photo upload site amazing no cost traffic

hi all,

i have decided to sell uploadcentre.com. it's been a sound pr3 all pages for some time.

this is based on a common template with some cosmetic changes to make it look more interesting and some script changes so that it offers five different forms of output code. i also added a page of linking-back images with cut and paste code.

the site is built in php and mysql and has a very easy to use admin page which i visit once a day to delete any unnacceptable images, which do not generally amount to much, though it does vary.

you can also easily change details of the script if you wish, eg: the size and types of files you want to accept.

i registered the domain 24-Jan-2005 but did not get around to doing anything with it for months; it's been online for about a year now but to begin with, as you can see from the stats it did next to nothing. not surprising as all i had done was submit it to a few directories.

then a few weeks ago i saw the domain imagewhiz.com for sale here on dp.

it had pr3 and many backlinks but the owner had changed his sites and had no further use for it.

i wondered what, if anything, might happen if i bought it and pointed it to uploadcentre.com so i did just that.

as you can see from the stats the traffic has gone wild and it looks to me like that's only the start (its already nearly novembers total in the first few days of december).

as you see the site displays adsense: don't ask for an adsense screen shot: just take my word that throughout its life the adsense earnings total $5.14 so its safe to assume that is not its selling point!

most traffic seems to be from the the USA and Aus. sadly i have no idea how to benefit from it. clearly this site needs an operator who can turn this traffic into money.

the sale has a starting price of $50. bid increment $10 or multiples thereof.

there is a modest reserve: i will post when it is reached.

i will set and post a bin later when i can guage the level of interest.

i would like to get the sale over within say 2/3 days and will post a

finishing time later.

payment by paypal.

feel free to pm if you wish but please bid in the thread so everybody knows what's happening.

 

Please provide stats by date, ex in awstats it shows on which date how much traffic was recorded.

Any you are asking for 50$ for a site that made 5$ through 2..3..4 months?

That seems a bit too much.
A reasonable start would be 20$

Lemme know.

 

gurillanet, I noticed that you took it upon yourself to bash other people's threads? what makes you think you can tell the seller what he should sell his site for?
Maybe your professional evaluation missed the fact his domain is 2 years old, a pr3, has traffic for last year.

Not that I'd like to bid here, but your attitude is really weird. You want to buy a site for $1? wait for one to be available.

 

Well if i come off as bashing the OPs site then im truely sorry, i apologize for any inconvinience.

I try to ask them openly of what i think of the site and what i can offer.

Once again im sorry for any inconvinience on my account.

 

I wanted to see how many uniques/visitors you get daily, can you explain why the 1k average dropped from 7th december?

Besides the redirection from that other domain have you done any advertising?

 

1. no.
2. as stated in my first post i have done no advertising or promotion of any kind except submitting to some directories.

 

Has this kind of traffic drop come across in november?
I just wanna know if this happens alot to this site or not.
