    I've got a few other projects going on and need to unload this site:

    URL: www.EZCreditOffers.com
    Age: 2 months (online since September 21 2005)
    Google Pagerank: 4
    Alexa Traffic Rank: 803,131
    Pages in Google: 220
    Pages in Yahoo: 5
    Pages in MSN: 14
    Links in Google: 66
    Links in Yahoo: 1210
    Links in MSN: 1588
    October Revenue: $29.61 (Adsense), $10 (paid site-wide link)
    November Revenue: $7.25 (Adsense), $10 (paid site-wide link)
    October Traffic: 1099 unique visitors, 4715 visits, 24803 pages, 92596 hits, 645 MB
    November Traffic: 109 unique visitors, 210 visits, 3850 pages, 5054 hits, 117 MB

    This is a Drupal CMS with content from CardOffers.com, ads from Commission Junction and a load of articles from various sources. I try to add 5-10 new articles every few days so the content stays fresh, and RSS news is updated every few hours.

    PM me or post in this thread if you'd like more information.

    Starting Price: $200

    Greetings. Nice looking wesbite. Can you please tell me exactly what kind of work this takes to run. How hard is it to add new info? How easy is it to chnage the design around a bit? I notice on some of the pages there is no adsense on the top of the page, can this be added easy?

    Im assuming all of the credit info is generated from cardoffers. What is their commision like? Where are the CJ affilaite links?

    Where is your traffic currently comming from.

    Which links have you sold for $10?? How long must they remain there for?

    I did not check this site out completely yet, but where do you get articles?

    Are they provided by a third party, from a free article website, or from your own writing?

    Not very hard at all. With Drupal you can add "pages" or "stories" (which are both pretty much the same). Once you've added them they go right to the top of the front page. You can select a category for each item you add, and depending on that it will show up in the correct place ("Credit Card Offers", "Financial Articles", etc).

    Very easy to change the design around. You can modify the current design, or you can change the entire theme. There are a whole load of themes available on drupal.org.

    The credit card information is all from cardoffers, it's pulled in with javascript and is always current. If they make a change to one of their offers it's updated immediately, the next time that offer is displayed it will use the newer information.

    Most of the items in "loan offers" are from CJ.

    All over the place. Some directories, some forums, some search engines and from some sites where I have placed links. I had purchased some "targetted" traffic which was pretty much useless, that was in October.

    To tell the truth, I don't recall which link it was, I'll have to find out. It's month-to-month (a PayPal subscription), so you can get in touch with the person who bought the link and work out how much longer the link will stay there.

    They're from free article sites - iSnare, etc.

    There are also a few links from NCSReporting, I forgot about those. Those are loans, lines of credit, etc. There have been a few clicks on those but no sales.

    Does this require an account at Credit Offers?

    Thanks.

    I assume you're talking about CardOffers.com? If so, then yes, it does. I may be able to transfer my account to you, though, I'm not positive.

    Sorry, forgot to answer this question.

    According to their web site, "The payouts are made monthly and range anywhere between $3 per application and up to $70 per approval."

    I will start the bidding at $200- I would like to see a BIN posted though

    Also, could the design be tweaked to show many card offers smaller so you can see more of them at once? Card offers has a demo site setup here : http://www.topcreditcards.org/

    Yes. There are a number of different ways the data can be displayed from CardOffers, I chose to use the "review" format. There's also a "bullet" format which just shows the highlights of each offer. They also offer "templates", which allow you to create pages similar to the one you've linked to. There are many sites that look like that, I chose to use a different format so my site would stand out. Or so I hoped. ;-)

    Joch21 has the highest bid so far at $200.

    It's hosted on one of my VPS's. It can be moved easily, it's a bunch of PHP files and one database. The whole domain can be backed up and moved to your server relatively quickly.

    One more thing I should've mentioned at the start of this... PayPal is the only method I can accept for payments!

    I think I have a StormPay account, could you use that?

    That was the "targetted" traffic that I had purchased. It didn't work out as expected. :-(

    Bidding ends Sunday, November 13th at 12:00 PM EST.

    It's less than 60 days since it was registered, so it has to stay at it's current registrar (DirectI). However, you can sign up for a (free) account at DirectI and I can push the domain to you for free there. After the 60 days are up you can transfer it to whatever registrar you choose.

    I'm pretty sure it'll be free to move after the 21st of this month - it was registered on September 21st, so November 21st should be close to 60 days.
