    The site is www.supercarcup.com

    I baught it early this year. Have tagged on a resource directory which cost me $350. Presently it makes about $80/monthly from Adsense. marketleap shows 1,845 links.

    Gets about 200 unique/day traffic. Will start accepting offers above $1,600 on this one. Later, if need be, I'll post screen shots of September's Adsense, and also traffic etc.

    Edit: I have co-op running on the site. Recently, the ad_network file stopped working. So fixed it within the resource directory: http://www.supercarcup.com/resources/

    On the main 16 pages of the site, the ad_network file still needs updating. So don't worry about this for now. Will have it done probably today, and will report back about the exact amount of co-op weight this site yields.

    I'll paste a screenshot of September's earnings and also a screenshot of webalizer stats.. once I get the Cpanel login from my host. (Haven't updated it much, and lost the password.)

    No worries, once these screenshots are posted, and the co-op is validated, people can start making some serious offers.

    As promised, here are links to screen shots of the traffic stats. I'm not too good at making screen shots and stuff of that nature, so just got someone to make a PDF of the September stats. Might be a bit messy, but should do the job:

    http://www.3dmax-tutorials.com/supercar/

    Also, I just validated the co-op after fixing the ad_network file on the entire site. The weight comes to 3,980. (A value of about $80/monthly right there, were this ad space to be rented out)

    The ten other links you see in the footer of all pages are my own links being pulled from my master php script uploaded on my other server.

    I will pay the successful buyer $150USD/every month by Paypal subscription to keep these links intact for a minimum of three months, possibly much longer!

    Adsense stats will be posted a little later today.

    As mentioned in the first post, offers above $1,600 are being considered. I expect to sell the site for more though.

    So why not just sell it for $450 less with the agreement of leaving the links in place for three months? Just curious. Good luck selling the site.

    Well, when the site gets moved to another server, to me the links will actually be worth the $150, if not more. The three month thing is just a gaurantee.

    My plan is to keep the links long term. Since I can always adjust the anchors/URLs at my end... so even if something gets sandboxed, or some new anchors need to be added, there wouldn't be any need to cancell the subscription.

    Also, I would prefer to sell the site at its total agreed upon price and send the $150 amounts monthly :)

    Edit: Earlier I mentioned it gets about 200 unique visitors a day. I was basing that on my Adsense impressions stats. The more accurate number is actually over 350-400 unique visitors!

    Link to screenshot of Webalizer stats has been posted above. Most of the hits seem to be coming from Google images.

    Does it get traffic from search engines for any good keywords ? What is the potential to increase traffic ? Is it out of the sandbox ?

    The stats are pasted above. The site still seems to be in the sandbox. It's less than a year old. I haven't really attempted to throw co-op weight or anything of that sort at it and rank it for anything meaningful.

    The traffic trends do suggest though that it has massive potential. Once it's out of the sandbox, should do pretty well. My asking price is based on the current revenue, PR, and number of pages indexed.

    I just took a screenshot of the Adsense earnings of September thus far. ($81). Will send the link via PM to whomever makes a PM request.

    Thanks for the current HIGH BID of $1,600.

    Let me try consolidating some of the info in my previous posts, to give a better idea of what the site is actually worth:

    1. It has made $84 from Adsense as of a few minutes from now. Since there are still 3-4 days left in September, it would not be unfair to state that the site is generating almost $100/month from Adsense.

    2. The PR levels of the home page and most internal pages are not bad at all. Before the last update all internal pages linked off the home page were showing PR5. Now, the home page is a PR5, and the internals are showing PR4.

    3. The value of this PR can be realized by selling links. Currently ten links (besides the co-op ones) are being displayed in the footer of all pages. I am attaching a value of $150/month to this ad space, which has nothing to do with promoting this sale. To prove that my attached value is realistic, I'm agreeing to keep the links there after the sale and pay the new buyer $150/month. I'm agreeing to do this with a minimum commitment of three months, possibly much longer, because the links to me are actually worth more than $150. ($150/month to me is a good deal).

    4. The site has 350-400 unique visitors a day from traffic even while it is still sandboxed! Imagine what will happen the day Google lifts the sandbox and gives it its true rankings.

    5. It currently yeilds 4,000 in co-op weight, which is ad space worth anywhere between $80-120/month, as I'm sure several members here at DP can confirm.

    Given this, the site is currently worth $350/month to me as is, without any further promotion.

    PM with any questions before placing a bid or to verify the Adsense stats.

    Hi,

    I think it's one heavy site. I would consider buying it if I could afford putting that much money into buying a website. Wanna concentrate on cheaper sites for now. But yeah, neat site!

    Current HIGH OFFER is $2,500 USD (From an offline friend here in Toronto).

    The site just made $8.91 yesterday from Adsense. So as you can see, the revenue is clearly on the increase. If I don't get an offer closer to my BIN of $3,000 USD by Sunday, I'll probably sell it to the current high bidder.

    Don't sell it, wait until I have enough cash to buy it from you... in about 10 months time :p

    The site seems to have a lot of potential, whoever buys it is going to be one lucky person :)

    Current HIGH OFFER is $2,550. Just took latest screenshots of the Adsense stats in high res. PM me to view the latest Adsense stats. September's earnings are up to $99.97 with still over a day to go.

    As soon as the new owner transfers the site off my server, I'll subscribe with a Paypal subscription for $150/month (for the ten text links being displayed site-wide).

    Gathering advertisers in order to generate revenue from link sales is not a trivial matter. People cancell link purchases every month. Changing anchors and link information can be tedious. Here the buyer will have an instant revenue stream from link sales (starting as soon as the site is transfered to another server) which will renew month after month with absolutely no work involved.

    The only reason I'm selling is to gather funds for another more bigger project.
