Cover Site with strong earnings & traffic

Ok guys my world has fallen apart. I received a mail from Google that they have disabled my account due to excessive clicks (Can show mail if required). They have not indicated which of my many sites they are referring to so I have no idea. I have never done this type of thing as this is my business and would not be so foolish. I can only presume someone else has done it to try to discredit me. I ask Google for details of the IP that is doing the clicks and they will not say? Anyhow the upshot is that I am moving to another country and will have less access to the internet therefore I have decided that this would be a good time to sell most of my sites starting with this major one below.

If you purchase you will have no problem getting adsense back on as you will be the new owners. I do not live in the states or I would have placed yahoo on there which I believe would be a far better prospect it you can do it.......ok the sites

Unique 325 - 400 day and growing - Stats shot taken today at 9am ET - These stats have been consistant for the last 2 months or more

Earnings up to yesterday before the ads were pulled were a steady $150 - $200 month

Advertising.
None whatsoever - never even done any link building. All visitors coming directly from the search engines.

Search terms for MSN....

Music sleeves = #1 on page 1
Free music sleeves = #1 on page 1
Free video covers = #1 on page 1
Top hits music sleeves = #1 & #2 on page 1
Free music covers = 1st page
Video covers = 1st page
Free DVD covers = 1st page
Free CD covers = 2nd page
CD covers to download = 2nd page
DVD covers = 3rd page

There are many more search terms too many to list but you can see that these are pretty impressive. These stats have steadily grown and will continue to do so. Given the fact that I have not done any advertising or link building I think to have these stats and a pr of 5 is pretty good in this short time.. If you purchase this site then of course I would want you to get verification from Google before you tie the deal. I am certain there will be no problem there but I would recommend Yahoo if you want a better return.

Overview.
This is a site that has been totally developed by me so it was not bought from someone else. You are purchasing a rock solid site that will continue to grow and I have only touched the surface with the earnings. There is the possibility of private advertisers which I never looked into. I do know though that I have placed my own buttons at the bottom (still there) and they do drive a good amount of traffic to my other sites. Of course that depends on the subjects and interest. I was also thinking about adding a forum which would utilize the daily traffic more. I am convinced that 1000 daily unique’s would be easily attainable with this site given a little marketing, although the search engine traffic is growing all the time on its own.

I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

The price reflects not only the earnings but the traffic quality with search terms from the engines which are the top phrases.

Start bids $1500

BIN $5000

 

So Google was saying that the IP / Ip range of the clicker is in the same country or location as you are now? Not sure I understand. Anyone would need ad words to work for then- no?

 

Your guess is as good as mine - its one of those famous mails that Google send out and I know nothing of this and apparently they do not tell me. I have never broken any of Googles rules so I am at a loss with all this. They seem to just do what they want and we have no right of reply or explanation. The thought came to mind that anyone could get people to go onto any site and click away just to cause problems? I do think Google should give a better explanation or at least investigate.

this is the problem, they dont want adsense to be used on warez/torrent sites

 

My ignorance thinking Torrents were not warez?

Perhaps if I remove the torrent search that may satisfy them. If thats the case I will keep the site as it is a great little earner. Thanks av1

Good catch av1,

 

I thought you said it was for excessive clicking and you have the email to prove that? Or does the email not actually say the reason for the ban?

 

Well it was a list of things they said without actually saying which.......

----------------------------------
A publisher's site may not have invalid clicks on any ad(s), including
but not limited to clicks generated by:

- a publisher on his own web pages
- a publisher encouraging others to click on his ads
- automated clicking programs or any other deceptive software
- a publisher altering any portion of the ad code or changing the
layout, behavior, targeting, or delivery of ads for any reason
------------------------

 

why do you want $5000 for a site making only $200/month? I offer $1,000.

 

Thank you for your offer joaquin but you must have read my reasons. I have cleaned the site up now and taken the torrent search off. I will probably place some prime affiliate links. If I do not get a reasonable offer I will move forward myself as this is a proven earner especially with the search engine placements. I may have been a little hasty.
