AnimalCrossingWildWorld.com OVT 203 w/ext and 28k posts

Well I love gaming names and I bought this and developed it just in time for the game launch. For those unaware this game is a Nintendo DS game. The actual game name is "Animal Crossing Wild World" and it is a Nitendo first party game. It's the second in a series. The first was for the Nintendo Gamecube. I launched the site with about 20 pages first week of December. It did fairly well. On Decemeber 18th I launched the forums. Immediately the site took off.

The front end is php includes and uses also CuteNews which is a free CMS which does NOT require mysql database. The forums is PunBB which is excellent. I made some great forum modifications to make it SEO friendly. The forums are very streamlined when a guest (search engine) is viewing them. The URLs are limited to prevent duplicates. I added a PM system, RSS (http://www.animalcrossingwildworld.com/forums/rss.php), sitemap (http://www.animalcrossingwildworld.com/forums/sitemap.php) has been submitted to google.

So far 18 pages are indexed at google but I expect the forums soon to start showing in results. MSN has 138 pages and yahoo has 17. Predicted pagerank is 4 from pagerank.info (my site) but check other predictors. I have linked this up pretty well it might even be PR5.

OVT with extension is 203! I bet it will be even higher next update.

Traffic is phenominal! http://www.animalcrossingwildworld.com/webstat
On the weekends traffic spikes very well and keeps growing.

Amazon sales rank #1

This is a BIG BIG game for the DS. It can be played wifi over the internet and people can join in to each others towns. Being this game is still a #1 seller there will be new people logging into the site for a long time. People need to share their friend codes in order to play on the web and often they share the codes on ACWW.

Forums already has 776+ members and about 28,000 posts. One of the forum mods I added was inline google adsense which has done pretty well. The forums has 2 moderators but there are many applying to be mods.

I made over $100 via adsense so far but it continues to be strong and grow well. My last weekend was the best so far.

I have also made some revenue via the amazon affiliate link. About $30 since site launch. There are a lot of clicks but the site members are too young imho to really be making a lot of purchases.

This is a quick check to see how interested buying parties will be. I am not too hot on selling but if the offer is good then it's sold. If you analyze the traffic and check the google ad impressions it should be obvious this sites potential.

I spend about 15 minutes a day checking the forums for spam and inappropriate material for the younger audience. There is a report post feature and it makes it very fast and easy to check bad posts, delete or edit them and ban the user if needed. Members are very helpful in this regard. Be aware I have had no TM issues and have not gotten any communications from Nintendo. Normally on a fan site like this it's left alone.

Please post or PM your offers but don't bother with anything under $1500. I reserve the right not to sell unless my buy it now is met. I will place a buy it now later after I see responses. Feel free to ask any questions concerning the site.

Thank you.


EDIT: Forgot to mention that will all these post COOP and LV should be excellent once it gets fully indexed.

 

Traffic is still increasing! Had my best unique and page view day yesterday.

Thank you spdude for getting it started.

I urge you guys to take a peek at the site and it's traffic...H E A V Y. I also just added 2 new forums to help spread the posting around so it's more focused which normally brings in even more members.

labrocca, great looking site and wonderful job in getting that much traffic in so little time. Congrats, new owner.

 

***Sorry forthis being off topic...

Hey man...

You seem to have a good bit of money, and I was wondering... Do you think you could help me start my advertising campaign for www.bizlinked.com? I only got $600, and wanted alot more. I will pay you back greatly once this site gets running...

Pm me

 

I think you should have PMd him :X

 

Yeah... I realized that, but I guess i just wasnt thinking at the time. Oh well...

 

haha. get a job

 

Payment sent.

 

Transfer complete.

I just want to say that labrocca went out of his way to help with the transfer of this web site, which was fairly complicated as it included a forum.

He answered several PMs, always very promptly, and twice when I ran into problems he managed to come up with the solution.

You can buy from labrocca with confidence.

 

Yes..and you forget to mention I am a stud too.

Anyways not a problem and the only reason we did have a bump was because this was my first time transferring a punbb forums. I forgot that it caches files including it's config settings.

Good luck with the site..all the way up till day of transfer it made me good money. Please make sure to give it 15 minutes a day if you want it to flourish.

 

I don't think I want to know whether or not you're a stud ;-)

 

yeah what a great job he did, you know never coming on, never updating it, stoped paying for it, what an awsome job!
