Happy Bidding, Friends

 

Minimum bid and auction time length reduced...there were errors previously.

Start bidding @ $250, increments $25 minimum.

 

Can the site be moved to buyer's hosting account?

Do you have a BIN?

 

$250 from me

 

Thanks for the bids...

Site moving is not an issue...I can do it happily for you.

Still can't think of a particular BIN, but I'm looking for mid $xxx

 

Current highest bid is $250 from ilogak, reserve not met.

 

$300 bid received via PM.

Where are the 'real' people? So few bids...

 

Please get some more detailed income figures from the owner, I think its a little unclear at the moment.

In the last 12 months it has made $510?

How many paid submissions have there been in the last 3 months?

Thanks

 

When can the footer links be removed? Country breakdown of traffic? Which traffic director used?

 

I can up my bid but I need to see the revenue stats

 

Auction extended till some acceptable bid is reached.
I'll be answering the questions shortly.

 

I need monthly revenue breakdown

 

By selling sitewide link you can get minimum $600 per year.

Proof is here: Link sold

Minimum monthly rev = $50

Footer links will be expired at 13th Nov 2007.

This is Shabu Anower, owner of phpLD network.

phpLD network is a free niche directory, for phpLD based directory listing. We did not charged for listing but we get some amount by selling featured listing. In first post we have mentioned about rev.

Also before we did not sold any sitewide link, I knew that I can get some bucks from sitewide link but I did not

Recently I have sold sitewide link for 6 month at DP, by selling sitewide link you can get minimum $600 per year.

Also if you wish to take payment for regular lsiting that is your choice and I think you can make more!

Btw, I never used google ads on my site and no idea about google revenue. If you take this site as free then you may add google ads there for make some extra.

Reason for selling: I own izeel network, I am getting bz on my other sites and design works. I don't have enough time to reveiw pending sites but I don't like to charge for listing.

I think anybody can run this site better than me!

Happy Bidding

 

$350 from me

 

A few more questions

- How long has it been a PR5 domain?

- Do you have any recurring costs each month for back links or advertising?

- How many of your other sites link to phpldnetwork.com, will these links remain?

 

phpLD network got PR0 to PR5 in first page rank update. We have passed few update and still PR5.

No, I don't have any paid advertising for this site. We only submit in free directory, everyday.

phpLD network has been linked with my 2 directories detail pages, link will be removed.

I can consider to keep links in my directory detail pages, but link will be removed after next PageRank update for sure

 

Any more questions?

Come on...this site is worth more than the current highest bid of $350 from ilogak...pour in your bids!

 

Can you pm me your expected BIN price?

 

If you give me your bin price that would be good.

 

PMs sent...lets see how it goes
