    URL: http://www.DSavenue.com

    Age of site (months): 5

    Monthly revenue: $200

    Revenue details:
    $65 in April from Adsense
    $30 in April from Azoogle
    $75/month from selling banner space (lots of banner space on the site)
    $30/month from selling 3 textlinks

    Adsense screenshots available through PM.

    Monthly traffic: 300-400 daily visitors

    Traffic details:
    Number 1 in MSN for "Nintendo DS" and a few other terms.

    60% from direct bookmarks and type ins
    25% from search engines
    15% from link exchanges and other sites

    Traffic has dipped this month a little because I have not had the time to spend on updating news due to my summer employment.

    April Traffic Stats, May Traffic Stats, Monthly Traffic Stats since launch

    Site takes up 35mb in space (database included) and uses about 3 gb in bandwidth monthly right now.

    Description:
    DSavenue.com is a Nintendo DS news and commentary site. It is managed through the free CMS, Mambo, and has an easy to use admin backend and excellet support forum.

    You will get:
    - the domain (transfered on GoDaddy)
    - exclusive rights to all 9 video game reviews written by me and all content on the site
    - custom site design
    - access to phpadsnew for a list of current/past advertisers so you can get in touch with and renew advertising banners.

    The final bidder will pay through Paypal where I'm verified.

    Upon payment I will change the Adsense pub-IDs so you can start generating money right away. I will email you the cPanel hosting username/password so you can start the transfer of the site. You will also be given the password for the phpAdsNew area of the site and admin area for the site. Details on moving a Mambo site from my webhost to yours can be found here and here.

    You will have until June 3rd to move the website off my current host before my hosting account expires. You will be solely responsible for moving the site by June 3rd.

    I am selling the site because I just got a full-time corporate summer job.

    Generating Content:

    It takes me no more than 15 minutes per day to scan various Nintendo DS news sources (which I'll provide you a list of when you purchase the site) and see what's new that I can write about. On weekend I usually spend a little more time and develop longer editorials or articles to publish.

    Starting Price: $2000

    Is an auction? Yes

    Buy Now Price: $4000

    Auction ends: Monday May 23rd 9pm PST or at an earlier time if I end the auction

    This will be posted on several message boards and I will keep all threads updated with the current bid price.

    I am selling the site because I just got a full-time corporate summer job. My time is stretched way to thin right now between personal web development work, maintaining my websites, and my new job.

    It does seem to have some good SE placement. It did rank #1 in MSN for Nintendo DS. I had to check :)
