KillerChops.tv Shows streaming videos of accomplished musicians. It's a website directed at other musicians and people interested in seeing top-notch musicianship skills.

The site gets posted on social bookmarking sites a lot because of its content.

Videos are streamed directly from youtube.

The site is based on a purchased script, and has had many modifications. It includes a complete back-end system for posting new videos, searching users, etc.

The site has been running since November and immediately made it to the front page of Digg (hence the immediate spike in traffic). It gets constant traffic from other sites like stumbleupon and also a lot of direct traffic. The nice thing is that each video on it's own can get on the bookmarking sites, not just the front page, so it can appear again & again...

The site has also appeared on the homepage of maxim magazine online.

I have not put any money into marketing whatsoever, and I imagine that you would be able to increase traffic quite a bit with a proper marketing campaign.

It ranks very well in search engines.. for example in Google:

Keywords: Videos of Musicians = #3 out of 1.5 million
Keywords: Videos for Musicians = #2 out of 1.7 million
Keywords: Insane guitar solo = #7 out of 201,000
...there are many examples.

I haven't really spent the time trying to monetize it, but I do have one person paying me $100/month for advertising, which in retrospect was too cheap. There are many places that you could put ads, I just haven't spent the time trying to sell ads.

Traffic in the last 30 days has been:
77,712 visits
133,838 pageviews

Traffic in the last 65 days has been:
202,644 visits
348,582 pageviews

(note that traffic is not going down, it's going up. The discrepancy showing higher traffic at the beginning is due to 900+diggs in one day)

Traffic goes up & down quite a bit daily depending on incoming traffic from referring sites. I'm sure with some work the traffic could be increase.

Also, I have spent close to no time adding new videos since I set it up (I've got around 600 up there now). To add a video is quite easy, simply type in the youtube ID & a description. I would recommend adding at least a video or 2 each day to help build traffic, I just haven't had the time. Also, you would focus on adding videos that would make it onto digg, etc.

I will also give the following domains with the auction:

killerchops.net
killerchops.info
killerchops.org

Yahoo: shows total 1784 backlinks to the entire site

Initial pagerank is 3 (just got ranked last week), but I'm suspecting that will go up as google finds all the backlinks.

Looking for offers around the $700 zone, so anyone offering an offer around that zone will get the site. For payment, we can moneybookers.

 

Site has ALOT of room for potential. Not even monetized. Can easily earn $300+ a month.

Will buy for $700, but will pay it at 50/50, thru moneybookers

 

Hey suikomo, pardon me for asking, do you have a BIN in mind?

 

ok, so you are not taking more offers right?

 

Congrats on quick sale i was about to bid good luck to the buyer

 

Not sure its such a 'quick sale' just yet ...
Will keep you posted!

 

3 q's:

1. Are the vids embedded properly so that YouTube don't whup your a55 for bandwidth
leeching (I also don't see any credit or statement anywhere that YouTube serves the
content)?

2. What's your BIN?

3. Did you sell?

Thx!

s ;-]

 

I see hes banned, anyone know if this is still available? Would be perfect match to tie together with my other site :/

 

he's a scammer, ripped me off for $500, i feel like an idiot.
Does anyone know his real name? I THINK IT'S MICHAEL RAMIREZ.
We were in the middle of transferring the site & domain, or so i thought, then he deliberately got himself banned.

 

Hello:

I am the owner of KillerChops.tv

The person who listed my site on this forum is trying to scam you. I did post the site for sale on sitepoint.com, but for much more than $700. It appears as though this person has copied my listing and posted it here.

If I can help in any way, please let me know.

 

Here is a link to the real listing:

http://www.sitepoint.com/marketplace/auction/19286

 

I realized that this guy was fishing after exchanging a couple of PM's yesterday.
After I posted and asked for the BIN he immidiately posted that the site was sold. Crazy...

I should have posted a stinker warning here. Sorry I didn't do that.

 

He's given a negative iTrader for Shawn, the owner of DP, before getting banned.

 

Bit scarey, i'm looking at buying a site myself, put me off slightly

 

Wow, that is scary how easily some people can come off as real. Glad he got caught, and banned for that matter.
