Selling Arcade Site, with traffic and revenue (NinjaMadness.Com)

    Hey guys,

    I have been extremely busy since xmas, therefore, sadly I have decided to sell my arcade site. You will notice that since xmas the traffic and revenue has decreased, purely because I have not devoted enough time to the site. A few hours spent by the winner could easily bring this site back to life.

    The Domain Name and Script

    NinjaMadness.Com is the site that is up for sale, the domain name is registered at NameCheap, and of course a free push is provided, the domain name is also a PR 2. The site is powered by AvArcadePro, an arcade script (Please note that the winner will have to have a license to use the script, or I will allow the use of my license and provide file updates as they become available).

    The Site

    As stated previously, the site is powered by AvArcade Pro, and currently has 104 games (All hosted in the server), with 128 members and has had 205,148 games played, the current version of the script used is 5.4.6 (With the latest being 5.5.1, however I have been too busy to update the script). The site has a stock theme which it uses (has been modified) and on the backend uses a newsletter mod. The use of AvArcade is very easy and a demo is provided on the AvArcade Site.

    Traffic

    Since the site inception to current day it has had 100,783 Visits, 47,087 Unique Visitors and 461,817 Pageviews according to Google (Screenshot HERE. As you are able to tell, since xmas the traffic has decreased purely because I have been too busy to dedicate any time to the site, in addition when viewing the chart, the reasons for the dips in traffic is because they fall on the weekend, the lowest point of traffic for the site.

    The site mainly gets its traffic from the US (Screenshot HERE) as well as a few other places. In addition the site gets 30% of its traffic from Google and the rest from other sources (Screenshot HERE)

    Revenue

    Now the important issue, revenue, the site has made a nice little sum over the past year, £343 (Thats $540), this was main down to hard work before xmas to bring the traffic in, updating games and interacting with users (Screenshot HERE). I have used Google Adsense, and it has worked for me, the new owner might consider other path ways.

    Payment will be made by PayPal, I am able to offer up to 15 days free hosting, after that I will have to charge, in addition I'm un able to assist in moving the site to a new server.

    Any questions or comment feel free to send them my way,

    Thanks for reading,

    Dan

    I have never used Google Ads on this site, generally for an arcade traffic dips off in jan and then picks up - however like I've said, since xmas I've hardly spent any time on the site, nor have I actively promoted it and done any link building etc.

    Hope that helps,

    Dan

    Why the drop in Traffic in January?

    Do you have the source code for the games or does that belong to other people?

    Let me be more concise. How were you promoting this before? Were you promoting via paid ads?

    Help Desk, The site has not used any paid ads, the site has purely attracted its visitors by hard work, by use of Q&A sites plus posting on blogs.

    thanks

    How do you handle your website transfers?
    Basically I like to keep the source site online, while I copy it to my own host and fix any issues
    due to it moving to a new file structure then... I transfer the domain onto the new site...

    I do this to prevent as much down-time as possible, is this something you could accommodate?

    I generally copy the whole site to the new server (test to see if its working on that server) then switch the domain name. Like I've said I'm more than happy to provide hosting for 15 days whole the winner transfers the site!

    Thanks
