Proxy site with over 50K uniques daily!

    This is an old and established proxy site with roughly 50K uniques daily! I had it for sale once before and the person who bought it could NOT keep up with the traffic so I bought it back (and, made a profit).

    The domain at www.stupidschool.com and the script/template is for sale. (The script and template are free, just modified). The script has an added custom mod to block anyone using the proxy without seeing your content.

    I must advise you that this is a HUGE bandwidth site. More traffic than a hosted server can handle.

    I stongly advise that if you want this site you be on a dedicated server with lot's of RAM and at least a 100MBit pipe.

    This site get's over 1/4 million pageviews daily and over 1/4 million raw hits daily, so be ready for the flood of traffic.

    My selling price is $1000 flat and payment is to be via paypal to a verified account only. I will need to be able to telephone you at the verified address to consumate this sale.

    Since I will be getting the same questions, here is some additional info.

    I bought this domain and script from a business associate 2 1/2 months ago (along with a few other domains).

    I run it on a dedicated server at PixelFXSolutions on an Intel Dual Core Processor, 2.8 GHz with 2GB RAM and with a 100Mbit pipe.

    It uses around 50 - 100 GB Bandwidth PER DAY!!

    You should notice that the majority of traffic comes from direct clicks and/or bookmarks. This is a very old site (in net terms) and is very well known.

    The adsense revenue is peanuts. It only made about $60 last month. That's on the default setup.

    With this amount of traffic (and it doubles during school months) it shouldn't take a genius to figure out how to capitalize on it, if you've got the time and inclination to do it.

    I am NOT selling revenue. I haven't done anything to boost or make the revenue spectacular. It is a sale for a HIGH-TRAFFIC site and YOU figure out how to capitalize on it. All I did was put a few banners on it to my game and video site so I could siphon off some of the traffic.

    I have posted stats from noon today at:
    http://www.stupidschool.com/stats/stats1.png
    http://www.stupidschool.com/stats/stats2.png
    http://www.stupidschool.com/stats/stats3.png

    and, for those that are bound to ask, revenue stats for July.
    http://www.stupidschool.com/stats/revenue1.png

    Please, I know there are a load of you folks who are going to tell me the error of my ways and how domains are sold at 10 months revenue, etc., so save your breath. I know all of that. My offer is to the right person who can make use of those visits and capitalize on them. No more.

    I might be interested, but could you explain where you're getting your stats from?

    Alexa says your site's ranking is only 168,777, not 16,898.
    http://alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?url=http://www.stupidschool.com/

    For a site with so much traffic and that's established, it's a surprise that it only has 48 links according to backlinkwatch.com and that it is only PR 1.

    Do you have any stats besides Awstats or Webalizer? Both are known to grossly overestimate stats for proxies. Both stats programs do not display accurate bandwidth measures, either.

    Hopefully these issues can be cleared up for the good of prospective buyers.

    Also, awstats are not accurate at all for a proxy. As a proxy owner, I would expect you to know this. Can you provide reliable stats?

    What I find a little weird is the site has only 70k adsense impressions for July according to the screen shot

    If it is true that you get 40k UVs daily, your impressions should go like 40kx30 for the month of July. ;)

    I'm quite interested in this if you can provide accurate pageview figures - it's usually at around 9-10:1 if using awstats. Which means something may not be quite right with the awstats? (not saying it's your fault or anything, awstats and proxies just don't go together very well, would just like to figure out what's happening with traffic)

    I am sure he / she is it's been less than 24 hours some people can only get on at curtion hours.

    I believe the sql is to force you to look at the content if i read right yet it seems to have glitchs.

    Sorry, I missed a digit in the original post. You are correct, as of today Alexa rank is 168,777.

    Can't answer to the backlinks. I don't develop it and i don't work on it. I just own it. I bought it as part of a package, sold it, re-bought it and will re-sell it.

    As the owner of Web Media Projects, Inc. (www.webmediaprojects.com) I do not have the time nor inclination to run a proxy.

    The only stats I use are the ones supplied on the server. I've tried to implement statcounter.com and have it on my front page, and, yes, it does vary wildely from the AWStats count.

    I have a custom made MOD to block people stealing bandwidth and trying to bypass the sites content. It uses MySQL. when the site is flooded the connect error happens.

    How would you expect me to collect the second half? Would I simply trust you?

    PM me with answers, since DP gave me three infractions for "bumping" my thread when I answered the last series of questions.
