    This is a great set of sites that just need a little love!

    The main site is a World of Warcraft (tip/trick/hack) community site. The other three sites sell a digital product (the same product).

    You can find the main community site here -> w o w b o o t y b a y . c o m

    You can find the main product sales page here -> b o o t y b a y w o w . c o m

    Since I purchased this site in June, I have done nothing to the site to promote it or add to it. The only thing I have done is redesign the sales page and automate the e-product delivery last September.

    Of course, "milking" the site over the past few months has been nice, however I think the site needs someone to pay more attention to it. It needs more articles posted on a regular basis (and maybe even some writers recruited). I believe that it is currently under performing revenue wise. I will tell the buyer where articles can be found to be posted (remember a non-WoW person can run this site and make money!) At one time, the site was PageRank 2 and Alexa ranking was near 100k.

    The reason I originally was trying to sell it (buyer strung me along for 2 months), was because I building a new house and needed money for a down payment. Well the builder went bankrupt and that's a different story... My main motivation right now is that I am starting an evening MBA program which will absorb all my time and extra energy. (Note: I spend 1 hour max a week on this site...when 2-3 hours weekly is probably more appropriate.)

    You do not need to play WoW to run this site. In fact, this was one of the first sites I've ever purchased and I have never played WoW. Of course if WoW is your thing, then that's a huge bonus!

    Please let me know if you have questions. I will transfer all knowledge and information to the new owner.

    Please note: I worked in a location with very limited internet access, so I may be a little slow in responding to questions, but I will do my best to respond quickly.

    Ok, finally to the good part...Here is the revenue for the past 8 months:

    I only ran the awstats for Dec & Feb, which show the prior months. I'd be willing to run the other months if someone really wants to see them. Please note: Traffic drops from August to September...think...kids go back to school...traffic is a little cyclical!)
