Selling High Traffic URL Shortening Service

Hello,

I own a URL shortening service that I am willing to sell, as I need funds for a few new projects.

The site is www.miturl(.)com. The domain is over 2 years old, is listed on DMOZ, and I just recently submitted the site for 2500+ backlinks (to go along with the backlinks it already had as well as all the shortened links posted online).

The site gets over 21K UVs/month. Unfortunately the script broke at the end of november, but I have paid to get it fixed a few days ago (thanks lhornaday). Since it took me a while to get it done, I was a little behind in traffic last month , but now that the script works, traffic is picking up quickly (at about 13K currently)! As you can see, traffic is still growing fast, and I am expecting to get close to 30K UVs this month, even with the script problems.

The site makes about $35+/month, when promoted correctly. I have monetized a little with Adbrite, but have found that I make a LOT more money selling private links and ads through webmaster forums. Revenue was never a big focus of mine - I believe that once traffic is built, revenue will follow. I have no succeeded in building traffic pretty high consistently, so this is your chance to make some money!

This site was the first HTML site I build, so it will be sad to see it go. Because of my immediate need of funds, I am willing to let this site go for CHEAP if the deal can be made relatively quickly (notice 24 hour auction).

The site will come with everything you see. It will also come with an original Resellers copy of the script. I can also give you the ftp info for my current hosting, so you can move the site over to your own hosting without the site going down at all. Free push of domain to your Name.com account

This site requires really no maintenance, and can make you lots of money! It uses less than 400mb of bandwidth each month, and less than 500mb disk space (which means you can get the cheapest hosting around!).

I am letting this site go for just 10 months earnings, and with traffic like this, you can make it back in no time at all!

Now at over 17K UVs this month so far!

 

I will offer 75$

 

Thanks boxcar, but will only consider offers of 8 months revenue +

 

hmmm, the script doesnt seem to work?
i added http://google.com, and it returned the your domain.

 

Yes, it appears the script isnt working currently. As part of the sale, I agree to have the script fixed (and working perfectly) at my own expense. I am on it.

BIN reduced to $280 (just 8 months revenue) as the script is not working perfectly right now. This is as low as I can go, because it is the amount I need for my new project.

 

I am willing to offer you $200 for your site. It will give you a jump start on your next project nevertheless.

 

The site is now fully functional. The script broke due to the large number of links he has. It is now ready for unlimited links.

I will stand behind my work even to the new owner.

Thanks.

 

Thanks lhornaday for the great work!

Still accepting offers, or buy it now!

 

can you please upload the whole screenshot where it shows your site url too because it is hard to believe that a site with 17k uniques has an alexa of over one million

 

sure, I will do that right now.

The alexa rank has been all over the place, because of a few times the sites has been down without my knowledge. The first time was in september I believe, when my hosting failed (for about 3 or 4 days). The next time was the almost 20 days the script was down between november and december.

Here is the full screen shot, up to and including the 17th (since my AWStats updates once a day):

Do you have google analytics installed on this site?

I am willing to put in an offer for $220.

Please email me at

 

No, google analytics is not installed on the site right now - I have been using AWStats since July. I have received higher offers, but will be emailing you now.

 

BIN Set to $260 for the last 25min of the sale. Post sold and its yours!
