FS: Basketball Video Digg-like Site (revenue, traffic, predicted PR5)

Hi, I have decided to sell my basketball video site. I do not have the time to maintain and promote the site as much as I wanted to so my loss is someone's gain. This site would be best for someone who is a real fan of basketball. I'll try and post all the info here to minimize the PM:

Site Concept
Basketball fans score videos they like and can submit videos using the embedded code on sites like YouTube and Google Videos. All submitted video goes directly to the front page. There is a section that has the top videos, popular tags, and other neat little features that were customized and modified by me. Uses a modified Pligg script (http://www.pligg.com/).

Traffic Stats
Site has been live since beginning of October but Adsense and StatsCounter was not put on until October 28th so only have stats starting from that date (a little more than 2 weeks).

Stats can be found at: http://my.statcounter.com/project/standard/stats.php?project_id=1996857&guest=1

Marketing
Site has not been marketed at all except for a few signature links on a couple of basketball forums, a blog post and link on a PR6 basketball blog site, and another link on a PR5 basketball blog. Most of the traffic is through Google search engine, averaging about 180 unique visitors/day and 400+ page views the last week. Site has a lot of potential if someone has time to optimize and market it.

Revenue
Google Adsense has not been optimized on the site. I just threw in the code to see how it would do. It has averaged around $0.60/day since Adsense was put in.

Page Rank, Backlinks
According to iwebtool.com, site is predicted to be Page Rank 5 (4.5), 74.4% accuracy, and 983 backlinks.

URL: hoopsdojo.com
DOMAIN REGISTAR: http://www.1and1.com (Buyer has to pay a fee to transfer it).
DOMAIN EXPIRES ON: 10/1/07
REVENUE: Since putting AdSense on the site, has averaged around $0.60/day, plus sold 2 links on the page until the end of the year for $5/each.

STARTING BID: $30
BIN PRICE: I will set it in a couple of days
BID INCREMENTS: $10
RESERVE: I reserve the right not to sell.

AUCTION LENGTH: 1 week (ends Nov 21)
PAYMENT TYPE: Paypal or money order. May take check but have to wait for it to clear.
REQUIREMENTS: Needs a MySql database and support PHP

Site is about 1 month old and is already getting a lot of unique traffic from Google, a high page rank prediction, and makes some revenue even though ad placement and text was not optimized. If you have still have any questions, please PM me or post here.

 

I'll start the bidding at $30

 

$40 .

 

$50

 

How much does it cost to push it from 1and1 to godaddy? Can you describe what needs to be done maintenance-wise?

 

I went to the GoDaddy page and it says you can transfer domains for $6.95.

Maintenance-wise I have not done anything to the site since I launched it other than
1) add adsense code
2) add some links to the sidebar
3) posted some videos, voted for some videos

There is also a section if you have admin access where you can change some of the wording, settings, and colors.

I should also add there is a Digg-like "Spy" section that is on the site that I had planned to put up a link for once there was a lot of User activity but I never got to it. You can see it at hoopsdojo.com/sneak.php

 

I'll bid $60.

 

Thanks for the bids. I will post at BIN on Thursday. I should also add that the only condition is that 3 of the links on the sidebar remain until the end of the year.

BTW, if you wanted to expand the site, it would be pretty easy to make similar sites for other sports (baseball, football, hockey). I can help out with this if the winner is interested.

 

High bid is $80 via PM.

BIN is set at $240.

 

$100 Bid here.

 

nice site. I like it. SOLD at BIN of $240

Please pm payment instructions.

 

Congrats

 

Great looking site. Hope it works out for you.
