The site is a lead generation site for car, van and minibus leasing leads and also drive traffic for car and van insurance advertisers.

History
The site went live in September 2005 and over 100 pages, ranked page 1 of Google for many relevateed search terms.

Traffic
All organic at (average) 9,500 views per month and (average) 2,100 uniques a month.

Reason For Sale
I own Mang Creative, the UK's leading web design agency and we simpy dont have the time to dedicate to any other proejcts currently. Furthermore l have just started an online print business which is taking up most of my time.

Growth
The car make and models have not been updated on the site for over a year which we know has had an affect. Our suppliers want more leads but currently we are not advertising the site and havent been for 13 - 14 months - for example 1 supplier requires 8 leads a day and we only send 2 / 3.

Contracts
Each supplier we have a signed contract with. All contracts can be transferred to the new owner. The contracts are long standing and our main supplier has been with us for 38 months !

Revenue
Revenue is generated from each lead. Customers visit the site, we take their details and sell the lead onto 4 suppliers (upto maybe less). The lead price is £6.00 + VAT so each lead has a value of £24.00. This is the same for car and van leasing. At its height we were invoicing suppliers + £3,000 per month now its down to £1,100 - £1,200.

The car and van insurance revenue works on a yearly fee of £395.00 + VAT per advertorial. Furthermore we have links via Text Link Ads on the footer that generate circa $32.00 a month.

Serious enquiries only. The site makes money on a monthly basis so l am not going to sell it for a low price l would rather keep it and just pocket the £1,100 a month
 
Hi

You mention what you invoice out. What are your advertising costs. Or simple answer, what is the profit out of the 1100 stated?

Thanks
