    hi everyone....

    about a half a year ago my friend jack (xadet3) gave me a some money for a domain and offered me some webspace to start a site...
    i wasn't very experienced with making sites, and never even thougd of making money with them.. so i made a site about my favorite pets.. you can guess it! it's cats!

    it started off as a single page with cute pictures i got of google and some friends(the page is now http://www.cuddlycats.net/random.html) just to cheer people up! and after some time i added the newest and cutiest cat pages and i had also put some other cute pets on it... then i tried some advertising on it, i used clicksor (which is still on quite some pages) but it didn't earn much ($4 in 4 months:p).. i also made a gallery from all the pictures(http://www.cuddlycats.net/catz.html) and a few months later i visited the forum called wickedfire.com and asked for some advice there. and it became a really big thread with a lot of advices!(http://www.wickedfire.com/traffic-supreme/391-how-can-i-get-traffic-my-site.html)
    it is now a wordpress site with a modified free template and it's earning quite a lot in google adsense(see stats)!

    but as the time flies by i've lost interest in it... and it would do a lot better with a new owner, so i'm going to sell it..

    the site receives quite some traffic from search engines(mostly google)..
    here's the summary:

    Domain:
    http://www.cuddlycats.net (pr 4, quite some pr3 inner pages, registered at domainsite.com, half a year remaining)

    traffic stats & refferer:
    statcounter stats, is not used on all pages!(only on random.html/cutest cats/ and all the other pages with the same template)

    Monthly from TLA (2 ad spots sold, 4 more avalaible)
    however, i don't know if its possible to push it to your account or something equal

    Advertising done for this site:
    i traded some links for a few myspace bulitins, but those didn't get much visits, and i did it on trafficboost.me.uk , i did not spend any money on advertising!

    Payment
    This is my first time that i'm selling a site... so i'd want the buyer to have at least 7 itraders!(or have a decent rep at wickedfire.com)... i'd seriously freak out and do stupid stuff if i get scammed...

    Payment via paypal..

    starting bid: $150,-
    bin: Not set yet...
    bid incr. $10+

    i reserve the rights to cancel this auction if the price is not right or if i change my mind..

    pm me or post here if you have any questions:)

    [edit] i think i'll end this in 2 days[/edit]

    Just make shure that the buyer pays you before you give him/her anything.

    In that case, since his BIN is no longer valid as per pig2cat, I will take it. Sold for BIN, from honey :)
