    Ok. So here's the deal. I have put these sites up a few times over the past few months and have not had a sale yet. Now I really need to sell them to pay some bills, so starting bid for the sites is $700 which is 1 months profit. The sites earn money from renting out ad space where the ad space buyer places the Coop Network ads (which is NOT against TOS). This has been going on for 5 months now and below you will find a screenshot of POI (proof of income) and I have no reason to believe that things will change. Revenue is steady and has been steady for quite some time now. Reserve has yet been set, but will do so soon. I need to make a sale ASAP and if you are really interested in the sites and think you want to buy them at BIN, please PM me you BIN offer.

    2 Websites | Avg. $700 - $800 / month PROFIT.
    Only an hour of work every few weeks.

    * URL: cheats-and-codes.net - www.song-book.info
    * Established: 1 Nov 2006
    * Uniques/Month: 3,000
    * Page views/month: 7,000
    * Monthly Revenue: $700+
    * PageRank: 3
    * Listed: 18 Jul 2007

    Description:

    Website #1
    ----------

    URL: Cheats-and-Codes.net

    Subdomains:
    Ps2.Cheats-and-Codes.net
    Ps3.Cheats-and-Codes.net
    PSP.Cheats-and-Codes.net
    XBox.Cheats-and-Codes.net
    XBox360.Cheats-and-Codes.net
    GameCube.Cheats-and-Codes.net
    Nintendo-Wii.Cheats-and-Codes.net

    All have keyword rich domain names.

    Traffic is somewhat dismal as I have not exchanged any links nor have I promoted the sites in any way as I have not had much time to do so. Just a little promotion and few link exchanges will bring the site a long ways.

    Revenue: Haven't really exploited it as of yet, but makes on average (past 4 months) $350 / month through selling ad space and makes a few dollars via AdSense.

    Cheats are added automatically through an admin backend and only takes a few minutes every couple of weeks.

    I really have not promoted them all that much nor done link trades, but in the past I have had a few cheat codes websites and have done so and averaged $600-$700 / month with AdSense alone.

    This is a great opportunity to acquire a young keyword enriched domain with great content and easily manageable with little time.

    Winner receives Domain, Content, DB, WebDesign + help to set it up and get it running.

    =================
    Website #2
    ----------

    URL: www.song-book.info
    Indexed Pages: 132,000
    Age of Site: 02 / 07
    PR: 2
    Predicted PR: 4

    I bought this site 3 months ago for the number of indexed pages it contained (back then was 50,000) now it has over 130,000 and fluctuates at times upwards of 166,000 pages indexed. This website was and still is being used strictly for SEO purposes.

    I run the Coop on this site and weight with a PR2 fluctuates between 17k and 20k, with a PR4 it would be upwards of 30k+.

    I'm looking for a possible sale. Obviously for those running the Coop you know the value of weight and how it can help your websites with that said I will let the bidding start at the price I purchased the site for 3 months ago.


    ==================================

    If you wish to only purchase one website PM me your offer. Only serious offers will be accepted for 1 website (which would be 40%+ of the BIN for both websites).

    Revenue Details:

    AdSense and the selling of ad-space to place the Coop Network (main source of revenue).

    [​IMG]


    As you can see the site averages about $700 / month.

    I'm thinking reserve will be just over 5 months revenue which is a steal as websites usually go for 10 -12 months revenue (the norm.).

    Any questions feel free to ask. I'm looking for a quick sale, so all offers over $3,600 will be considered as a BIN.

    I hope that this time I will attract real potential buyers instead of people just wanting to learn more on how they can earn easy income such as this.

    "so starting bid for the sites is $700 which is 1 months profit."

    But you then say

    "reserve will be just over 5 months revenue"


    Whats the point in a lower starting bid then your reserve?

    I set staring bid at $700 to get things rolling. Hopefully get 2 or 3 quick bids in.

    I said I was thinking of setting the reserve at 5 months profit, but I am not sure of that yet and I just want to see how the bidding goes as I really wouldn't want to let these sites go for much less than that. It's a steal as is, so any less than that would not be right for me.

    All offers over 5 months revenue will be considered for as a BIN offer as well as I am looking for a quick sale.

    I hope that cleared things up rhys_davies.

    Thanks.

    Please note that there WILL be a reserve set. It may not be the $3,500 it most likely will be lower, but for those of you interested there will be a reserve.

    Current high bidder is rhys_davies.

    @eshkolit: Over the past 4 months the sites have made $79 through AdSense. As I said through the first post traffic is minimal.

    Khaleel is the new high bid.

    Here's the AdSense screenshot. As I said it is minimal. Almost all of the income comes from renting out the ad-space where Coop Network is placed.

    Thanks.

    Just edited it.

    High bid is still $800. Just over 24 hrs left then all bidders will be notified of the reserve and we'll see if a sale is completed.

    www.song-book.info: I don't see the adsense blocks on the site. Have you removed them for the auction? Also, the search is not working on it. Would you be able to fix that? I like the song-book site a lot and interested in placing bid, but kind of caution before i do so. Thanks!

    I don't have AdSense block on it.

    I can fix the search function.

    If you want to place a bid please do so ASAP as auction ends today.
    (Note the 168,000 pages indexed)

    It's amazing how people wish to get things for nothing. This site has constantly earned for me for the past 5 months a steady income, I have posted proof of that.

    VERY minimum work is involved with the upkeeping of the sites and it is for me at least 100% profit.

    If I did not need the money ASAP I would not be selling the sites at all, but since I do find myself in a bind I need to get rid of them. It just upsets me that people bid and expect me to be willing to offload the site for just over 1 months revenue which is ridiculous, because I prefer to stay in a bind then.

    Usually sites go for 10x monthly revenue. All I am looking for is just over half of that. I'm willing to part ways with both sites for $3,700. I do not think that this is too much to ask as I've earned almost that over the past 5 months with the websites.

    Today will be the last day that I have these up and if I do not get a sale, then so be it, because I am not going to let them go for $800 or $900.

    If you are interested please PM me with your bid. If it is not in the ballpark of the figure above then do not bother. Today, as said before, will be the last day.

    Thank You.

    Instead of going around in circles, can you give me an expected price for song-book?
