    Monthly revenue:
    YPN1 ~$1-2 a day

    Revenue details: I have a 468x60 banner on the homepage and on the code and image viewing page. Contextual isn't really an effectvie way of monetizing image hosting sites. I just switched this site over to precisionclick yesterday to try them out.

    Monthly page views:
    ~3000

    Traffic details: myspace, forums

    -2MB per image
    -Uses customized script with no need of a database.
    -It's incredibly quick to load.
    -Currently hosting 1200 images
    -No paid advertising.
    -Some SEO work, could use more.
    -PR4
    -195,407 overall alexa (was 160,000 overall last week but went up @ update)
    -Requires almost no maintenance work. Just bring it traffic. I will PM the winner with a good way to get traffic by hosting a certain video every week.
    -Has about 10 directory submissions and a couple links from other blogs.

    Design:
    The design is custom and done by me.

    I also have another professionally done design by the owner of www.whalesalad.com. View it here: http://imgcross.mw-systems.com/

    Reason for selling:
    I've got bigger plans for this summer and require a bit of money to get started. This was a great way for me to experience site ownership. It's great for someone new to get started or someone else that can further develop it.

    $100

    Reserve: 200

    Buy it now: $450

    What script are you using?
    Where google incoming links came from?

    If are from your own sites, will those links remain?

    i can't even remember the name of the script but its very simple. incoming links are from forum posts, sigs, word of mouth in forums (someone uses it, likes it, passes it on) and the links from my sites will definitely stay.

    Only 44% usa traffic and you're running ypn ads? I would watch out with that or geo track your visitors. You wouldn't want to loose your acccount.

    At least can you renember if is a free or paid script? So it can be use it in another domain too?

    There is an admin for the script?
    Can this script store the images if needed in diferent servers?

    -its a free script so yes you can use it on unlimited domains
    -no there is no admin panel, i just use my host's stats to manage bandwidth and disk space.
    -if there is a way to store images on a 2nd server, i wouldn't know how

    condemons - high bid @ $120

    So, if you have no admin, how can you see and detect if any adult image is hosted?
    This is a critical point because adsense or YPN can cancel any account if there is a banner with this kind of images.

    which is why i've taken off contextual ads from image viewing pages. Those pages should be monetized with cpm/popup/adbrite ads. Even if there was an admin account, it would be extremely time consuming to check each image for appropriateness.

    Did you code the script? If so, does it come with resale rights?
