Do we have any revenue for this site?

fastworld · Nov 17, 2008

Revenue has dropped over past few months.
Currently avg £300 per month.

However rev since nov 07 to present day = £19699

storebuilder · Nov 17, 2008

Too steep for me. Thx.

paulc · Nov 17, 2008

Do you know what percentage of those uv's are direct type in?

fastworld · Nov 17, 2008

Hard to say with my stats.
If my memory serves me right before it was developed it received about 20 - 50 type ins per day.

Please email me more info on rev figures.
Thanks

Email sent, thanks.

how much of the pr rating is derived from the redirect from ukcomplete.co.uk ?

fastworld · Nov 17, 2008

Probably None.

There are a few old domains redirected but they will have very little impact.

mibut · Nov 17, 2008

find that odd, as several backlinks showing in google from the bbc for ukcomplete.co.uk

fastworld · Nov 17, 2008

A few old domains were redirected to ukhotels when it launched in sept 07.
Forgot they were there to be honest.

However the page rank gained and rankings in serps;

hotels in glasgow - Yahoo! Search Results

hotels in scarborough - Yahoo! Search Results

is from 10 months of good seo work.

Nothing too odd...

mibut · Nov 17, 2008

well, looking at your other backlinks, the majority come from one of your other sites and virtually all the rest from "online" group sites.

fastworld · Nov 17, 2008

the "online' group are the people who do the seo work...

I didnt realise it was such an issue for you where the backlinks come from??

mibut · Nov 17, 2008

Its an issue when those links can be easily pulled after a sale and what was a pr5 is ......................

fastworld · Nov 17, 2008

And does that not go for any website that is sold??

If i puchased a site i wouldnt sit around hoping that it will stay as it is forever...

I personally would not remove any links to any sites i have sold.
However it is up to the buyer / new owner to continue development including link building...

mibut · Nov 17, 2008

When looking at buying a site, I always check out how the site has got its rating and where the links are coming from.
Of course I would not rely entirely on what is there now, but expect that a site with a pr of 5 would have a larger range of backlinks rather than the "engineered" and redirects that you seem to have.

fastworld · Nov 17, 2008

I think it has a large range of backlinks.

I left i few old domains there and paid a decent seo company to seo the site.
It features high in serps for various phrases.

The traffic is either type-in or serps.

Is this not how most normal decent websites gain there traffic??
