Drink Recipes Website for Sale, 400,000+ monthly pageviews
April 18th, 2006
On SitePoint and DigitalPoint there is a site called MyDrinkRecipes.com for sale. It’s a rather popular drink recipes website with 400,000+ monthly pageviews done by approx. 4,000 daily unique visitors.
By checking out the stats provided in the sales threads I found that there is definitely space for improvements regarding SEO for Google. The website receives only a little percentage of the overall search engine traffic from Google, which I believe doesn’t reflect the actual amount of searches on each individual search engine.
Another thing I found, that I believe all potential buyers should look into is that about 80% of the sessions doesn’t have a referrer. This is a little odd, but maybe the seller can clarify the issue. It could be that there are that many regular visitors, but I don’t think that is possible.
This website is for sale on auction with a starting bid of $3,000 and a BIN price of $6,500, which seems a little bit high considering that it makes on average $240 a month. And drinks websites doesn’t have any special growth potential - it takes hard work.

Actually, the referral issue makes sense. It’s the famous 80-20 rule, whereby 80% of business comes from 20% of clients. So 80% of the visits are by the returning 20%. There’s a plausible explanation.

Yes, it could be so. Yet I have a hard time believing it for a site of that type.
Anyway the site has long been sold and hopefully the new owner is happy. And if it really is true - he should consider showing some ads for anonymous alcoholics. Those regular visitors must be drinking too much and might need help

A website getting this level of traffic and page views and only making $240/month is certainly a ripe opportunity to acquire. This website business should be employing affiliate ads, adsense links embedded in the main body, and CPM rates of up to $20 - $25.
At $6500 it is an internet business for sale gold mine!
