Selling My Blackjack Website

indieangler · #1 02-15-2007, 02:46 PM

I'm currently taking serious offers (in the $XX,XXX range) on my popular blackjack website, BlackjackTactics.com.

The website has a homepage of PR4 and it has been around for a little over a year now. Most interior pages are PR3 pages. There are around 55 pages of quality content, all indexed in Google. All content is completely original, written by myself.

The website has had some amazing SEO work and link exchange work done on it and Google absolutely loves the site. The site has some of the best incoming links available on the Internet (ie DMOZ, Yahoo Directory, Wikipedia, BOTW, Pagat, PokerBabes, etc.) via both paid submission and link exchanges with strictly high quality related websites.

The site is currently averaging around 300-320 unique visitors per day (per Webalizer), the majority of the visitors coming from Google. The site is #3 in Google for the extremely popular and competitive phrase of "blackjack strategy". The site is in the top #25 in Google for "blackjack", #2 in Google for "blackjack probability", #2 in Google for "blackjack probabilities", #5 in Google for "blackjack strategies", #9 in Google for "black jack strategy", etc. There are a ton of blackjack keywords in which you'll find BlackjackTactics.com in the top #10 in Google (I have a list, if interested). In addition to Google, the site also has several top #10 listings in Yahoo which drives some traffic each month.

Traffic has been constantly rising from month to month, for the past 6 months. The website does decent with revenue. For most of it's time live, I was running flat rate ad campaigns with different casinos and not working on CPA or MGR. The site is just now really picking up and starting to blossom more and more with each Google update. I'm looking for a good owner to take over my baby.

I'm selling because of a conflict of interest with my new job. If you have an offer, questions, or would like more information or screen shots of stats, keywords, etc, please PM me to discuss.

Who cares about alexa? I have a site that gets 30 visitors a day and an Alexa rank of 80,000. It's obviously worthless to all "non-webmaster" sites.

Your site has an interesting SEO structure and obviously ranks well for the niche terms. Good luck with the sale.

Alexa definitely isn't a concern to me and never has been. There are lots of tricks and work arounds you can do to improve your Alexa rating, but there's no reason for it. It's pretty much a worthless rating system, imho.

300 hit+ a day seems pretty good for a niche site. im a big fan of blackjack although i give it a bodyswerve online. I gave up with alexa rank a long time ago. get 1000 hits one day and you drop, get 200 hits & you move up. It looks a decent site

All my sites suck for Alexa. I have a site getting over 300 uniques per day alexa 525,000
I have another site getting 60-80 per day and it is like 2 or 3 million
then I got another site getting 20-30 per day and it is 900K

I don't understand Alexa at all. I know my ratings have always sucked there.
They used to be better: I used to have a bunch of sites in 200-300K but never had one higher (I don't think anyways).

But why is it that my site that gets 1/3 th traffic is ranked like 2.5 Mill compared to a site with 3x the traffic ranked 900K?

To my understanding and i could be wrong, alexa ranks sites when from someone having the alexa toolbar installed and uses it to search, and finds the paticular site

indieangler · #8 02-16-2007, 09:18 AM

I think that's correct. Their toolbar is crappy, imho. It's not hard for anyone to install the Toolbar on a few computers and help get an Alexa ranking a lot higher than it currently is.

Anyways......site for sale! =0

I'm not sure why but 50% of my traffic is non IE for some reason. Probably because I have smart visitors

Seeing as Alexa doesn't work with firefox, and i don't know what other browser they work on it would probably explain why my Alexa score sucks.
I no I would never use and Alexa toolbar too. That is probably the most overated ranking thing ever now.
