Selling Arcade Site - $1300 since December

I would like to sell my arcade site- www.arcadeaxe.com This site is monetized by ypn. The site made alot of money back in December when I had the ads right next to the game playing screen but I was asked to remove them when someone on this forum complained about them. The revenue dropped drastically and since then I haven't really tried to make much money off if it. The site made 700 dollars in December.

I bought this site back in December for $3000

I have recently found an advertising method that works very well and have since started making much more money this month- 108$ yesterday.

The reason I am selling is because I want to focus on my celebrity blog and I need some money set aside for employees that I am hiring to help run the site. If your wondering why I dont just continue this campaign and bring in 1500+ this month- its because I am on a tight schedule with my employees and I am going to need the money in my paypal account before the end of June.

I will show the buyer of the site the advertising campaign that I have been using so they can make as much or probably more if they want to.

Traffic -

since I started using google analytics in March-

March-
Average: 5.56 P/V
Visits: 3,472
Pageviews: 19,300

April-
Average: 2.25 P/V
Visits: 2,153
Pageviews: 4,835

And so far this month-

Average: 2.25 P/V
Visits: 2,153
Pageviews: 4,835

Before I started advertising, traffic was coming direct to the website at about 100 uniques per day.

I would like to start the bidding at $500 and BIN set to $1500
winning bidder could remove the bars around the games and start making even more if they want to do so but I will not adjust the bin price for that extra income.

Auction will end within the week.

If you would like to see ypn screen shots please pm me.

Thanks,
Jeff

the guy that was saying we were the same people was the one who told yahoo about that ads next to the games.

If you were wondering why I also own arcadeshrimp.com, Glitchx gave me that site after the huge revenue drop because he felt so bad about thetruth ruining my $3000 buy.

BTW- I will host this site for 6 months free if BIN is reached and can work something out between buyer and myself for the months after. Site is currently hosted on a VPS from Servint.

traffic from march 1st- http://arcadeaxe.com/images/traffic.bmp

I will show referring sources only to the winning bidder otherwize everyone will know of the great traffic source I have found.

What exactly was the truth that ruined your $3000 buy?

 

thetruth is the name of a member on this forum.

he notified ypn about the ads next to the games. He told ypn about them right when I bought the site. 2 weeks later, I was contacted by them and asked to remove them immediately.

 

I'd be willing to start the bidding at $100

 

.....$200 here

 

whats going on with sites for sale on dp these days, I have made a starting bid and you lowball it.

The starting bid is $500

edit- I just checked ypn and the site made 117 yesterday.

 

you made $117 yesterday?

 

yes it did.

May have to raise the BIN if this keeps up.

 

well,let me see some proof of income then..screenshots please

 

sure thing

So can this special advertising method be used with ads other than YPN or is it somehow exclusive to YPN? Also does this method involve paying for any advertising?

 

yea it does cost money, to do this adveritising. I paid 65 for the month.

It may work for other things as well but I have only used it for my one site- arcadeaxe.com
