    Greetings,

    Website info:
    I am selling www.smsup.net which is a website that allows users to send free sms messages for free. In the past it used to be without any login forms but because of the repeated abuse, we had to implement a login system. The admin of the website can set how many free sms messages are allowed per day.

    Domain:
    The domain is registered @ namecheap.com and it can be pushed for free to the buyer.

    About the script:
    The script was custom made. The script uses clickatell's.com gateway to send the messages. The SMS credits are not free. They are purchased from clickatell.com.

    Website traffic:
    You can check the traffic here: http://extremetracking.com/open?login=smsup. As you see, the website had very little traffic in Sept/Oct. That is because I had some server problems. I've done the best SEO I could. I've also done a lot of advertising in the past. It used to be on the first page on google for "free sms worldwide". Now it's on page 2.

    Revenue details:

    The website has made $26 so far this month and $53 last month. The revenue is low because I did not advertise lately. I can provide screenshots and everything if needed.

    The website has huge potential if someone takes care of it correctly.

    The price I am asking for this is $600. The buyer can pay through PayPal. If anyone is interested, let me know.

    Thanks!

    You earned $26 this month so far and last month $53 which means your earnings is decreasing right? Your CPC must be $0.01. I understand the frustration but selling it for $600 is not right. I would have bought it for $200 instead.

    There is no frustration. I won't die if I won't sell it. :) I know this site can make good money if someone takes care of it. The script cost me $200 so I don't think I am asking that much.

    Also, the domain is @ godaddy, not namecheap. I was tired yesterday when I wrote the post :)

    Here are is the price (credits) per SMS for each country. https://www.clickatell.com/pricing/message_cost.php#resulttag.

    For 1000 credits you would pay $55. I just calculated. Many countries/networks cost 0.8 credits for a SMS message. You can disable SMS sending for countries where the price is too high. For example, I disabled countries/networks that cost 3 credits/per SMS.

    How you make that you earn more from ads than spending for SMSs at clickatel?
    What is the guarantee that your balance will be positive on the end of the month?

    That's exactly what I was thinking. It looks like all money earned by AdSense will be spent for purchasing credits... Maybe I'm wrong.
