This is where ALL the traffic comes from, the users click the ad's on racing index and come to betting insider, i presume a lot leave my clicking adsense and thats why i have such a huge CTR.

Description:
Betting Insider is a horse racing tips membership service. Users pay £10 a month and get a list of racing tips for that day, there is also a page on how yesterdays tips performed. Also included in the members area is a list of articles in PDF format. The tips are generated from an external site which calculates tips based on horses past experience. The script i made just goes to that site, grabs the data and displays it in the members area.
Heres some screens of the members area:

Im not going to pretend that this site is of very good quality because its not, i was trying to make some quick money but only spent 4 hours throwing this site up so thats probably why there are no members yet. If you took the time to re-do the site you could have yourself a very successful site with a lot of membership subscriptions.

The whole site is completely automated, when a user signs up and pays via paypal the IPN script will automatically add 1 month onto the persons account. If they dont continue the subscription the accounts automatically run out. Every time the subscription is paid for the next month another month's access is added onto the users account.

All content on this site is freely available throughout the internet and has no copyright issues, your just condensing it in once place. You'd be amazed how many people are willing to pay a membership for some information rather than just look for it themselves, this is meant to take advantage of that.

I am selling this site for 2 reasons.
1: I dont know anything about horse racing and am not really interested in it either.
2: Another opportunity has just presented itself and im going to be offloading a few sites to invest the money into the new project.

If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask. Payment via paypal only.

Price (or starting bid): $50

Is an auction?: Yes

BIN: $200

 

Whoever buys this site needs to stick a picture of a racehorse on their ASAP if they want people to sign up.

 

I have a couple of questions:

1) is the script documented? I take it that it uses regex to pull data from other sites
2) can we have a look at what the members area looks like?

 

Mad4: haha, yes, very good point, im a developer not a designer i just took a template from OWD, it does need something to sell it.

Jewellery: 1) The script isnt really documented no, however i can answer any questions you need, i just threw it together quickly. It uses an open source class from sourceforge to grab data.
2) Yes, there are screenshots in the original post.

 

Ok go on more outgoings with the ads than income but I'm a sucker for horseracing!

I bid $60
Do you have an end date in mind?

 

Thanks for the bid. Auction will end tomorrow at 5pm GMT.

BIN set at $200

 

I see the results are not too good, like 2 out 18 is a bit of a low success rate? also are there any issues with the site you are pulling the info from?

2/18
Maybe the buyer could turn it in to a laying site

 

Yeah the results are worked out by a computer based on past results, its not exactly an intelligent estimation. Ideally you'd find tips made by humans, then you'd get a higher success rate.

There are no issues with the site im pulling the data from, the information is freely available to anyone if you looked hard enough.
