    ArcadeDude.com is now for sale!

    My buddy and I have been working on this arcade for more than a year! We have put all of our skills into this site, so it is very hard to sell.

    This arcade is more than 24,000 lines of code and has 345 games!

    Every page on this site is custom designed and coded, along with every feature.

    You will never find another arcade list this, it has tons and tons of features.

    We can install the script onto your server if you have PHP 4+ (Exif/GD must be installed for avatars to work) and MySQL 4+ installed.

    Games can be added manually via the Admin Control Panel, or we can give you a custom made C# program (.exe; requires .NET Framework to run) to add Invision PowerBoard Games that are TAR compressed and contain a config.php file and two thumbnails.

    The relevancy of the ads on our site is terrible. I'm sure it would do a bit better with a different advertisement program. We just haven't had the time to tinker with the site.

    What are the legal implications of owning a site like this? What country do you live in?

    Do you have any kind of breakdown for traffic by country? I just want to make sure that the majority of your traffic is coming from the US, since the site relies on YPN for income which is supposed to be shown to only US traffic. Any chance you would be willing to integrate some code that would display YPN to US traffic and Adsense to all others to be sure it stays in compliance? I have some example code I can provide.

    Thanks

    Offers can start at $1,000.

    I do believe that most of the traffic is from the U.S.

    Are any of the games on the site exclusive to your site?

    If not, where did you get them?

    I might very well be interested in another arcade. When does the auction end?

    Any BIN in mind?

    Wow, ~70% of traffic comes from Myspace profiles and a site called www.myspaceswell.com . Do you own www.myspaceswell.com, and what do you do in terms of Myspace advertising? BTW, it's interesting to see your hits by hours... classic Myspace distribution

    Where exactly on the myspaceswell.com site is the traffic to arcadedude coming from?

    I see you own myspaceswell.com, will the traffic source be removed after the sale?

    Since you have chosen to ignore both my bid and my PM my bid is withdrawn. So bidding is back to $0.

    I also see issue with the traffic apparently coming from those sources yet your claim is that the site is doing all this with no advertising.

    If you'd like to discuss the sale you can respond to my PM.

    - George

    I may still be interested, but can you pm me with the details I asked about in the previous post:

    Are any of the games on the site exclusive to your site?

    If not, where did you get them?

    I might very well be interested in another arcade. When does the auction end?

    Any BIN in mind?

    Well actually, most traffic (by percent) comes from Myspace profiles. That's what I'm mainly interested in. His other site link is cut and dry: no link, no traffic, so you can kiss that traffic goodbye. But maybe the Myspace traffic can be continued, if it doesn't involve mass spamming (which I would bet probably does)

    I'll assume site has no traffic since you haven't responded.
