ESTABLISHED 2YR + Sites earning $9,690.60+ /yr CUSTOM SCRIPT

A friend of mine is selling his site on SitePoint. I am duplicating (and vouching) for him on DP.

Taken from SP:
On the auction block today are three established sites earning almost $10,000 proven dollars per year. I've owned these sites for over two years and have revenue proof dating back forever.

Included in this auction are the following domains:
ProjectByPass.com/net/org (April 2005)(.com is PR4)
NetSack.net (May 2005)(PR4)
Esconda.com (April 2006)(PR2, Google fluctuates this PR for some reason)

PrivateByPass.com - I was going to start up a private (*paid*) service of PBP (projectbypass) but never got around to it. This domain is included too.

Most of you probably have one time or another heard of ProjectByPass, as it is arguably one of the older proxy sites on the net.

I started this site to bypass my school's filter in a World History class I had at the time, so the site has some pretty solid history.

Time for the meat and potatoes:

REASON FOR SALE -

I'm going to college this fall and am unloading all of my sites. You may have seen a few others of mine on SP earlier, I'm getting rid of everything. These sites are great, and have been great to me. I make MUCH more money on these than I do at my part-time job... it was a good run and I'll be sad to see them go.

SITES -

This package of 6 domains (free push at NameCheap) is three separate sites all using a heavily modified version of either phproxy or cgiproxy. I'll explain below what makes them such gems.

REVENUE -

Right off the bat I want to hit on some revenue. The sites together earn a proven $26.05/day (all the ad-sections added together). This isn't an estimate, IT IS PROVEN. Again, I've owned these sites for 2 years, monetized for 1.5 years, and can show screenshots dating back to November of '05 I believe. Also, I had popunder ads for a good chunk of time, I have no stats for those but I believe they earned me about $5-6 per day. Those are NOT included in the $26.05 /day revenue. You could easily make upwards of $35+ per day with these sites with popunders.

TRAFFIC -

Here is why these sites are so great. My partner and I custom coded a GeoIP deny script for these sites. Everyone knows India/China traffic isn't half as good as US/UK/CA traffic. So, we deny them access. This cut down on bandwidth 10-fold. The site, I believe, uses 3-5GB a day now versus 10-15+GB/day before. With our GeoIP script we deny ANYONE not in the US. We figure that EU traffic and CA traffic are equally as nice, but denied it due to bandwidth constrictions. I figure US/UK/CA is 3/4 of the traffic.

CODE - (MUST READ)

Ok, this code is something many of are probably interested in, because it saves the site owner tons of money. As stated above, we have a custom GeoIP script to deny bad traffic, but in addition, we have a direct-linking script that kills any direct-links in 6 hours time. How does it work? Basically, every 6 hours, the site changes it's encrypting algorithm. That being said, if you have projectbypass.com/proxy/?=32082075200 (going to google.com or something). In 6 hours time, it will just redirect to the homepage. This cuts down on SO much bandwidth, from people linking movies and flash and such. The site is 100% operational with this script, there are no bugs at all. Honestly, this is a huge plus to the site. You cut down on all the bad things about owning a proxy, and only get good 100% monetizable traffic and no unwanted fees.

PRICE -

I've set the opening bid at 1 month's revenue. Buy It Now is set at 9 month's revenue. I think this is a VERY fair price considering the sites have 2 years of proven traffic. It is rare to find these types of sites that have the age these ones do.

I would appreciate a check/cashier's check/Money Order to help evade the PayPal fees. If winner choses to use PayPal, I'll split the fees. I f you have concerns about this, please let me know, and we can arrange another form of payment.

LEGAL -

I had my attorney write a Terms of Service for the sites but never implemented it. Included in this auction is a TOS written by my attorney.

In addition, I would be willing to sign a Bill of Sale or Non-Compete if necessary.

HISTORY -

If you need any referrals, I can give you the contact information of two companies I've sold sites to and they can vouch for my reliability and authenticity.

ANYTHING ELSE -

If you have questions please ask! I've included a few screenshots but not all, I can provide the rest by PM, since SP only allows 4 or 5 I believe.

I'd be happy to work with the winner to help him/her properly monetize these, I want you to be happy with your final product. My past winners can vouch for this, I stand by my sites.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this auction, happy bidding.
Revenue Details:

Revenue is outlined in the description above, but I will recap. Combined, the sites earn $26.05 per day on textlinks alone. This equates to $807.55 per month, and over $9,690.60 per year!

I have revenue details dating back from November 2005, rest assured that you are buying QUALITY sites.

Ads have been removed because I don't know YPN's restrictions on selling sites with their ads displayed, it could be misconstrued. Either way, I don't want to risk it. I want to keep my account so I don't want them getting upset about it. However, I have the screenshots to prove revenue. If you have questions, please PM
Traffic Details:

The traffic details from above (in the auction header) are ONLY from ProjectByPass. I don't have any traffic trackers for Esconda/Netsack. Needless to say, they will add a good portion of traffic to the overall product.
