    Just curious if the copyright holders mind their pictures' inclusion in your site? It doesn't look like you list the name or provide a link back to the artist. Since the pictures aren't huge, maybe there's a case for fair use. Somewhat risky without this part cleared up.

    Also, what kind of upkeep does your site require?

    I notice that you have many interesting keyword such as "dragon tattoos", "red dragon", "black dragon" and "dragon tattoo" under you rstat (http://65.75.145.180/awstats/awstats.pl?config=freedragonpictures.com) but could not found them listed in any major search engine. Could you please advise under which search engine is the keyword listed and thier recpective ranking.

    Sorry for the late reply. Here are some of the concerns raised in PM and here on the board:

    Copyright? Do I hold them? No. I don't hold any copyright on the pictures. But I tried to pick pictures 2 years back from domains which were in public domains and some from getting perms from picture owners. But I don't have any copyright on them. I never had any problems in last 2 years with the pictures

    Escrow: Yes. We can go for escrow. Both can divide the fee. Term can be 5 to 7 days.

    Paid advertising: No, I never did any paid advertising for the site.

    Links from my sites: Yes. There are some links from my own sites. They will work as link-exchanged. If you remove mine, I remove yours or vice versa else its beneficial to both.

    Site Down: Yes. My host managed.com dataline was down for 24 minutes. Sorry for that.

    Work Required for site: Once created 2 yrs back I never touched the site except changing the banners. So as it is, it doesn't need any work. But you can add more dragon related pages as there are a lot of dragon based keywords which are still not targeted on the site.


    Keywords in Stats: Sorry. awstats doesn't show which keyword is coming from which search engine, so I cannot answer that.

    If you have any more questions do let me know:

    As of now the highest bid is $1500.
    But one user (jitenagr ) is ready to buy the site at BIN if I agree to his terms "7 day escrow at escrow.com. We will split the escrow fees evenly", which I do agree.

    So I am taking it as a final BIN based bid but still waiting for his reply. He still can accept/reject.
