    Hey everyone,

    I'm looking to sell this site, hope some of you find some interest in it.

    http://www.viewprivateprofiles.com

    Background: This site was initially intended to allow people to view the pictures on private myspace accounts, however the site no longer works properly, but currently is making more money now from AdSense than it was in the past. Read on for more details.

    Revenue: All of the revenue from this site comes from AdSense Referrals. AdSense was added on the 5th of April to this site, and I currently make about $22/day, but it fluctuates a little higher & lower.
    [​IMG]

    Traffic: Nearly all of the traffic for this site comes from Google. It ranks #2 for "view private profiles" as well as other similar keywords. It brings in about 230+ unique visitors a day. There have been more than 61,000 searches made on the site. You can view all of the statistics here: http://www.viewprivateprofiles.com/awstats.php
    [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Starting Bid:$500
    BIN:$4500

    I accept Paypal (as long as you cover fees).

    "Background: This site was initially intended to allow people to view the pictures on private myspace accounts, however the site no longer works properly, but currently is making more money now from AdSense than it was in the past. Read on for more details."

    I entered in the code from the image, and it brought up some pics. Are those fake...or what's the story?

    Well when I created the site I implemented a caching system that stored any information from searches that users make in case something like this happened, so that's probably coming into play when you search for that. Keep in mind MySpace patched their "error" nearly 2 months ago :)

    Also, I'd like to point out that special attention was paid towards AdSense's Referral Program, and that we are completely within their guidelines.

    It makes money and has steady traffic, so I feel the price is justified. If you are concerned, there certainly are other exploits floating around the web to achieve the purpose of the site. I am open to any BIN offers however.

    I'm a programmer myself, I just don't have the time to search sites for exploits, which is why I'd like to sell this site. The website doesn't need to run in order to make money.

    I'm not seeing the placement of your adsense ads. Have they been removed?

    If it's so easy to find exploits floating around the web.... why does it "eat up your time"?

    I mean, if a site is steadily earning with steady traffic... why sell? It's counterintuitive to sell a part of your portfolio that earns which requires little work unless there's something you know that you're not disclosing...

    Maybe I'm just being paranoid.

    The domain is 4 months old, not even on the top 10 of google on all of my machines (though tools are reading it as, so it may have been bumped out), has a PR of 0 and has an alexa rank of 1,452,998

    Yeah - my bid is 4400 less than your BIN & I'm sticking with it.

    What are you going on about? I posted the statistics on the first post, and my price is my price.
