    Hello,

The Site owner some of you may know "Darren" aka "CougarXS" he is currently banned for bumping his thread you may confirm this with admin / mods if you wish. I have been instructed to take care of this sale on a professional level, while it is a gaming site i am only looking for business mined people for the sale,

    Site:
    CallofDuty5.TV
    Code (markup):
    Traffic:
    [​IMG]

    Revenue:

    Note the amount of clicks.. they have not been forced, they are genuinly interested people who are looking to order the game.

    Please also note, The game was only released today & many people have not yet been charged, Predicted commissions anywhere between $1000 - $5000 possible more. currently 28,000 referrals sent to gamestop roughly 700 per day, these visitors are in no way being forced to click "ORDER YOUR COPY NOW" again by the weeks end we should know exactly how many sales / commissions have been made. Sales are just starting to pop up from orders placed last month. Stats will be updated ASAP ..

    Expected sales are to be atleast 1000 copies of the game sold = min $3000

    Extra Site Info:

    Final instructions from my client:

    Site will be sold through sitepoint unless it can be proved that the buyer is not a risk / scammer.

    Edit: I also needed to mention the links in the Blog Roll have generated $300- and these are for a few 3,6 month and a 1 year link. These links are to stay and will be included in the sale, The links are sending out great traffic so keeping paying links in the blog roll will wont be a problem.

    Hosting costs, Running on a basic shared hosting account the bandwidth is getting to close for confort with all the traffic and will be upgraded to support more traffic. $10-$15 a month in hosting costs.

    Than you for confirming traffic stats, But Traffic Stats are 100% correct !


    Many keywords:(Too many to list, all Potential Buyers will be granted access to stats.)

    call of duty 5
    call of duty world at war
    call of duty world at war demo
    &
    order call of duty world at war
    pre order call of duty world at war

    My client has also future proofed this site for future patches, maps, servers Traffic will never be an issue.

    SE results Fluctuating at the moment but have been stable first page results for the last month (view chart above) also the weekend algorithm is very kind to my clients site, you can see certain spikes, they are mostly weekends.

    Ok i will check back later, Thank you

    [​IMG]

    As you can see another 32 orders have been processed, the bulk of the orders should pop up over the next week.

    [​IMG]

    Darren is looking for a quick smooth sale, So please look at this like an investment, He has other sites he wishes to give more attention to.

    Would anyone like to kick off the bidding ? or would you like to wait until the orders catch up ? PM or reply please, This auction will be run on Sitepoint as soon as i get some Final REV stats from Darren, But in the mean time some interest in this site would be a good start.

    Thanks, Again PM or Reply

    Hello all, thanks for your interest.

    "Price" no Reserve or BIN mentioned as of yet, waiting for stats to be updated, the affiliate system runs a few days behind, even yesterday 1000 clicks were recorded for the "Order Now" it can take up to a week to register, on the "buyers" credit card or payment method, so effectively stats are going to be running about 1 week behind depending on payment method. Hard to price without seeing exactly how much is being made. with huge traffic today tomorrows clicks may end up higher than 1000 so really is a waiting game.

    Please note: Serious offers only, not looking for the highest multiplier in the world, but based on current stats its looking like this site will be making about $2,000 a month at the least to start of with. again soon as final stats come through (enough to evaluate / predict earnings) this site will be listed on Sitepoint unless a offer comes through from here.

    If you are interested place your bids, because the serious bidders will be given exclusive access to more stats, Help will be provided to change the links over into the new owners name.

    As for the spike near the 27th (in picture above) the "Beta version" was released, and Darren had already planned ahead for this and was able to net a lot of the traffic. Even now you Google "call of duty world at war servers" Darren planned for that too and is reaping the traffic. No funny business here all legit hard work.

    This game was only released today, I spoke with Darren on the phone yesterday and he explained, he saw that there were 160,000 searches a month for call of duty 5 & call of duty world at war and hardly any competition at all so he started working on this project and as more and more interest grew the traffic grew.

    I can assure you all stats are correct ! (i couldn't blame anyone for thinking they are suss.. but lack of competition, a smart webmaster & hard work)

    This is every webmasters dream to have a site kick start off like this, you are more than welcome to run any tests, everything is 100% above board. Darren is also happy to pay for a site evaluation if need be. A contract will also be drawn up between the 2 parties to unsure both are happy, and no one is stuffed around.


    EDIT: Sorry i was meant to add this in the original post:

    Marketing sample: (Note the 80,000+ views this video received) HUGE interest in this game.

    Reserve has now been set: $5000-

    This is based on traffic and earnings. To date this site has made:

    $360 (adsense) min $10 a day
    $340 (link sales/Blog Roll) reoccuring every 3,6 months.
    $506 (Game Sales... stats are not fully updated as explained above)
    $80- affiliate links for (ConsoleSource " mod chip sales")

    [​IMG]

    there are almost 4000 search results landing on callofduty5.tv for the term order, buy, purchase now at $3 per copy sold this, Said to be the game of the year, a community that saw the old call of duty 4 sell 10 million copies, the site will still make money from sales in 9 months.

