B.J.,

    You can email me at editor@sweepstakes.bz. I have 6-months left on a year long hosting contract with ReadyHosting.com. The remaining time is included.

    I am asking $4995 for the site. The database is over 8,000 optins now and is receiving over 70,000 page views per month. There are top search engine listings in most of the major search engines. Here is a sample WebPosition Gold report: http://www.sweepstakes.bz/keywordanalysis.asp

    I look forward to hearing from you.

    I don't know why that came up as "95" as an asking price. I am asking 4,995. Maybe it doesn't like the dollar sign.

    Just an update - starting to make a little money from affiliate programs - a couple bucks a day, not a bad start. Also, have lowered my asking price to 3500.

    Traffic from bookmarks is averaging 200-250 per day, search engine traffic is averaging about 115 per day, and traffic from other sweepstakes sites is averaging about 100 per day. 55% of my traffic this month was from new visitors and 45% was from returning visitors. 20% have visited more than 10 times - 10% have visited more than 25 times.
