Ninja Proxy Network - $1500/month

Hi, I am putting my network of proxy sites up for sale. The Ninja Proxy network includes:

http://www.ninjaproxy.com/
http://www.pimpmyip.com/
http://www.fastfreeproxy.com/
http://www.drpruxy.net/
http://www.prxy.co.uk/
http://www.freetoview.net/

TRAFFIC

NinjaProxy has an external traffic logger here: http://extremetracking.com/open;unique?login=ninjaprx

As you can see, traffic has been climbing steadily, reasching past 11,000 visitors this week. There was a network wide server crash on May 4th and part of May 5th. Please ignore traffic for those days. 241517 unique hits and 3 million page views and in April.

Other sites' traffic is measured through Awstats for the whole month of April.
http://www.pimpmyip.com - 54,935 visits, 10,629,045 pageviews screenshot
http://www.drpruxy.net - 309,636 visits, 10,599,089 pageviews screenshot
http://www.fastfreeproxy.com - 9,592 visits, 618,464 pageviews screenshot
http://www.prxy.co.uk - 1,065 visits, 1237 pageviews screenshot
http://www.freetoview.net - 12,987 visits 1,429,561 pageviews screenshot
http://www.proxygenie.com - 13,232 visits 1,046,905 pageviews screenshot

As you can see, the smaller sites still are small, but are showing potential. Free to view used to be a flagship site, but due to a downtime on the server some time ago, it all didn't go too well in the end.

Proxy genies on April 27th and 28th beat the 1000 unique hits/day record for the first time, so showing progress.

DrProxy seems to show insane unique hits per day on some days. I'm not sure why that is so, but that's what the stats show.

PimpMyIP is one of the better sites, keeping up steady traffic.

NinjaProxy is always up. At the beginning of April, it was getting 9000 unique hits per day on some days, now it's going at 11,000. It's also by far the largest money earner.

PAGERANK

I didn't check the future pagerank. I've found that tool to be horribly unreliable.


EARNINGS

Total earnings in April: $1519,29

Out of this, Adsense accounts for:


And Right Media accounts for:


Earnings are always low on the weekends due to people not needing the proxy, and always high on the weekdays, when people are at school/work.

Basically put, I suck at optimisation. I'm a PHP programmer, a damn good one, but this is out of my field. As you can see, I am getting an eCPM of $0.16 for RightMedia. Even the double of that would be low (but would double your earnings).

Advertising
I've done no advertising. Some sites were addd to some proxy directories when they were made, I'm not sure. I have linked all sites to each other. NinjaProxy has links from VideoGameChat.net and LastOCP.com pointing to it, both are my sites. The new buyer can remove these links, or we can agree upon a link exchange.


Servers
The sites are currently running on 2 dual P4 servers. One has NinjaProxy on it, another one has all the other sites, but it also has a forum with nearly 400,000 posts, and a lot of other stuff. So I would say really 1 server and a half. They are purchased at SurpassHosting for $410/mo total, BUT if you count that other one as half a server, that would be $300/mo total. Additionally, if you expect these sites to really grow, which they have potetnial for, I would invest in more servers.

Scripts
Sites run both on the popular CGIProxy and PHProxy scripts. The PHProxy script has been modified by me personally to add these 2 modifications:
1. Bug fix. The original script doesn't display the url include forum if the body tag of a site is empty
2. Anti-hotlinking fix. People who link images through the proxies will get a hotlink image. Images can be accessed only if you are browsing a page using the proxies.


Reason for selling
I'm starting up my own software company. I could really use a bit of extra funding.


Considering the fact that the traffic is going up and up throughout the network, and that earnings are constantly going up and up (May 2nd it earnt over $85), I'm looking for pretty high offers. I know of the usual 10x monthly revenue calculation, but the revenue here is growing and growing, and there is no expense from you time wise. It just sits there and earns money without you doing anything.

Start price: open to offers
BIN: $30,000 (I don't like setting a low BIN because I have to obey it, and then I wouldn't know what the site could potentially sell for if another buyer came along.)
Reserve: undisclosed
Payment method: Escrow

 

Hi
Im on proxy world from years, and some names are famouse,and see alot times.
Wish i have this money really.
Good luck with sale.

 

No way to purchase a couple instead of whole pack?

 

I'm not very willing to sell it that way, but make an offer.

 

I just want ninja proxy.

PM me if you'd like to discuss a deal.

PM sent.

 

is ninjaproxy somehow related to proxyninja ?

Ninja Proxy was sold to me on a sales thread that was started on Dec 16th on SitePoint.com forums, back when it was still a small and infant site. Dec 16th happens to be the date proxyninja.com was registered and exactly the same text appeared on their site. I can't believe someone would go through that trouble to make that site, but not invest the 3 minutes neccessary to type up the actual text for it instead of copying directly from another site with a similar domain. I think it's retarded. You can draw your own conclusions.

 

There's been a lot of interest for selling these sites alone, as well as establishing a proper BIN price.

So, here we go:

Ninjaproxy - BIN $16000.
DrProxy - BIN $2500.
PimpMyIP - BIN $2300.
FastFreeProxy - BIN $500
FreeToView - BIN $300
ProxyGenie - BIN $300
Prxy - BIN $100

Together - BIN $20,000

High offer now is $15,000. I'm not sure if I will accept that. The reason for that is that the site is like a dream - the only work involved is taking the checks to the bank. Other than that, it just sits there and earns money without you doing anything.

 

After server charges the monthly profit is around $1100 so id grab the 15k while i could.

 

I wouldn't. There's something very appealing about doing nothing and having your bank account balance constantly increased. Considering I'm serving upto 300,000 ad impressions per day, I don't see there being any large risk either.

 

Current high offer is $15,700


EDIT: 2 people now asked me about this, so I feel I need to address it --

I don't agree that the proxy market is saturated. NinjaProxy is currently maxing out it's current server. On May 4th the server with PimpMyIP and DrProxy on it crashed due to overload. If you're serious about getting into the proxy market, get 2 additional servers just for NinjaProxy. I'd estimate they'd be full in approx. 2 months and you'll be running a million impressions a day. Low eCPM won't even matter then, you'll be scoring $150+/day anyway. If you can get on a CPM program such as Axill.com, double that amount.

There's only 1 reason it's currently doing $1500/mo, and it's because I have a job as a PHP programmer, I get $35/hour so I'm happy, and I do nothing with the sites I own.

 

Earnt $96.02 yesterday, highest ever. This site is on it's way up.

 

do you have these on a dedicated server?

 

When does this end ?

PM me all details of this transaction please.

 

Nice site gona use it for just browsing, good luck with sales . And i dont see no ads on there, must be my firewall.

 

What is Right Media and how can we sign up as a publisher?

 

Yes, the first post describes the server setup.

End of this Friday, that's still 3 days to go

PM me with exactly what you need, and I'll get back to you.

Rightmedia is basically all those yieldmanager ads. Their website is here: http://www.rightmedia.com/ You can sign up with them, it's easy like any ad network. If you can quote you can serve almost 6 million impressions a month like this network does, you should easily get in.
