    I have decided to sell my website, MacsNPods.com, due to time constraints this year. l want to focus on my studies, and Parkside media have hired me to write for there magazine Macguide, so I want to put my full time and effort into the two.

    --------

    MacsNPods is currently making around USD $100 per month from displaying text adds, on the homepage, and at the bottom of the forum.

    Google AdSense balance is at USD $22, but they have not been displayed for long. HandHeldItems.com are also interested in displaying a banner add on the forums, which will attract a few hundred dollars.

    The main site of MacsNPods features articles, reviews, how-to's, interviews, and more. These are all unique articles, written by myself and a few other site helpers.

    The forum features over 10,000 posts, and 210 members.


    The site has being properly running for 5 months, and has attracted over USD $100 per month in revenue, and more than USD $225 per month in free iPod and Macintosh accessories, software, and games. Companies provide us with these to keep, provided on a review.

    The main site is running on Expression Engine CMS, which was purchased 3 weeks ago, for USD $150. The forum is IPB 2.0, which cost USD $69.95.

    Both licenses will be transferred to your name.

    ***** The site was also featured on the front page of the business section in New Zealand’s national newspaper (3 million readers). See a screenshot here http://www.macsnpods.com/npaper2.JPG . It has also attracted media attention in 3 other new Zealand newspaper, and I have been interviewed on the radio about the site*****

    I will offer free hosting for the immediate 2 months following the sale. (400MB storage, 30Gb monthly transfer)


    -----Main Features-----

    PR4 website
    Forum with 10,000 posts
    Stats growing daily

    Please ensure that it is in the agreement the new owner must leave the links that have been prepaid in place for the duration of the time paid... I have one link prepaid for a year and another prepaid for 6 months.

    Do they contact you or vise versa and will the winning bidder get all your contact information for this industry (if any)?

    I might have missed it, but what is the traffic for this website and where does it mainly come from?

    We have established a business relationship with a few companies, where when they release new products, they send them out to us. With the others, we send the PR person an email, and we usually get a reply within a few days.

    I will post up some traffic details in the morning. :)

    We are currently tidying up the site CSS code to make it easier to edit for the new owner. Please hang with us, as the site does not look graphically correct right now.

    The sale is now off.

    After a traffic spike from the digg front page, I am now getting 100 page views per minute, and I have realised this is my passion.

    Sale off :)
