Blog for Sale: GeekCoffee, $8000 revenue last year
February 15th, 2006
The technology blog GeekCoffee (geekcoffee.net & geekcoffee.com) is for sale a NamePros. There isn’t much information in the sales thread, but according to seller the blog should be pulling in around $8000 a year through advertising.
The seller is asking for $8,500, which was lowered from $10,000, so I guess that the interest hasn’t been overwhelming.
Be aware that it seems like there is currently both Google’s Adsense and Yahoo!’s YPN on the blog. This is as far as I know not allowed. So you might not be able to pull the same revenue from it.

Actually YPN and adsense are allowed on the same site but not same page.
Nice site you have

Nice found, and good question!
I don’t know, since I’m not the seller. I didn’t even notive the SiteMeter icon. But I have some possible reasons.
1. The SiteMeter stats shows that there was a lot more activity in May and June 2005. So the seller might have stated the revenue based on what it earned in the last 12 months. Which I must admit, gives a wrong impression.
2. There could be some high paying ads. And using Adsense along with YPN could give a high CPM.
But I believe it’s mainly the first reason, and that the ads might have been more aggressive in the past (this is just a wild guess).
The conclusion must be that the blog probably isn’t worth the price.
I’m glad you like this site! It still very new, but I hope to improve it in the near future.
