    Hey all,

    The site for sale is: http://www.GTRides.com

    This site was created in June 2004. It used to be my baby and receive really solid traffic. In March 2006 it averaged nearly 500 visits and 1000 pageviews per day.

    However, since then I haven't done much work on the site. I redesigned it last year (made it smaller and updated the content) to try and increase traffic but that didn't help.

    Right now the site gets around 75 visits per day. It isn't making significant revenue.

    Please note - this is a PROJECT. The site has a good history, and can definitely regain its former glory with a little hard work. If you are looking for a website to buy cheap and flip for a massive profit, GTRides is probably a good choice.

    Looking for offers in the mid $xxx range. If you are a good internet marketer...you should be all over this deal.

    I have proof of stats for those who are interested.

    Am I mistaken? I thought your site used to have a forums section and many more sections. I don't see much there now except for the homepage and few links going down the side. Is there a gallery section?

    Frankly asking mix xxx is a bit too high. I would consider it for $100 or so. It has page rank only 1

    Thanks for your input. However, I beg to differ.

    It's been around 4 years and could easily rank highly in Google with a little work put into it.

    a 17-20 page site... Recieved 1000 Visits a day???

    tht could be possible in only 2 ways, via,

    1. Search Enines: which means you posted something about some car which was Unique to other sites.... If this was the case, could you please reveal the keywords it was listed for???

    2. Advertising: If thts the case could you please let us know how much you spent to recieve 1000 visits???

    Also, did you reduce the content of the page during your restructuring, in hope to increase the traffic, which obviously did work out for you.

    ....

    Correct me if I'm wrong - the domain was dropped at the end of 2006. You picked it up a few months later, possibly March 2007. Is this correct?

    I have available funds and have been looking to get into automotive niche, but need to know sincere history of the domain.

    Incorrect. I registered this domain name in 2004 and have renewed it each year on time. I don't know where you saw that it expired during some point over the last few years, as you can see here: http://whois.domaintools.com/gtrides.com

    As for the traffic history, I'll try and explain it:

    The original site looked like this: http://www.gtrides.com/530i.html (photos no longer work because I removed the photo directory from the server to save space - I still have the pics on my computer and can include them with the sale)

    All traffic came organically (no advertising). However, when the traffic started dropping off I decided to re-make the site to see if that would help. I kept the old pages on the server, but uploaded a new site overtop. Obviously the re-design didn't help traffic and I don't feel like working on this site anymore.

    No CMS script used.

    Right now the site doesn't rank well for many keywords...it used to though (back when traffic was higher)

    Well, I received a $450 offer. I accepted it and the buyer said he would pay yesterday. It's been 24 hours and I haven't heard anything.

    Anyone else want it for $450?
