GameFlavor Network
This auction is for the GameFlavor Network of gaming sites. The GameFlavor Network has been established for some years now, with PSPWorld.com the most established since 2005/06. The Network is a collection of video games sites with top-tier URLs. The Network's revenue stream has remained steady as long as daily updates have been made to the sites. All the sites in the Network are professionally written by journalists, some in the past have had experience at iLounge.com, MacMinute.com, About.com, BuzzPatrol.com, Luxist.com, and other well-known sites. GameFlavor.com serves as an aggregation/portal page, displaying the top stories from all the different sites in the Network, along with the latest message board posts. All the "Boards" links on the individual sites link back to the GameFlavor message boards, creating one central community between the readers of all the sites. The community currently has over 2600 registered users, plus 5000 RSS subscribers. The vision of the GameFlavor Network is to offer up-to-date news, game, and accessory coverage for each of the individual consoles, yet offer a single meeting point for the readers of those sites — maximizing community while also maximizing revenue potential for each individual site. All sites in the network (PSPWorld.com, PS3Informer.com, Xboxist, TheRedShell) have proven that the layout, content style, and navigation structure work well.

Strong Keyword performance:

* No.1 Google News - "psp downloads"

* No.1 Google News - "Sony PSP Accessories"

* No.1 Google Search - "psp gear"

We're looking for starting bids at $33,000 -- only two thirds of 1 year's worth of revenue. We can be reached here or at: gameflavor.com/contact

Ad revenue
For the past few years, The Game Flavor Network brought in around $50,000 yearly. All the sites use various monetisation methods, including affiliate sales, direct advertising, network ads, and adsense. The network also has Intergi, GamerDNA, and Gorilla Nation Media working hard to provide them with CPM-based ads. Past advertisers through GNM include Rockstar Games, Ubisoft, Midway Games, Namco Bandai, Powerade, Fox Television, Griffin Technology, Circuit City, and others. Gorilla Nation Media has confirmed that they will continue selling advertising for the new buyer. This is a very big deal, as the sites are supported by real companies and not just Adsense like most content-based sites. Revenue has dropped off recently, as budgets have tied up due to the recession, but the network still holds huge potential.

eCommerce - Direct Sales
Also, the new owner can maximise direct ad sales if they so wish. Thereby potentially tripling the current income. We have also considered adding an e-commerce solution, but have not pursued this due to project priorities. This is an extremely lucrative option for the new owner, which they should seriously consider.

Past Advertisers
* Rockstar Games
* Ubisoft
* Midway Games
* Namco Bandai
* Majesco
* Powerade
* Lions Gate Entertainment
* Fox Television
* Griffin Technology
* Circuit City

* Game Stop Other income comes from Amazon affiliate sales, Blogads, and text links (both direct sales, affiliate, and Text Link Ads). Adsense and Amazon money picks up drastically around the holidays, so we're expecting the network to bring in revenues of just over $50,000 this year. *The following are revenue extracts & so indicate only a precentage of total earnings.

CMS & Design
All of the sites in the GameFlavor Network are accessed through a single customized Movable Type install. This install has been modified from the stock version to improve workflow and to create better URLs. All of the sites have extreme SEO optimization in place. In addition, all of the CSS and site layouts have been professionally designed, each with a feel reminiscent of the game system they cover, yet all similar to one another for consistency.

Costs
The only monthly costs incurred are for hosting, which is only $10/month through Dreamhost.com.
We pay some writers on per post basis, and usually only provided free games or accessories for full reviews. We aimed for posting four stories every weekday on each site, for a monthly cost of $100-200. However, a potential buyer of the network with writing ability and a passion for gaming could easily handle the bulk of content production.

Social Networking Marketing - Twitter | MySpace | YouTube | Facebook
We have a prominent presence on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and Youtube, with over 200 friends on MySpace and 1000s of vide views on YouTube. These sites have proved extremely productive in terms of attracting new members to the GameFlavor Network. All accounts will be included in the sale, together with a FaceBook account. It is quite easy to maximise enormous traffic from these sites, if done wisely.

Content
In addition, the winning bidder also gets several email accounts and and our industry contacts. We will also provide our list of RSS feeds, press lists and bookmarks for acquiring news and press releases. PSP World, PS3 Informer and Xboxist are all run with only two writers. The core team of five writers will be staying on after the sale (if buyer wants them).

Style Guide
An expertly written style guide for new writers also comes with the auction.

TRAFFIC DETAILS

Hi,
If you're checking from a typical SPAM country then you'd get blocked. Try again

 

Cool you made money back in 06 and 07 but that was 4 years ago. What do you have to show recently? Maybe you meant to say this site is for sale for $550 not $55,000.

 

Thanks for the your opinion. Not sure why you chose to ignore the info in bold:
