_co_uk Kefalonia - generic, one word, 10 years old

[khalid]

I'm putting Kefalonia/co/uk up here as I am considering selling this site.

I purchased it a few months ago where it was near the bottom of the front page of Google, not monetised or optimised.

Since then I completely re-did the site, added unique content to over 50 pages and a gallery filled with related photographs.

The site was successfully added to DMOZ and its position on the front page of Google has risen after a little backlink building.

Daily earnings from Adsense vary at around $5 and I have one advertiser who paid £600 for a yearly banner spot. Breaking this down, monthly earnings are around £150 - £200.

Last month the site hit 1870 unique visitors, averaging 77 visits per day. This month it has risen to 123.

Vital points

- One word, generic, with 33,100 average exact searches per month
- Domain registered on 3rd November 1999 - Nearly 10 years old!
- DMOZ listed
- Front page of Google
- Strong monthly earnings
- Increasing website visitors

Comparisons

- kos.co.uk, domain only, sold for £15,000
- capeverde.co.uk, domain only, sold for £7,621
- samos.co.uk, domain only, is for sale at £15,000

Bids/Offers

- Offers welcomed in mid to high x,xxx range via thread reply or PM
- BIN £10,000
- Payment can either be via escrow, bank transfer or Paypal (if you want to pay the fees to receive the cash)
- If not buyer is found I'm happy to keep the domain, there's no rush for me to sell.
- Screenshots are available upon request to bidders

Finally, I would request the car hire banner be kept on the site until January 2010 or I can return the remainder of the private advert payment to the advertiser. If you want to go with the latter then please mention this in your bid.

Thanks for reading!
