Image Host - Great URL - Already Established - High Traffic / Low BIN!

1. URL / Basic Site Information:

I'm aware some people don't like having the URL on these forums as it can mess up their Google page rank and search results at a later date. The URL is in the picture below;



The site has been up and running for over 6 months and now has a dedicated user base.


2. How does it work:

Basically the site is setup so that users can upload multiple files at a time (or just one), and after they are batch uploaded they are given link codes (BB Code for forums, HTML code for myspace etc...) Currently it is setup so that the thumbnails link back to the website, so even more ad impressions and clicks are garnered.


3. How it earns revenue:

Ads are placed on the main upload page, so each time a user visits this page and ad is displayed - ads are also placed on the viewer page; meaning that each time a thumbnail is clicked, users are shown the full size pictures and 2 ads (above and below the file).


4. Traffic & Referral Statistics:

3 Month report (usage has rapidly increased from month-to-month, May looks to be the biggest month since I started): http://imagepow.com/files/ddrwwoonnztmhlylzmen.jpg

Forum/Other Referrals: http://imagepow.com/files/mzgfjojmimywyzfnwgtn.jpg http://imagepow.com/files/yt0knjkowytymi0awm5m.jpg

General statistics and usage summary for the last 3 months: http://imagepow.com/files/ygdmytgtnz3nmzjmdhoh.jpg

The site is now using roughly 1gb of bandwidth per day. Storage isn't much of a problem as images can be cleared out as you reach your storage threshold


Revenue Statistics:

Lately I've been slacking when it comes to optimizing the site for maximum earnings, however even solely using AdBrite, the site generates roughly $1 a day.

Other ad program such as Chitika were earning up to $20 per day at the peak of my marketing efforts: http://imagepow.com/files/duz2xmzmnywlivmvzzmn.jpg

AdEngage earned roughly $50 over a fortnight of using their services:

where it is hosted? What is the disk space consumed and approximately how much bandwidth used per month?

 

Currently hosted at surpass

Uses ~1gb per day of b/width

1gb-3gb of storage used per month; I've been clearing it out at the end of each month without any problems

 

So how much is this site making per month? How much has it made in the last 3 months?

 

BIN offer, site is sold pending payment.

 

Site is still for sale, offer appears to have fallen through

 

$45-60 per month, just shy of $300 over the last 3 months

 

Are you interested in trading? I have a new arcade and directory

 

Not particularly, PM the details and I'll have a look anyway

You could always bid the reserve ammount

 

What made you decide on a BIN of 250 when the site made 300$ in last 3 months?

 

Clearing my inventory before I take a trip overseas

I will be within emails reach though

 

Is it a custom script? Any restrictions on placing adsense on the site?

 

I'll start the auction with a $50 bid.

 

It's a free script that I've customised to my liking (was open source - no restrictions on alterations)

Adsense can be placed anywhere throughout the site

 

Why did you stop using adengage and Chitika if they were making more then adbrite? Can you move to our server with purchase?

 

I run a network of sites and prefer to use one ad system for the whole network. They performed well for this site, but not nearly as well on the others.

Yep, I'd be happy to help you set it all up on your server.

 

I will go $70
Can i see the traffic break down by country?

 

I'll have to have a play around with my stats program to see if I can do that

 

I am getting a fake pagerank on different sites.

http://www.rankalert.net/fake-pagerank.php?url=www.ImagePow.com

http://www.textlinkadvisor.com/tools/check-fake-page-rank.php

http://www.imagepow.com does not match Google's record of the URL. Reasons for this maybe a few reasons including, the URL is fake or the URL has been redirected
Xenyo has verified 222 Page Rank 3 upto date.


and only 5 backlinks. could you please explain.

Not trying to screwup sale but would like to know before I bid
