    Hello. :)

    Up for sale is the domain and website www.TopGuilds.com, an MMORPG guild topsite. The website receives about 5,000 unique visitors per day - proof.

    Top Guilds has over 100 members and makes $50.00-$75.00 per month using an affiliate program that I snuck in that look like contextual advertisements. On top of that, it has some Google Adsense revenue - That's at about $5 per month now because I have it at the bottom where nobody looks.

    The domain and site has a Google PageRank of 4 and a lot of traffic. It also features a unique design and is powered by Aardvark Topsites PHP script. Personally, I love the logo - it was created using GIMP.

    Because of the substantial traffic, and ease of an automatic website, I would like to sell this website for $1,000 via Escrow.com - buyer pays fees.

    Please PM or reply if you would like to buy, or if you have any questions.
    Thank you! :)

    Do you pay for any advertisements for this site like banners on other sites? How does the voting work to decide what guild is on top? Your top referer links to a broken banner, what is all that traffic comming from? can you explain the one day that you had a TON of traffic? thanks in advance for your time, im intrested bidder

    EGS, can you provide proof of traffic, Not to doubt you but 5000 uniques is ALOT of traffic and the Alexa rank is really high. I know Alexa isn't accurate but it can be used as a tool.
    Please provide screen shots.

    Where's the traffic from? All I see is a sudden inexplicable burst from 1k per day in Aug to 5k per day in Sept but nothing showing in the search stats to explain where the traffic is from.

    <edit>
    The traffic is bogus. Note the number of 'hits' and 'visits' where no files on the site were accessed (see highlighted screenshot - #3) and the biggest referrer has booted the site from it's listings (see 'warning').

    Referrer

    1 225540 60.52% http://www.nbajersey.net/pr.htm produces first image, 'Warning'

    Hey, the traffic isn't bogus! The traffic is coming mostly to the gateway pages which allow the visitors to enter the site while voting for their site to get to the top of the list! :) That's the beauty of a topsite!

    Also I am not sure what that image is that says warning; please explain.
    Thanks - I will be answering all questions later today as I am off to school now.

    Hi all. I have received a $500 offer but I think it's a bit low. I really would like at least $1000 for this site. Traffic and potential is there! :)

    Thanks.

    Hi everyone. :)

    I am entertaining offers in the amount of $500 and above now. I'm really in need of funds at the moment, so let me loss be your gain! :)

    Imagine putting ads on the gateway pages - that's where most of the visitors are going to! If you made a cent for everyone that goes to the gateway pages, you'll be at over $600 per year, and a soon-to-be millionaire! :D

    You should block this page http://www.nbajersey.net/pr.htm as described by jim in the blog above. it is a spam page that is using up your resources. they usually run automated programs on such pages. and it accounts for 260,000 hits out of 400,000.
    Basically they are draining your server without you knowing egs, beware. It can be done in .htaccess, simple stuff.

    I figured 5000 uniques a day wasn't accurate. Thanks legend2.

    Is anyone interested? This is pretty cheap IMO. I'll start offers at $500.
    I really need to pay off my car insurance soon!

    How do you get 5,000 daily visitors? Isn't it because of inflated visitors due to people displaying buttons on your site? You ought to put a statcounter or extremetracker on your site to get the true number of uniques.

    Ya those turkish websites are the pits. I managed to fix my arcade topsite so I no longer get hammered with it. There are now workarounds for this problem.

    Personally I love my topsite..easy to manage, simple, effective. I have more optimization to do though on the adsense ads for sure.

    This site is no longer for sale.
    Moderator: Please close thread.

    I may put this back up for sale at a later time, but not at the moment.
    Thank you for your interest. :)
