FS: 1.5 year old PR3 joke site. Content/script/domain

Discussion in 'Sites' started by ServerUnion, Jun 8, 2006.

  1. #1
    FOR SALE: www.bustagut.us
    Age of domain: 1.5 years (renewed in January, free push to eNom)
    PR: 3
    Indexed pages in Google: 352 http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.bustagut.us
    Backlinks in MSN: 82 http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=link:http://www.bustagut.us/+-site:www.bustagut.us
    Traffic: limited maybe around 20 a day
    Payment: PayPal
    Bid starts at: $50
    BIN: $300
    END: Tuesday June 13 4:00pm CST

    Reason for selling: Trying to get some cash together to upgrade my music equipment. As my band is starting to play with larger bands, gets embarrassing using broken/old equipment.

    Notes: The age and the indexing of this domain are well worth the price. With a little SEO work and linking from some other members’ joke sites, this site would be a great traffic generator. The site is already preloaded with a ton of jokes and has a CMS that will allow you to add/update jokes as needed. A footer file has been added to all pages which will allow you to quickly update the pages if you wish to run an ad network on the site.

    Feel free to post any questions. Please post bids within the thread.

    Thanks

    More questions...

    Q: Do the links on the site need to stay?
    A: No, there are no link sales on the site, you are not responsible for any external linking.

    Q: Where are the links comming from?
    A: I have about 50 links coming from www link-vault com, none from the coop. These not included. The other links are natural links.

    Q: How stable is the PR?
    A: It has been at PR3 a long time. I would say I hit PR3 the PR update after I got the domain 1.5 years ago.

    I would think adding content to the site and gaining more linking partners would bring in more traffic.

    Like the site, but it seems a bit buggy whats the cms you are using ?

    got the following error when loggin in without a username/password:

    "Warning: Unknown(): Your script possibly relies on a session side-effect which existed until PHP 4.2.3. Please be advised that the session extension does not consider global variables as a source of data, unless register_globals is enabled. You can disable this functionality and this warning by setting session.bug_compat_42 or session.bug_compat_warn to off, respectively. in Unknown on line 0"

    Hope i didnt bust bustagut !
    :eek:

    No problem, thanks for the update aicoma.

    Logins now are working. Since I didn't plan on monitoring the site I restricted access to the admin and user portions serverside. I have now opened it up and verified that the login function is operating.
