[WTS] Image host, fast growing 5000+ UV/day, discounted hosting offered

Discussion in 'Sites' started by diligenthost, Apr 2, 2009.

    Domain: IMGserve [dot] net
    Barely advertised, lots of potential
    Images hosted: 22,993
    Space used: 2124.67 Meg
    Bandwidth during March: 148.78 Gig

    On 30th of March, I added a mod_rewrite to the site, so that all calls to "imagename.jpg|gif|png" were redirected to the viewer section, so that any ads added would be seen to viewers who pass by, like this for example: http://www.imgserve.net/images/d1df5ioyetfrz2uhbuic.gif

    Stats for April 2nd aren't completed, because Awstats runs at 9-10AM and only show up completed at that time.

    Site does have adult images, most of which non-nude I think, don't know how many as I've barely monitored this site so some work will probably have to be done there. There are plenty of non-adult images also.

    No advertising has been done for, or on this site so I don't know revenue return. Just a simple post on freeWHT and that's all I've advertised this site on. I just slapped one of our banners on the site a few days ago.

    I can offer to host the site on our servers, 50% off prices from link in my sig, I would move the site into it's own account. I will help transfer the site to another host if wanted.

    Starting bid: $20
    Minimum bid increments: $5
    BIN: TBD in 24 hours
    Auction end: Monday, 6th April, OR 24 hours after last bid

    Yes, that would be interesting to know. Traffic increased by 900% however bandwidth decreased by 85%

    Did you purchase traffic?

    Never purchased traffic, I think purchasing traffic is lame and like I said I barely monitored the site. And I already stated why it increased, read the thread folks:

    Notice the link above sends you to http://www.imgserve.net/viewer.php?file=d1df5ioyetfrz2uhbuic.gif instead of the actual file?

    The bandwidth decrease has to do with people hotlinking the direct links to the actual images, instead of the thumbnails like this: http://www.imgserve.net/images/sdqby2ab5pr47mn0x3j3_thumb.gif, once I added the mod_rewrite rules, you can hotlink thumbs but not the images themselves. Now you can only view the actual image file if you were referred by the domain IMGserve [dot] net, so people have to go through the site instead.

    You can see the results from the above images for the stats, you can have thumbs there, and once you click them, it brings you to the viewer.php file then you can click the image to get the full size. A thumb vs. full size is a big file size difference, and that would be where I saved bandwidth.
