BACKGROUND
I have owned this site for several years. Originally this site was used to sell a PHP script, I sold this script for 2 years. I then converted the site to a photo hosting site, and when myspace became popular, I targeted it towards the myspace crowd with myspace tools, layouts, etc.



This auction also includes 2 other domains that are tied to the brand/site:
ProVideoHost.com (also comes with license for the script it uses) and ProArcadeHost.com (which just points to ProVideoHost right now). The video script is hosted under /video and does contribute to our stats since their on the same shared hosting account.

DISCLAIMER
I can NOT guarantee site performance once you own it. I can NOT guarantee links that are currently linking will stay. Their are NO paid links, most links come form our users. I can NOT guarantee search engine traffic.

-----------------------

I think I covered it all, if you have any more questions, suggestions, comments, please do not hesitate to ask.

EDIT:

- I did pay for 1 blog post about site a few months ago
- recently paid for site to be added to 70+ directories of PR4

 

How much advertising do you do for the site? If any how much does it cost per month?

 

I currently do not do any paid advertising.

I have run one $25 Adwords campaign from a free voucher I had received a few months ago which is the extent of my advertising.

This site is purely viral, and gains new users via images being posted and people clicking the image which brings them back to my site.

 

I have recieved first bid of $500 via PM

 

I have recieved a BIN offer of 700 and have refused, I PM'ed back that I would take that as a bid, so $700 is high bid via PM unless he PM's me back saying he does not want it to be bid.

 

how many uniq/month
