online-business-modelsGocape.com, a portal on everything in Cape Town and the Cape of South Africa from travel, jobs, accommodation, business, entertainment and more is on sale.

According to the GoCape developer, Robert Haastrup-Timmi, the portal is a vintage directory and domain for those interested in South Africa’s travel or tourism related business.

GoCape is also of interest to investors with goodwill and financial muscle to design, develop and scale it to the next level.

Haastrup-Timmi wrote in a forum on SiliconCape Initiative, ” After all, 3 million people live in and around Cape Town and lots of global interest in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Traffic is about 1500 uniques a day with about 6 page views per visit and an awesome bounce rate of 10%. I was shocked when I saw that bounce rate on Alexa today…whoa!! This plain vanilla site was organically created back in web 1.0 and we did lots of self-catering cape town accommodation bookings until I focused on other ventures. Booking requests still come in occasionally.”

He added, “I’d love to re-invent or pivot Gocape into a Native Advertising Social web 3.0 platform, using Saas, but no time as I have several global projects on the go. Think Buzzfeed.com as an example. Heads up my inbox if you can help. Asking circa $75k to make it worthwhile and will pay a generous commission.”

GoCape.com uses third party ad servers to display ads and serves banner ads on its site.
