Win an already profitable niche site!

Posted by stuart as Uncategorized

Well it’s time for another giveaway, and this one’s a doozie!

I’m giving one lucky linker the opportunity to win a profitable niche site, absolutely free.

Simply link to the site (I’ll get to the URL in a minute…), and you’ll be in the draw.

“So what’s the site about Stu?” I hear you ask…

Well, after spending a couple of hours searching for niches with good search numbers and competition I thought we could beat with good SEO and a good amount of quality backlinks, I’ve come back to a niche which I’ve actually been reasonably successful with myself by chasing long tail keywords. But we’re not going after the long tail here, we’re shooting right between the eyes at a couple of big numbers keywords, and a few related brand specific key-phrases. (You can see the numbers on the website itself.)

The Niche is Pasta Makers and Pasta Machines.  These vary in price on Amazon for between $40 and quite a few hundred dollars, with the average sale I’m making through Amazon being around the $150 mark ($9 commission per sale) . There’s also good ad inventory with AdSense, paying in the range of $0.40 to $0.80 per click if that’s the direction the winner decides to take the site.

So on to how you enter. If you go to the site (My Pasta Maker), you’ll see the options for anchor text. You must use one of the anchor text options provided, or your entry will be regarded as invalid. You must also not nofollow your link.

Once you have added the link to your site, please click through it to the site. By doing this, your site will be registered on my referrer list.

Now on to how the winner will be chosen: On the 1st of August 2008, I will grab my referrer list, delete all duplicates so that every link to the site has an equal chance of winning, and randomly select a winner from the list.

That’s it, the winner will have been decided. I will then hand over the domain to the winner, with the option to continue hosting with me for free for six months, or they can move the site over to their own hosting, in which case I will hand all the files over to them to do with as they see fit.

Over the next few months, as the traffic to the site starts to build, I’ll start to monetise the site, and publish the figures on a regular basis, so that you can all see what you have a chance of winning. I’ll also regularly publish traffic details and search term referrers.

So good luck, and get linking!
