Description:
DSavenue.com is a Nintendo DS news and commentary site. It is managed through the free CMS, Mambo, and has an easy to use admin backend and excellet support forum.

You will get:
- the domain (transfered on GoDaddy)
- exclusive rights to all 9 video game reviews written by me and all content on the site
- custom site design
- access to phpadsnew for a list of current/past advertisers so you can get in touch with and renew advertising banners.

The final bidder will pay through Paypal where I'm verified.

Upon payment I will change the Adsense pub-IDs so you can start generating money right away. I will email you the cPanel hosting username/password so you can start the transfer of the site. You will also be given the password for the phpAdsNew area of the site and admin area for the site. Details on moving a Mambo site from my webhost to yours can be found here and here.

You will have until June 3rd to move the website off my current host before my hosting account expires. You will be solely responsible for moving the site by June 3rd.

I am selling the site because I just got a full-time corporate summer job.

Generating Content:

It takes me no more than 15 minutes per day to scan various Nintendo DS news sources (which I'll provide you a list of when you purchase the site) and see what's new that I can write about. On weekend I usually spend a little more time and develop longer editorials or articles to publish.
