    Wallpaper site with exact match domain .com. The CPC for the main keyword is $0.55.

    The site is #2 in Google. It is on the first two positions from more than a year.

    The site is running on a simple script, without database. All the image resolutions are generated automatically from a single image file and saved in the cache folder. The name of the folders with original images are used as categories.

    The site is fully seo optimized.

    Traffic (Awstats):
    Jan: 5,812 visits, 30,745 pages
    Feb: 4,675 visits, 19,144 pages
    Mar: 5,335 visits, 22,095 pages
    Apr: 15,776 visits, 55,759 pages
    May 01 - May 16: 4,173 visits, 15,173 pages
    Full Awstats Screenshot is Available Here

    In April the traffic was higher for a few days when Thomas Kinkade died. After few days the traffic came back to normal.

    Revenue:
    My Adsense account was banned about 6 months ago because of a proxy site (without any relation to this site). The revenue for this site was about $30-$35/month. Unfortunately I can't provide any proof as I don't have access to the account anymore, but my feedback score should inspire you to trust me :)

    The domain was registered at Name.com two years ago and it was just renewed until May 2013.

    Feel free to ask any questions.

    2 Questions:

    >> Isn't it illegal to copy copyrighted work on your website?

    >> Is it possible to expand the website with more wallpapers? How? Any risk?

    P.S. I put my bid, but I will not raise it, if I am not satisfied with the answers.

    @psharma,

    All the wallpaper sites have copyrighted images, but the risk is almost zero as long as you don't claim that you own the images. Actually would be a good idea to add a notice and to explain who owns the images. I can do this for you. I have owned many wallpaper sites on different niches (girls, celebrities, cars etc) and I never had copyright problems.

    Adding more images is easy. You only have to upload the images by ftp or cpanel/filemanager. The only restriction is that the file and folder names to have no spaces (use hyphen instead). The folder name is used as category and the file name as image name. All the image resolutions, including thumbnails, are generated automatically and cached.

    Please let me know if you have any more questions.

    Alexa is toolbar dependent. On some niches there are very few users having the alexa toolbar installed. There's nothing wrong with the rank of my site.

    Yes, let me know the keywords (or other sources) you are getting traffic from, as the main keywords has only nearly a 1000 searches, while you are getting more traffic than that.

    And how difficult it is to make changes to add my adsense code in desired positions, as I can see it is not wordpress or anything like that.

    Please see the awstats screenshot from the first post.
    Also, here's a new screenshot with all the keywords: http://a4ce.info/tkw_k_2012_05_18.png
    (edit: this screenshot is for 18 days only, from May 01 to May 18)

    Integrating the adsense code shouldn't be difficult. I can help you with that if you wish.
