    Zunes are Microsoft's approach to the Apple iPod. They were launched in U.S recently and received great reviews.

    Microsoft-Zunes.com is 3 months old site, i registered it because i was amazed at how many domains names had been taken with the keyword 'zunes' in.

    I had plans to make this into a big resource with information about Zunes, but other web projects got the better of me, and i was limited to how much time i could spend with this domain, nonetheless, i still made a good site offering reviews & feedback.

    And it's just started paying back! - I added some new content last Wednesday, and by Friday it had been indexed and ranking, that kinda amazed me as i thought new sites had the sandbox process to go through etc, this may have been one of the lucky few that missed the dreaded Google sandbox.

    Here's an AdSense screenshot, and a statcounter graph to give you some idea on traffic and revenue.

    AdSense:

    I haven't promoted this site at all.

    All traffic is Search Engine driven:
    62.50% Google
    25.00% MSN
    9.38% Windows Live
    3.13% Yahoo!

    It's wide open to promotion, and by getting a few good incoming links who knows how successful this site could be.

    This site doesn't use a CMS.

    I still have a lot of ideas for this domain, and will pass them onto the buyer.

    I have the right to end this auction early as i have this auction listed elsewhere.

    Please PM me if you need more details and or want to ask any questions relating to this sale.

    Current Bid is $100 over at sitepoint.

    BIN: $110

    Good Luck!

    The current host - hosting Microsoft-zunes pointed out to me, that if i wanted to host this site with them, i had to change the logo and add text to each page stating this site had no connection with Microsoft whatsoever.

    I did exactly that, and they are hosting this site without worries.

    I see this site doing no-wrong, it's simply giving information on a product Microsoft produce.

    I saw this site for sale on SitePoint and was interested, but there's no getting over the fact that you are profiting from using Microsoft's name. At some point they'll spot it and send in the C&D letter.
