Description:

Ok so im selling my baby. Paintballalliance.com has been active since March 2006. Paintball is one of the fastest growing sports out there. The industry is huge and kids are getting into the sport all the time. More fields and stores are opening up everywhere. I love the sport and the site, but have no time to truly push this site to what it can be. With working 9-5, new house, family there is no time to keep active on the site. Since its beginning I was very active on the site and I really feel that being active and responsive to members questions is what help the sites success. Its like a small family, especially with the active everday users. I will surely miss the site, but I hope to sell it to someone who is going to continue to grow it and someone who hopefully enjoys the sport of paintball.

Site Specs

The site runs off of phpfox version 1.1
Has a fully integrated vbulletin forum.
Has phplink diretory running.
Has a paintball pixel directory which you could monetize if you wanted too.
Also has an advertising script as well. Adpeeps is what i use and its great!
There are also a lot of mods I have done in the script.

Also included with this site is my Paintball ALliance mypsace account. http://www.myspace.com/paintballalliance
Has 9,775 friends. Its a great way to get some traffic and to get some help with promoting events, ideas etc.


I will help the new owner with the site in the beginning as much as possible to get them going. I can host it for awhile as well until they get their own hosting.

If you are interested please ask questions here or PM me. Id love to discuss the site with you.

Enjoy!!

Revenue Details:

Income - I only started using channels on adsense this year. So far the site has made $120 on adsense. The top adspot had been dedicated to pbcost.com up until last week. It was another site we were promoting. So really that top spot had been dedicated to that. I just threw adsense in the rotation and it has been doing ok. I also put adsense in the forums a few months ago. In 06 i did a few advert campaigns and had a few paying advertisers at $50 a month which wasn't bad. I have some mailing lists of stores that you can use to get the word out about the site as well.
I think with the right marketing, you could do well with the site. With fresh ideas and fresh energy you could get this site rocking.
Traffic Details:

Traffic comes from all over. We have a nice amount of returning active users who really take part in the site and make it what it is. You see this in the shout box lol. Some good times in there. ha!
Myspace also brings in a lot of traffic. Ill show the new owner where they can advertise and bring in more traffic as well.

 

$50 to start it off.

 

60.00 from me.

 

$80 from me.

 

Also forgot to mention we had a write up in Paintball Sports Magazine which is an awesome magazine. I do advertise with them occasionaly. I will put the new owner in touch with the sales lady and the editor in chief of the magazine to see if we can get another write up.
