HeatArcade - 2700+ games - revenue - custom design.

For sale:
HeatArcade.com - An excellent site with over 2700 games including a custom design by edskii.com! The fantastic design intergrated with the phpAS coding.

Why am I selling?
I'm selling the site as I need a new computer(desktop pc) so I can work efficiently without having to worry about my computer crashing(as my current laptop does). It's my birthday in august and my parents have said if I put some $$ into it I will be able to get a new computer.

Site details:
The sites design was created by edskii.com, the coded version of the site is quite different as my coder decided to cut shortcuts which annoyed me a little bit, the design is great imo and set me back a lot of $$.

You can view the original designs on the 2 links below.

• Main page - http://www.edskii.com/work/HeatArcade.jpg
• Subpage - http://www.edskii.com/work/HeatArcade2.jpg

The site is intergrated with phparcadescript which has lots of features such as SEO urls, register, login, tokens and lots more. Currently I have turned tokens and registering off although there are over 105 members.

The site has over 2700 games which cost me $49. These games are categorized into 13 categories.

Included in the sale will be a PR2 arcade domain which I do not use - www.agamewebsite.com which is not bad.

Search engines
The site has just started to get indexed on google, currently I see 27 pages indexed. You can view this by clicking here. The site has been indexed a bit by msn too, which you can view by clicking here. On google we rank 1st for 'heat arcade' out of 7.9 million, beating xbox and gamespot.
For easy indexing phpAS also has a sitemap generator and you can view our sitemap here.

Traffic
HeatArcade is 9 days old from launch and since then has been recieving good traffic. Most traffic is from the USA.

You can view July's traffic here:

You can view August's traffic here:

The traffic for today is slow as our site was down early this morning and has only just come back online fully an hour ago.

You can view location stats below:

As you can see a lot of visitors are coming from USA which means the site would be good with YPN for higher payouts.

You can see referral stats here:

The bulletin was from a 5K account that I share along with my business partner, you can purchase bulletins for roughly $15 that will get sent to over 50K users which means traffic could rise durastically.

Revenue
There is currently only one google ad that is optimized on the site which is on the mainpage. I believe if you had YPN, optimized the other pages and you increased the traffic to 1K+ uniques daily you could earn quite a bit.

Sorry about yet another question, but:

Is the phpas license included in this sale?

 

Yes although it cannot be fully transferred untill August 24th. So untill then the license for the site will be in my name - you have nothing too worry about though as the license can't be changed to another site etc as in the terms on phpAS site.

 

Only $50? The design cost me more than $50!

 

I bid 100 USD via Paypal.

 

ok - so the current bid is now at $100.

 

Any more bids?

 

OK - I am now selling the site for $200.
