Age of site (months): 5
Monthly revenue: $300
Revenue details:
The site is very good for ads, mainly because people that are going to the site are already looking to buy something. Most of the revenue comes from Chitika, followed by Amazon and Commission Junction, Google Adsense, Linkshare and Reporting.net. I tried YPN through an invite, but it wasn't as good as Adsense.
The Chitika ads get about a 10% CTR on the product pages, and the average CPC is about $.60.
Monthly page views: 150,573 (Oct/Nov)

Traffic details:
PopDeal is unique in the fact that a lot of it's traffic comes from referrals, but not link exchanges.
I write for the relatively new (300 posts) Bargain Hunter channel at Lockergnome. All the posts have a link to PopDeal.com, and almost all of the posts at PopDeal in the last 2 months have a direct link from Lockergnome. That's why the PR climbed to 4 so fast.
The site currently has 870 backlinks from Yahoo.
Description:
PopDeal is a site similar to Techbargains.com. It has the latest technology and consumer electronics deals and rebates. It's incredibly easy to post deals, you don't even have to worry about uploading pictures. (Thanks Chitika!) Buyer will also have access to my simple method for finding deals.
The cost to run the site is currently $10 a month (just paying for hosting).
I have worked very hard at making sure the site would get a substantial amount of traffic from sources other than search engines, and it has. PopDeal currently has:
-68 active readers to the RSS feed (FeedBurner stats)
-971 subscribers to PopDeal's widget for Yahoo!
-384 active subscribers to the automated daily newsletter
-406 subscribers to the PopDeal Klip
I have a great user base waiting for deals to be posted, but I don't have the time due to other projects and work. Hence, the reason I'm selling it
I currently only spend 20 minutes every day or every other day posting to it. There is HUGE potential for someone wanting to post regularly to the site.
