Wow! I'll bid the $5

 

DESCRIPTION:
This is a large musical instrument site, indexed in all 3 major search engines, that has an article database, music lesson videos from YouTube, a database of music software downloads, and thousands of musical instruments that can be purchased for a commission.

THIS IS NOT A TURNKEY SITE. THIS IS A UNIQUE, CUSTOM BUILT SITE. I WILL SELL NO OTHER ZZOUNDS.COM AFFILIATE SITES EVER AND WILL SIGN A CONTRACT TO THAT NATURE UPON COMPLETION OF THE DEAL.

I apologize about the legal language used in parts of this auction. If you look at my iTrader though, you'll see that I am a pleasure to work with. I've just been advised by my attorney to increase my legal disclosure to protect both you the buyer, and myself, the seller.


MONETIZING THE SITE:
Here are the affiliate commission rates for the site, which utilizes the zzounds.com affiliate program:

The winner of the auction will need to sign up for a free zzounds.com affiliate account, and place zinstruments.com as a site for approval. They will need to update the database to remove my affiliate code. The database is unique for each account, and the records themselves contain the affiliate id in the links. The winner will also need a hosting account that supports PHP, MySQL, and CRON jobs. I will setup the site on your server, provided you are willing to give me your cpanel information and ftp access.

I have not marketed this site at all, since I have only recently built it, thus there is no revenue to report. The key to getting sales through this site is in advertising. Using an effective AdWords campaign is sure to turn you a significant profit. Also, adding original articles to the articles database will help your organic traffic.


TEMPLATE & SITE DESIGN:
The template is slightly modified stock template that is both simple and elegant, a perfect match for the site.

The site utilizes my standard PHP code base (in other words, it uses PHP code I have written that I use on almost all my sites) that has been customized. You will not receive rights to this code, other than a license to use the code on the domain zinstruments.com. Use on any other domain or site is strictly prohibited and will constitute a breach of contract. You may modify the source code as much as you like, however you are prohibited from using any derivative work or modifications of the source code on any other domain other than zinstruments.com.


ADDING CONTENT TO THE SITE:

Adding content is as simple as adding data to a MySQL database. All tables and fields are clearly labeled. The zzounds.com products update themselves using a PHP script and a CRON job. The articles, videos, and downloads must be added manually.

I have not built an admin panel as there is no content to approve. However, if you would like a simple backend in order to add more articles, videos, and downloads, I am in the process of building one anyway. I will give you a license to use the admin backend when it is complete, and will install it on your site when I complete it, if you so desire.


EDITING OF SITE:
I will do some basic editing of the site for you. For example, if you'd like to change the email address for the CONTACT menu, I will happily edit that for you. Other minor changes will be done at no cost as well. However, I will not add, delete, or modify the site in any substantial way without due compensation. It is up to my sole discretion to determine what constitutes a substantial change.


BONUS:
This site has a PR 4 backlink from my Web Design Portfolio page that will remain for at least 1 year after the sale. The main page of my Spokane Web Design page also currently has a PR5 link to the site, but I reserve the right to remove the site from my front page.

DISCLAIMER & LEGAL INFORMATION:
With this purchase you receive the domain, and the site's contents, however you are specifically forbidden from copying, duplicating, or in any other method reselling any clone or derivative work of this site. You will receive a lifetime license to the script, however the script is not owned by you and you may only use the script on the domain name zinstruments.com. The script is Copyright (C) 2006 by Jeff Quindlen and all rights are reserved. In order to enforce this legally, I will only sell the site to residents of the United States. The site is sold "as is" without any expressed or implied warranty. I reserve the right to create another zZounds.com affiliate site for my personal portfolio and earnings, but per this agreement I will not sell the site to any 3rd party and the site must remain under my ownership or the ownership of my parent company, whichever party retains the rights to my current business portfolio. I reserve the right to continue to use portions of the source code, in whole or in part, for other sites that are not zZound.com affiliate sites (excluding the aforementioned exception.) Before completion of the deal, both parties must digitally sign a binding legal contract agreeing to the above stipulations. This is to protect both the buyer and the seller. If you have questions, please consult your attorney before entering into this legal agreement.

 

$100 from me.

 

Why is there no brass, woodwind or strings?

 

chimaera has the high bid at $100. jkjazz, those instruments are not there because zzounds decided not to carry them apparently. The inventory is all up to them.

Google listings jumped up to 124 today, yesterday there were only 53 pages, the day before there were only 34. I'm not sure if people realize what this site is and why they should bid for it. Essentially, there are very few other zZounds affiliate sites on the net, so competition is low. If I can get the money I need some other way before the end of this auction, I will not sell it for even $1000. All this site is lacking to pull in revenue, is an Adsense campaign. That's it. An effective Adsense campaign will insure that the site does successfully, especially since it is very easy to reach the higher bonus tiers. This custom site is a steal at $500.

 

I will go $125.

 

bmac, you've got the high bid at $125. Auction is scheduled to end in less than 2 days, so keep the bids coming.

 

I bid for $130.

 

Do you plan on selling for the high bid? Or $500 minimum?

 

Hi chimaeram. Thanks for your earlier bid and for the question. To answer that question, I will go with the highest bid. $500 is the BIN (Buy it now) price. energetic has the high bid @ $130 currently. Happy bidding!

 

In that case, I will bid $150.

 

chimaera has the high bid at $150.

BIN REDUCED TO $250

LESS THAN 24 HOURS REMAINING IN AUCTION!!!!

 

I see that you have it as your featured site on your PR5 spokane web design . Do you know how long you plan to keep the link on your main page?
