Search Engine for Sale

Investors, Internet Business Owners and Employees (tired of your 9-to-5 jobs and the ones working on different work schedules)!

I thought that you should know that if you are trying to invest into an automated money making machine you might have dreamed of before, but never had the time and/or the knowledge to implement one, no need to look further, because the new but quickly growing web search engine UpperSites.com is now for sale. Don't let the word "new" discourage you, because this search engine is being backed up with over 30 search engines I built and maintained for several years. Those search engines have generated over $110,000 (USD) in net revenue last year. (See the screen shots below showing traffic and income statement not including international traffic and income from one of the feed providers for a period of one year until July 2006 when I moved and stopped maintaining the search engine business)

Investors, accountants and financial advisors told me that based on last years revenue I should not sell my business under $300,000, but I would let you decide how much this incredible business opportunity would be worth for you, so please use the offer form at the bottom of this page to show me how serious you are purchasing this ready-to-go business.

I say that it's ready to go, because even if you did not invest a penny more, this business will build up itself automatically, since every search that has not been requested makes the search engine smarter and the site bigger. Search Engine Optimization specialist know that with this kind of technology the site will keep attracting more and more visitors by letting the top search engines know that the site is expanding! Also, the built in spider or search engine crawler is continuously crawling the web to build a growing database, a copy of the world wide web which includes only quality pages.

The site generates revenue by displaying pay per click ads above the natural web results which are currently producing an outstanding 15% CTR (Click Through Rate). Since this site is new, its current revenue is below $5000, month, but steadily increasing. Investors with extra advertising budget already know that placing ads on cheap PPC (Pay Per Click) networks
 could jumpstart the site even faster.

The sale includes over 30 domains names, web servers in a secure datacenter, source codes and additional software. An already huge, up-to-date database of websites used for web results and a keyword database for related searches and suggestions. The site includes virtually tens of thousands of web pages with web results and relevant ads, perfectly optimized for search engines which demands free search engine traffic from Google, Yahoo, MSN/Live Search many other search engines.

The estimated total value of the over 30 domain names included in this sale are over $100,000 according to leapfish.com a 3rd party domain evaluation service. The estimated total value of the web servers (running powerful Windows 2003 Web OS licenses and MySQL for the databases) is nearly $25,000.
 The value of the web sites, search query software, web crawler estimated by the hours spent on development; the keyword database built up by SEO professionals, keyword statistics and returning visitors by submitting queries and the database of hundreds of thousands of web pages built by our unique search engine crawler totals to over $200,000.

To build up a business like this from idea through development and initial marketing would cost you over $300,000! But I am thinking realistically, so I do not expect you to pay more than what you think would be fair for a business like this so, please submit your offer at the bottom of the page.

Reason for selling: I am considering to take a serious job offer which when I start will require my full attention and it is a requirement not to be part of a competing/similar type of business...
