_co_uk noclaimsbonus.co.uk - 2000+ visitors a month

[instaunt]

www.noclaimsbonus.co.uk - major term for the industry. (if not THE term everyone wants to know about for the discount).

Looking for £1900 ono. Site gets 2000+ visitors a month. I earn £300-£400 a month from that, but obviously you'll need your own advertising methods as I can't give you my Adsense, Media.net or affiliate accounts.

Site use to get 10,000+ visitors a month and earn £1500+, but I don't work on my websites anymore. I'm in the much, much, much more fun job of creating kids books, apps and animations. (Just got published!)

Thanks
Mike

Can you provide info on where the traffic is coming from?

 

[andydw]

pm sent. Can you email me?

 

[instaunt]

Both messages sent.

Please note, I've received 4 offers now. I will be accepting the highest by close of business Monday unless there are any other higher/better offers. I'm looking for a quick sale of everything and I have 200+ domains/websites left to go.

I want to get back to my books/animations!

 

[andydw]

Haven't received an email or pm - can you check again?
Also, have a you a link to your other domains?

 

[Tricky1]

Can you also let me know where the traffic is coming from, thanks

I believe this has sold now. I've accepted an offer.

Really amazed that no-one offered the £1900. I honestly thought the domain itself was worth that. Let alone adding traffic and revenue into the mix. I mean, it's "no claims bonus"?!?! There's no other term in the industry other than insurance.co.uk that is as recognisable.

I would have paid the full but haven´t bought many sites so unless I can get all the info I need (source of traffic - keywords, external links, breakdown of income and income over past 6 or 12 months) then I just don´t take the chance - too worried about buying a dog or something with a penalty applied.

With this one I couldn't figure out where traffic was coming from as keyword tool doesn't show a great amount of search volume for no claims bonus and then looking at your site I couldn't figure out how it was making money (affliate links etc) so just couldn't make a decision.

Not insinuating anything of course but "when in doubt - do nowt" is the rule I apply.
If you had been able to provide the info (even if it took you a couple of hours) you might have mad an extra £400! Congrats on the sale anyways!

If you have other sites with income then I am usually on the lookout for some.

I think there was a lot of insinuation in there. Most curiously about the fact I refused to spend "a couple of hours" to make a few hundred more pound? For all I knew, a "couple of hours" is what I could have spent just answering your questions. Everyone had dozens of different questions. Minute detail over a £1900 domain name, as if I were asking for ten times that!

If people want me to cradle them from purchase to making their own revenue, then I'm not going to do that for £1900. The domain name noclaimsbonus.co.uk is good. The fact some people expect to be able to buy a domain they can make their money back from within 30 days is the incredulous thing here.

(Not insinuating anything about you of course. Just a generalisation about some of the emails/pms I have received over the past few days.)

Seriously, some of them were practically phrased like this - "Do you have any domains that I can buy for $100 that will earn $1000 in the first month?"

 

[andydw]

There was none from me - I have a checklist and if I cant get the info I need I pass up the opportunity regardless of income multiples, it´s as simple as that.

My main site makes 95% of my income and has quadrupled over the past 2 years but it has become a full time job ( a well paying full time job but full time nonetheless.)

I am looking at sites that have income at reasonable multiples and which I could improve and then outsource the upkeep (new posts, updates etc) so as to diversify away from being in one niche.

Just on a note though it does throw warning flags when someone offers to sell a domain for 4-5 months revenue. This either hints that the traffic will die or is fake. Not saying that's the case here but if I have a domain earning xxx per month no way would it be up for sale for less than at least 24 times that if the traffic was constant. Anyway congrats on the sale.

I've spent the last 1-2 years selling off the 2000+ domains and 100+ websites I have built up over the past 14 years. When someone approaches me looking to buy a site, yes, I generally get 12-24 months revenue and even more sometimes.

When you are actively selling and seeking a buyer, I have NEVER got more than six months revenue. People PMing me about various websites on Acorn state right up front "I don't pay more than 5-6 months revenue". If I'd asked for £4800, would anyone have offered that? Even with iron-clad proof of earnings? Not a chance. Remember, I'm not flipping. This isn't my business any more. I'm selling off. I'm being realistic, and my price is realistic for the forum I'm selling in.

Generally (not talking about this specific sale) if someone is selling something for 4 months revenue then I can only see a few realistic ways that happens - they're about to be evicted and desperate for the cash flow, the site is a straight up scam and the numbers aren't legit, or the numbers are technically legit but the seller knows the whole thing is about collapse. ie like one seller here recently with his undisclosed 301's and loss of redirecting domain.


Though with this specific sale you'd have been mental to disclose all of the info andydw is asking for (either to him or anyone else). Your backlink profile is extremely poor and good be replicated for £50-100 I reckon. The site itself is poor and could be cloned for about the same again.

So once you have all the info you don't even need to buy - you know all the backlink sources and you know all the converting keywords... just build it yourself :lol:

It seems its an Acorn hobby to lie about sales whether someone is the buyer or the seller... so both sides need to think carefully before they disclose anything at all

Calling people liars seems to be the biggest Acorn hobby.

You should start a new thread on this topic? write a more detailed overview of what to look for/what to avoid when buying a sites based on revenue.

That would be a positive and easily digestible way to get your point across, whereas commenting on here might be dismissed as just you being you

Sounds like a lot of work to me :lol:

It'd take at least a couple of hours to do properly, so why bother?

The Acorn member who done a 5 figure scam on Flippa recently... I suppose I could have stopped that one but didn't bother. If his 'customer' is too stupid to do some due diligence on a sale of that size then he's only going to lose his money elsewhere anyway.

If I had an seo/webmaster/domaining blog then potentially its worth it for the links and so on... but I'm not going to waste hours for no benefit. I just took this pic a minute ago:

I'd rather just sit here and do absolutely nothing rather than write that post :lol:

Is that the communal jacket? :ds

 

[Jamie101]

Suppose this is still sold is it?

Might be interested in other sites you're selling if you want to PM me.

Is that Torquay?

Come now monkey old chap, you've got time to write 5 attack pieces a day on Acorn, I'm sure you could find a few minutes to give us all the benefit of your ancient wisdom

Surely revealing a 5 figure flippa scam is more important than attacking a sales thread by a guy with an EMD with small but solid revenue (so he can make kid's educational cartoons - think of the children!)

I'm not sure why people would be searching or typing 'no claims bonus' - presumably for information about it, because they want to see what difference it makes, how to protect it etc. Obviously enough of them are looking to buy insurance in the near future to give the traffic some value, but it's certainly not a ' money' term.

I think 5 months revenue is fair on this kind of site, there is a high risk that it could drop at any time, balanced with a good return if it lasts a year.

It's still #1 in Bing/Yahoo for the term, not that Bing traffic is worth much...

However, the prospects for scale are limited - I'm not sure what you could do with the domain beyond a basic, fairly 'thin' information site. No claims bonuses are pretty much the same everywhere so it's not really a feature used to sell policies...

For someone with time on their hands it could well be worth rebuilding it and working on some quality content, if only to improve the value of the current traffic.
