Huge network, Cheap price! 40 proxies for sale

    Last month, my server was shut down by my hosting company. I tried selling the proxies, but the deal ended up being cancelled (see here http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=295091 for more details).

    Before my server was shut down, they made around $20-$25 per day, and rising (proof available if necessary) - that was during March.

    In April, my server was shut down. for about 1-1.5 weeks the site were down. After I got them back up on a new server, I found out my adsense account was smartpriced (i.e. that means I make about $0.5 eCPM instead of roughly the $4-$5 I used to make), which means the proxies now made $2-$3 per day roughly.

    Several days ago I switched the adsense codes to a partner's adsense accounts, and indeed revenue went as high as $7 per day, and might be more because it was during a weekend for the most part. In other words, they make roughly $150-$200 currently per month.

    We're talking about 40 different sites, some of them with templates, others with a standard design. All using PHP proxy 0.5b.

    Example site:

    http://www.aizon.info

    If you look carefully, you'll be able to find another 20+ sites at the bottom (all linked ) which are all from our network.

    I'm selling as a network for $600 ( around 3 months of revenue, and that's assuming they don't recover, which they are :) ), or individual sites for $15 each. I don't have seperate channels for the sites currently, but I did in March and April, back when I was using my own adsense (hence older screenshots will have channels, if you need the newer screenshots they are from a partner's new account).

    Looking for a quick deal, but will not sell for pennies - I'd rather keep them and make $200 per month on the current setting, rather than sell for just 1-2 months of revenue.

    Still no decent offers made, I'm waiting for a decent offer to close quickly.

    Here are some revenue screenshots that include a bit of the downtime (between April 1st and 11th I've had a few bad days due to the fact that I didn't block a specific site that was causing issues, even though I knew it caused issues - with the new phpproxy 0.5b this would have been a 30 second process, I just didn't use it back then) :

    Still managed to make a good $80 even due to a lot of issues in those dates.

    How much are you spending for advertising per month?

    I am serious considering this but would just like to know if you can rememeber roughly what bandwith/server usage the whole network used? Where are the domains registered?

    I have the actual server stats - so I can tell you clearly: All sites except one used a TOTAL of roughly 50 gigs in the last 20 days or so, nothing major in other words.

    One of the sites used up a lot more, but that's because hotlinking is not enabled, and I didn't have time to do that - just enable it (a simple option in phpproxy 0.5b) and you should have no trouble at all, even with that one site (that's what happens when you don't have time to take care of the sites - as I mentioned, I didn't spend a single second on running the proxies in the last 20 days or so).

    As you can see, bandwidth requirements are very minor compared to other networks :) Also, these stats are the actual server stats for WHM - not skewed stats from an online stats program.

    The domains are all in namecheap, and have a long time to go (at least 10 or so months each, maybe 9.5 for a few). Free push immediately upon purchase.

    Site is pending sale.

    Not spending a dime on advertising by the way. The other week I purchased a $20 mailing to a proxy group here on DP as a test, but it didn't seem to make a serious difference. That's the only time I spent money on marketing these sites.
