Site has 617 backlinks according to MSN:

It gets moderate traffic from the SE's (as you can see from the stats above). Most traffic comes from forum sigs and previous directory submissions. It's a great domain name for organic searches (get in search engines). The site indexes about 100 different directories, and has given me quite a few referrals to both my LV and COOP account (just replace my referral ID with yours when you take over the site).

Site comes with the script (it's GPL), as well as a copy of the program I use to update the different PRs (in case your hosting has been banned by the toolbar.google bit, like mine has. It was like that before I started this site, so rest assured it has nothing to do with this site doing anything malicious). The program just takes an SQL dump (CV), checks all the sites PRs from your PC, then spits out a new SQL dump with the updated PR data for you to upload. Very easy and only takes a few minutes to use.

I am selling the site because rent is due on the 4th, and I don't have it
So, this auction will end on the 3rd at 11:59pm

I will make every attempt to help the new owner move it to their own hosting, or they can continue to host with the provider I use (and my provider will take care of everything on that end, @ 10$ per month).



STARTING BID: $100
BIN: $325

Please PM me here if you have questions. Payment needs to reach me by the 4th, otherwise I will most likely take the next highest bidder. Thanks all.

 

Could you tell me about the links in the footer? Are the permanent or can they be removed?

With your use of YPM, I personally would never do it that way, a bit underhanded. Have you (or anyone else looking at this thread) had any problems with done this way?

 

The links in the footer are my other sites. You are welcome to remove the links.

I have recieved a few PMs here on digital point about them being well placed, but never a complaint (from the user end). From Yahoo's end I contacted them to make sure I was allowed to do that, and the rep. told me that it was ok.

 

$100 here from me..it is kinda misleading on the yahoo ads.i have an account with them,glad i didnt click..LOL..my bid is based on you moving to my server,as you said,and telling me/seting up the sql dump..thanks

 

$125 here - I can move it myself.

 

$150 here..i can move,but ask that you do.Thanks

 

Moving it isn't very involved, I can certainly help anyone who needs it. It's just a PHP script and a MySQL DB dump. It's hosted on a cpanel server, so if you host on a cpanel server, it'll take like 15 minutes to do a backup and re-upload it.

 

Templates is the current high bidder.

 

Not sure if this adds any value, but I saw it in another auction and figured I'd add it in. The main page has a predicted PR of 5 for the next update according to:
http://www.iwebtool.com/pagerank_prediction

 

$175 from me.

 

i see where its optional $4.99 for a link,but where is the $1.99 option for standard links?

 

I removed this after my last posting on the solicitations board - I was trying to reach 150 sites in the directory so it had some decent size before putting it back in. The ability to 'purchase' links has been gone for about 2 weeks now, other then the featured option.
It sold the standard links during the 2 or 3 weeks it was offering them.

It is very simple to return it to the way it was before if the new owner values paid links more then a higher content site.

 

So,when is this auction ending?

 

Really need the money on the fourth so I can pay that landlord person..So the high bid at 11:59 tomorrow night takes it, so long as they can pay me on the fourth. The sooner the better

 

Can you tell us exactly when midnight is? We may not live in the same time zone as you, I don't want to show up an hour late to find out I missed it.

 

Oh. I always think that the boards say the same time for everyone. Sorry.
I live in EST, so midnight friday is about 28 hours from now.
I will post again when the time is running down (say in the last few hours) just so everyone who is interested has a heads up.

 

Little under 10 hours left now.

High bid is $175

good luck

 

Little longer then 4 hours left.

 

$180 from me

 

15 minutes left, $180 is the top bid. Please keep the bids to at least $20 increments so it doesn't get out of hand towards the end..
