Selling Arcade site with Brandable domain [PR2]

    I'm looking to sell my arcade site as I simply wish to concentrate on other sites I own. This arcade site requires no maintenance really, once its set up it can run itself with the occasional update of games (I add MochiAd games occasionally, which can also earn money for the site and this is basically a two click process and can add hundreds of games at a time).

    The URL is: http://ArcadeRocket.com

    The domain was registered on July 19th 2009 and has been renewed for another year, so expires July 19th 2011.

    Arcadem Pro (licensed not free version) is installed on the site and has over 3500 games. I will be providing FTP access to the winning bidder to transfer the games, or I can upload the games to your server myself for a fee. Alternatively, I can continue hosting the games with my host for $3 a month for as long as you need. A month's free hosting will be included anyway for whoever wins.

    The template on Arcade Rocket has been modified visually by myself and is therefore a unique template for the script, you wont see a similar skin on any other arcade site unless someone copied it from Arcade Rocket ;).

    The domain is registered with Name.com so a free push to anyone with an account there. Renewal date: 17-July-2011.

    Adsense has never been added so no earnings from it but, it could earn from Adsense.

    I have had revenue from the site from advertising spots though. In total i've made $175 through advertising spots/links (3x12 month links and 1x3 month link) which have all expired now. The 12 month links were on the site before it had Pagerank, so could be worth more now (the 3 month link price reflects this).

    I currently have a banner for my site on ArcadeRocket to show where the adspot would be for those interested, does not need to stay there after transfer. I was going to promote that spot again but, decided to sell the site instead. So that would be a way for the winner to make some money back on the site if that was used.


    Only advertising I've done is from a blogroll link on GirlGamers.co.uk and was in my sig here for a few months.

    The winning bidder was also get 6 months advertising on GirlGamers still for free.

    The starting bid is $10, with $5 increments. Please use the bidding system to enter bids for this site. I'm open to BIN offers, just send me a PM with your offers.

    I will accept Paypal or a UK bank transfer as forms of payment.

    Any questions please ask.

    I tried verifying ownership but, it just kept giving me errors :(. I've just uploaded this to the server it that helps? I can also provide a screenshot of it in my name account. - http://arcaderocket.com/mixedbag.png

    I hadn't really thought of a Buy it now price. I've sold a couple of arcades before and was happy with the offers/final price I got for them. Have just discussed a BIN price for it with my partner though, and we decided on a BIN of $150.

    Hi, I've just moved to a new host so can't provide details from before hand but, in the last 6 days of August, the site got 25 Unique Visitors, 36 Visits, 806 pages, 5586 hits and used 27.53MB bandwidth. The majority (752 pages) came from the UK, followed by the US (44) and Japan (4). Other countries followed with 2 and lower.
    92.3% of the traffic came direct, 4.1% from search engines and 3.4% from external webpages.

    This month, so far 87 Unique Visitors, 102 visits, 684 pages, 4474 hits and 47.92MB bandwidth. Again, the majority of traffic is from the UK (415 pages), followed by the US (77) and Canada (32).
    75.9% was direct traffic, 1.8% search engine, 21.4% from an external webpage (49 out of 55 from this thread).

    Overall stats:

    The auction ends September 15th, 4PM GMT time, says at the top of the listing, above the bidding when it ends. The buy it now is $150.

    I believe, Arcadem Pro, a single/standard license, currently costs $20. I have the premium license, which allows me to have up to 5 sites registered. I won't be transferring this with the site but, Arcade Rocket will always be fully licensed to run the Arcadem Script.
