proxy network making $1200/mo, 140,000 uniques in nov., on pace for 300,000 uniques..

Okay, I am selling a proxy network of 5 sites. The sites make money through adbrite and adversal. I have used different ad programs such as adsense with it as well and the revenue stays basically the same no matter the ad program. It has been around for about 3 months (dates on the whois may be different on some of the domains as I had to transfer them to a new host because of bandwidth limitations; thats a good thing, too much traffic) and the network makes about $1200 per month from adbrite and adversal. Last month there were a total between the 5 sites of about 140,000 uniques. This month it is already averaging about 10,000 per day so it is on pace for 300,000. The top site, stealthtracks, has a predicted page rank of 4.

http://www.StealthTracks.com (adsense is on it now as I wanted to test it for one day)
http://www.NowStealth.com
http://www.Evadr.com
http://www.ProxyOnTop.com
http://www.TopOverLord.com (I am in the middle of doing a transfer with this site so it is currently down)

97% of the traffic and revenue come from stealthtracks and nowstealth. Stealthtracks has a predicted page rank of 4, and the rest are unknowns when I searched on iwebtool, but since nowstealth has very similar stats it should be around a pr 4 next update.

Traffic in november was about 140,000 uniques in cumulative (as mentioned before 97% of traffic and revenue is from stealthtracks and nowstealth). So far this month there is an average of about 10,000 uniques cumulative per day.

I am looking for something around $4500, but I will start the bidding at $2000. Traffic and revenue screenshots are below. Let me know if you have any questions. Auction will end 3 days from the start time of this thread.

(I have no applicable revenue stats for december (october and november are included) as I have been playing around with different ad programs including clickbooth which only pays per lead; however, traffic has increased from last month so there won't be any problems) Stats can be found here:

Summary:

-Proxy Network, 5 sites
-10,000 uniques per day
-$1200+ per month through adbrite and adversal although any ad program would generate similar numbers
-Starting bid: $2000
-Asking price: $4500

 

Can I see adsense for the second half of Nov and also which proxy are the adsense stats for?

 

As you'll see on the screenshot dates the adbrite and adversal picked up when the adsense stats stopped (meaning adsense was replaced with adbrite and adversal). All revenue screens are for all the sites combined. But you'll also see that if you add up everything no matter what ad program you use it still makes roughly $1200/mo.

Hope that clears it up. Let me know if you have any more questions.

 

How much does hosting cost per month?

 

I'm hosting it on the reseller plan at hostgator.com. $25 for 12gb space and 125gb bandwidth per month. Pretty good deal. I used reseller just because it is more convenient for me to set up sites that way, I do not own a hosting company. I suppose you can take over my hosting account if you like, but I would prefer if you signed up for a host yourself. Bluehost also has a great hosting package and I would recommend them too (some of the domains are hosted there so you would get a free push also).

 

can you post country stat?

 

Thats odd I had one proxy site running on a dedicated server at hostgator and the site was not pulling nearly the kind of traffic you say... and they forced me to shut it down...

 

Do you mean perecentagewise of what country visitors come from? Let me know, thanks.

 

yeah..that's what I meant...top 5..

Site still has not sold. I have a couple of interested parties but am giving one day for anyone to match the buy it now.

 

Doesn't the Hostgator TOS says that proxy websites are not allowed?

Edit: I just messaged HostGator support, and proxy websites are definitely not allowed. Just an FYI.

 

Okay well then I suppose I will simply tell the buyer not to signup with hostgator then. This isn't really an issue but thank you for calling it to my attention.

 

Please PM me site traffic details

 

Go here to see all traffic details, as mentioned in the first post:

For reference, if you are interested (all stats listed in first post, but if you have any additional questions or want to purchase):

is email
is my msn address
-benk33 is my yahoo address
-or just post your offers in the forum

Thanks.

 

would you consider selling them separately?
I would be interested in 3 of them!

 

Well yes, but due to the fact that stealthtracks.com and nowstealth.com are responsible for 95-97 percent of the revenue, they would also be worth 95-97 percent of the $4500 BIN. Let me know which 3 you wanted and how much you would be offering/paying.

 

I added you to MSN, I'm looking to bid BIN but need to ask some questions.

The screenshot for adbrite looks fake. One of the highest days you had with adbrite were on 19th of Nov. Yet this is a Sunday, and traffic drops 70% on proxies on Sundays. Also, network ads reads $10.13, CPM ads $8.82, and Affiliate ads - $0.00, yet the total earnings are $53.23??

How did you get upto 100k impressions in adsense per day with only 10k visitors per day, if you're allowed to have adsense only on the home page? Did you put it in the proxied pages? Is this site banned from Google?

 

sounds dodgy, well pointed out edmunds!
