    I don't have time to maintain this site anymore...

    www.HeavyMetalScene.com

    It has a Google pagerank of 4.

    There are:
    - 88 Members
    - 194 Threads
    - 1640 Posts

    - 128 backlinks in Google
    - 128 backlinks in Hotbot
    - 710 backlinks in MSN
    - 1860 backlinks in Yahoo

    - 16,800 pages in Google
    - 458 pages in MSN
    - 441 pages in Yahoo

    Depending on which Google datacenter you look at, the number of indexed pages can be as low as 2 and as high as 4 million.

    It was registered at DirectI on April 3rd 2006 and expires on April 3rd 2007.

    Stats are here:
    http://www.heavymetalscene.com/images/stats1.jpg
    http://www.heavymetalscene.com/images/stats2.jpg
    http://www.heavymetalscene.com/images/stats3.jpg

    There are 2 paid links in the footer, they bring in $5 each per month.

    Adsense stats are here:
    http://www.heavymetalscene.com/images/julyadsense.jpg
    http://www.heavymetalscene.com/images/augustadsense.jpg

    The design is custom and unique, that is included. There is also a 468x60 banner that looks the same as the header that will be included.

    The vBulletin license is leased and will not be included.

    There is a phpLD directory attached to the site as well, there are 62 active links in 35 categories. Only music related sites are included in that directory, hence the low numbers.

    Keyword rankings:
    "heavy metal" - #19 on Yahoo, #21 on MSN
    "heavy metal scene" - #1 on Yahoo, #1 on MSN, #37 on Google
    "1980s metal" - #2 on Yahoo
    "heavy metal forum" - #2 on Yahoo, #7 on MSN

    Bidding starts at $100, increments of $10. This will end at 9 PM EST on September 6th.

    The data center where my server is hosted screwed me two nights ago, they changed the primary IP address of the server (per my request) but didn't update the cPanel license... so all of the sites on my server were down for close to 18 hours while they sorted it out.

    But the site is back up, sorry for the problems.

    Here's referrer stats for August: http://www.heavymetalscene.com/images/stats4.gif

    I've received an offer via PM that I couldn't refuse, so a sale is pending.

    I've seen that skin before and I'm pretty sure that copyright for it has too stay intact.

    I checked with the guy who put the skin together for me, it's based on a style called "fB_Dark", and he had left the original copyright in the footer but I screwed up the display of it when I added some links to it. I've repaired the original skin author's link.

    @SiCK - yes, this was an auction, but I received an offer via PM that I thought was high enough to warrant ending the auction early. I don't want to post the offer without checking with the bidder first, if he's ok with it then I'll post what he offered.