    Again soon as stats are updated i will post them for you, but as mentioned before it will be about 1 week before we have a real idea on just how much this is making.

    So please genuine buyers only please, Darren is not looking for a huge multiplier but is more or less looking for a quick sale, so can complete his other current projects. This is a good chance to invest, site is highly SEO as you can see, 17,000 uniques yesterday, today already 7k with 75% of the day to go.

    Forgive me if I'm wrong, but any affiliate conversions which are yet to be paid for will not affect the new buyer will they? You state that in the next few days you expect the comission to rise, but that will all be going to the current owner and does not reflect what kind of conversions the new buyer will see.

    A nice site and forum for sure, but I just wanted to confirm that the above is right.

    Some orders were placed months ago and will still be yet to show up under Darren's affiliate account, as the customers will not have been charged yet.

    Once the site is sold, and transfered into the new owners name, Any earnings from that sale date will be placed into their names, links will be swaped over firstly to ensure the new owners start seeing a return on their investment.

    The game was shipped yesterday.. credit cards will not see the "game transaction" until about one week later, this game was due out today in the usa and on the 14th in other parts of the world.

    For example if you purchased the site today, Darrens links will be removed and then be replaced with yours, In the mean time while awaiting approval from the GameStop affiliate (any sales listed after the callofduty5.tv sale date will be paid to the new owner)

    Any sales after callofduty5.tv is sold go to the new owner. With record traffic pouring in there are going to be plenty more sales, all that needs to be done is an article a day to keep the site performing the same.

    Hope i answered that ok, any questions reply or PM, i can put you in contact with Darren via msn if you are a serious buyer.


    EDIT: (adding more info)

    GameStops best selling product is call of duty 4 & still is even after almost 2 years old, the new "world at war" the game has been released across all platforms ps3,wii,xbox,pc,nintendo ds,ps2 this will be one of the highest selling games.

    over the next 24 hours, there will be roughly 50 direct searches for "Order call of duty world at war" (Google that callofduty5.TV is first !) now with 1000 clicks on "Order Now" links & growing each day you can clearly see the new owner is going to make a profit.

    Darren has many other projects on right now, and would like this sold ASAP so he can concentrate on his other sites, PM or REPLY if any questions (Prefer reply's so same questions dont get asked over and over)

    Thanks

    Ok this site is being listed on sitepoint tomorrow, unless a new offer comes through from a trusted DP member.

    Anyone interested in the sale should sign up for the LinkShare affiliate program !! So that there is no loss of income for the new owners.

    Website site hosting & also GameServers have also been included to the list of products / affiliates making this site money. (view the SitePoint listing once active for full details)

    Stats have not fully updated yet, again some countries wont be having the game shipped until the 14th thsi can take up to 7 days after that to record the transaction. Currently showing $600 in commissions = 182 sales from 30,000 referals so a lot more sales are expected !

    Google "Order Call of Duty World at War" or any other sale related words for this game you will see that my clients site "CallofDuty5.TV" is always in the top few results.

    Thanks to the people who have genuine interest in this site, and can see the potential, A full sale and profit plan will be drawn up for The Premium Listing on Sitepoint. Also remember full support will be given to the new owner even to the extent on some content work until the new owner gets the hang on it, but 1 article a day is all it will take to maintain you could even get away with 1 a week.

    Firstly "highest Current Bid please"

    I am juggling 4 interested people around at the moment, The first to use the "BUY IT NOW" links on the sitepoint listing will be the new owner, Its first in best dressed. 1 person has offered $4,500 fact of the matter is within 3 months not even the new owner will be making pure profit. The Price tag of $4,999 was set to sell, and not to play "will you sell it for" We have set a price for a reason, it is not negotiable.

    Traffic stats: (14th-15th Nov)

    Ok how do i bid ? i am not a member of the sitepoint so i assume i can not bid straight away.

    Im very interested in this. Please get back to me when you can thanks.

    Also on sitepoint people are asking to buy links on your site, will these me included in the sale ? i mean will the new owner be able to charge the people asking for links ? I noticed your site already made $500 in link sales, and with plenty of room left i think you should allow the new owner to manage new links so they get a return instantly.

    Please reply ASAP

    you can sign up at sitepoint and bid instantly i believe:

    http://marketplace.sitepoint.com/auctions/50896

    And you are right there is a lot of interested people wishing to buy links on this site, The links will be left for the new owners so that they get a return on thier invetment instantly. As links are sitewide you can charge a decent price, and as mentioned yes there is plenty of room. 15,000 people a day, many who do click the links in the blog roll & also the friends list.

    Good luck to all who are interested in this sale, please BID via the Sitepoint Auction or bid in this thread, Site is selling ASAP.
