    Site: http://re-downloads.info

    I purchased this website a couple of weeks ago from http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2529541 - When I bought the site it was getting around 5k visitors a day and has grown since.

    The sites traffic has grown and as google continues to index new pages the site continues to get more traffic. Over the last couple of days, the site has been getting 10k+ visitors/day. Only around 23% of this is from search engines and almost the rest is from direct traffic, which I was told was traffic from google images.

    I'm selling because I haven't found a way to monetize the traffic. Some of the keywords are adult related so it limits the options.

    From google analytics:

    http://re-downloads.info/wp-content/analytics-1.pdf
    http://re-downloads.info/wp-content/analytics-2.pdf

    I added my own google analytics code on August 20. If you are interested in the site and need more analytics information, send me a PM.

    Bidding starts at $10. BIN $800. Low reserve.

    PM me with any questions.

    hi,
    why are you not trying to monetize with alternative adsense company?

    I am very happy to see the traffic growth. But I am sorry that this site has some keywords that are adult related. It has included some prohibition words although, but I have not found what causes the bad words not filtered.

    Good luck with your auction mate

    Regards
    S

    I see that majority of the traffic is direct.

    I would help Sean9 to describe the reason of the high direct traffic.

    This site is a wallpaper related website, right? As its all about pictures,wallpapers,images, the major traffic source is mainly come from Google Image Search Result (google img). When visitors from google img click this site's picture on google img result, it should be redirected to a picture that framed by Google in the normal condition, right?
    But this site has a frame breaker, so people coming from google image would not be stopped by only a frame, but it would soon redirected to this site, and this is considered as direct traffic by GAnalytics (and others, possible).

    You also could see the histats proof and check the 'search engines' section on the left panel to see the traffic sources and what keywords coming for.

    Hey Sniper, thanks for taking a SHOT at this and helping Sean9, that's what friends are for right? Can you also help Sean9 with enlightening me on the overlapping of the two Analytics between Aug 20 to 25 that do not match? I would greatly appreciate it because it is confusing to me. I understand that Sean9 added the analytics on 20th.

    I own a mostly picture site also,,,

    And direct traffic, is caused by users clicking on Pics from google image search,, and should be looked on as search traffic. Some 50% of my visitors in Google Analytics are listed as Direct,, but this is really just search traffic from Google Image Search.
    My site also breaks frames, if someone clicks on an image from google image search,, instead of getting the pic with just a grey background (Google Frame),, My site will break the frame and open my site Direct.

    It's nice to be able to help out a fellow image site owner...

    You are very welcome dude. I just helped out because I am the previous seller of this site. For the overlapping I cannot help you with that, we need to wait for Sean9 to explain this, I respect him as the seller.
    That's very kind of you, Satguy. +1 repo for the explanation.

    you are welcome dude. thanks for the itrader just submitted anyway.
    I would help Sean9 for this one too (please correct me if I am wrong, Sean!). There are no incoming yet for this site as he does not want to monetize it with adsense because there are some adult related keywords.

    I see all the pages are redirected. Is this website using BING API or pictures are uploaded manually?

    Images need to be manually added. I removed the code where it would grab images from google, certain keywords would bring up images I wouldn't want on site.

    EDIT: Site has been sold!
