Font site for sale...21k uniques in 4 days! HUGE!

    Site for sale: http://fawnt.com (PR3 predicted 5!)

    About
    In a nutshell, Fawnt is a spin-off of the word "font". The purpose of the site is to list beautiful fonts in speech bubbles that can be useful to designers, developers and anyone who seeks attractive typefaces. Fawnt is not like dafont because it does not harvest thousands of mediocre, random fonts, but rather collects some of the best and displays them in a easy to visualize way. The beautiful design and smooth scrolling functionality makes Fawnt a perfect font resource. Also, the # of clicks shows how many times each font was clicked! The site launched Nov 4th, and all of the fonts had below 100 clicks, now they all have way over 100 clicks!

    Popularity, sources, traffic, etc
    The following popular blogs and websites have mentioned Fawnt:
    CNET Webware
    WebAppers
    Geekissimo
    CSSMANIA
    Profy
    KillerStartups
    Flisterz
    Del.icio.us (saved, or bookmarked over 800 times!)
    Forty Something
    GenBeta
    MeandmyDrum
    Go2Web20.net (search for filelime)
    CSSCLIP
    DesignFloat
    Screenalicio.us
    Fawnt was chosen by many of these sites to be added after I submitted. Their has been nothing but good ratings and good comments on all.

    Fawnt launched officially November 4th. That day I submitted Fawnt to some blogs and galleries. Then next day a HUGE spike in traffic came in (11k uniques) and after this the site now averages 2-5k uniques daily! This is AMAZING for a site that launched November 4th! The stats for this month is up to 21k+

    Proof here


    Although my original plan was to keep the site clean and ad free, I added a small adsense strip at the bottom of the site which has brought in $5 so far.


    Reasons to buy
    -Pagerank 3
    -Fawnt is a GREAT spin-off name and web2.0 name. Easy to brand.
    -Beautiful design and functionality
    -Over 21k uniques in 4 days
    -Blogged and linked by a ton of sources
    -Easy to upload new fonts, people can suggest fonts
    -Little work needed to run the site
    -Tons of potential, hard to find a site of this quality for sale on forums!

    Misc questions
    Adding fonts to Fawnt is extremely simple. If and when you acquire the site to add a font you would download one from the web, save a small jpg of the text and upload it via a hidden form on Fawnt. All you would need to do is input the Name of the font, URL and browse your computer for the image. The script automatically ads the little "# of clicks" and rollover.

    I am selling this site to fund some other bigger projects I'd like to do.

    I give full credit to the font authors by linking right to the author site, not linking right to the font download link. (I suggest you do the same!)

    That being said, Fawnt has grown leaps in bounds in just 4 days. After getting blogged and tons of great comments, the site continues to grow with its glorious design and clean functionality. This is a GREAT site and this site is a dime a dozen!

    You would get the domain (fawnt.com) and all the associated files.
    Starting bid: $300
    BIN: $1500

    You can't always look at a site and say, that makes no money, and it can't. With some decent promotion, proper monetization, I'm sure the site could make a lot more.

    What an awesome idea for a site! :) It's unfortunately way out of my current budget, but I've bookmarked it for my personal use anyway!

    Good luck with the sale!

    Reserve was $700

    @ The emirates gallastico: the traffic is in the original post, and the pagerank is a 3 right now.

    Sensitiv has the BIN now. I have to go out for a portion of the day, will be back later. If anyone else would like to take over sensitivs BIN, then go ahead. If not, Sensitiv has it.
