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.

I can offer $100

 

okay high bid $100

 

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.

 

auction ends tomorrow night @ 10PM PST

 

$120 from here

 

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.

 

yeah, i've virtually taken them all out except on the homepage

 

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.

 

reserve lowered to: $150

 

20 minutes anyone?...

 

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

 

its a free script thats distributable
