    Hello all,

    Sadly, I am having to sell my beautiful web directory. I simply require money elsewhere at the moment in my efforts to buy a car (I passed my driving test Tuesday :))

    A Little Background Information...
    1StopDir has been online since March 2006 which makes the website near enough 1 year old. There has been an incredible 1921 links submitted to the directory in that time. Running of the site takes little time, you simply approve/disapprove submitted links. The directory does get a bit of spam links submitted, they take a few minutes to delete. You can also ban IP's and domains via the banning tool.

    The Domain
    The domain is very nice in my opinion and many people have commented on how nice it sounds.

    • Registered at GoDaddy - Free push to your account.
    • Doesn't expire until 2008-03-19 - a whole year remaining.
    The Software License
    The site uses PhpLinkDirectory. 1StopDir uses the top $75 license which gives you eternal usage of the license with no link back required. The license is included - the login details will be given to the auction winner.

    The Skin
    The eye-catching, and quite beautiful skin, was made by Anthony Bullock of MicroVisuals. I purchased it through another individual however, for $235. The theme is completely unique and coded in valid XHTML.

    Revenue
    I will, of course, be honest here. There is no consistent revenue being made by the site. In the past year I have sold 42 featured links ($5/each) and 8 text links in the footer of the directory at $25/each.

    • $410 for the year.
    • Around $34/month.
    As you can see, nothing to boast about. However, I believe everything is in place to make more, more traffic would lead to more featured links being sold and such. In the right hands, I do feel the revenue potential is high.

    Traffic Stats
    As with the revenue, not a lot to go on but this is with zero advertising .

    The Bidding!
    Bearing in mind the initial expense of the skin and license ($310), I'm starting this auction very low.

    Starting Price: $100
    Minimum Incremements: $10
    Bin: TBA...feel free to offer via PM.

    If I've missed anything obvious, feel free to ask. Happy bidding :)

    Thanks,
    Gareth.

    Site Sold!

    Just to let you all know 1StopDir has been sold. I apologise if you have missed out, but I had an offer too good to refuse via PM - it was offered as a BIN so I couldn't wait for other bids.

    Thank you to all those who bidded or expressed an interest, and good luck to the new lucky owner ;)
