Meta Search Engine - eBay Sale

    I'm selling a Meta Search engine on eBay, www.astsearch.com. There's no pagerank, only some sputters of traffic, but nice potential to someone who has run a site like this before or an add-on to a directory site.

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7552143733

    I created an Internet Explorer toolbar as a way to promote the site, which I've recently submitted to a few hundred software sites for incoming links.

    Hosting is paid through April 2006 with Globat.

    The directory part is a DMOZ integration and the software supports being setup with a mod_rewrite. I'm a ColdFusion guy, so I really don't have any experience in working with cgi/php. There's documentation and a nice admin on this script though. I couldn't really get this going, and have been spending my time on other sites. Reserve price is $100 on eBay.

    Revenue right now would come from AdSense and SearchFeed (the sponsored links on search results). There really isn't revenue on this one other than a few people that come the site. The script also has a built in function to sell keywords or phrases, so if someone runs a search, that sponsored listing would show. I didn't bother doing anything with that until the traffic started to pickup.

    And the "AST", before you ask, stands for All Search Toolbar, which had the first version having this search engine as the default search.

    Questions? Concerns? Fire them over.
