History
I bought the domain in May 2006 from a guy who made a RSS-reader and stopped his development (I was a client of them) and used it to forward to a friends website, to boots his project. Then used it in 2008 to forward it to another project and in April 2010 I made it into an RSS news-site. After the summer I paid a guy to add content (find content on RSS readers and rewrite it to fit my audience). In that process we split the domain in lots of categories (subdomains).

Income?
Not really. November and December I got some offers for text-link ads and I took those, but I never monetized the site with ads. The site does not have any transferable income and I do not know how to make more off it.

Has some PR6/5 internal pages
PR5 http://opml-generators.activerefresh.com/
PR6 http://rss-guides.activerefresh.com/
Maybe more but I did not find them...

Why sell
I have not figured out how to make money with this website. So if I made money with it, I would not have sold it...

How much revenue was generated from selling those footer links?

 

Hi Cabrelle,

I cannot go into details there since there not included in the deal. You can make your own monetizing plan based on current going rates for text-link ads. I will give you the names, emails, DP names and paid amount on transfer to see if you can start there. If you are interested keeping these people happy and renewing the deals (mostly 6 months and year deals) you have a good start. But there little amount of ads...

So the buyer can remove all the footer text links, correct?

 

Yep you can remove everything, I will arrange alternatives with buyers of these links (I have more sites). But if you want there emails then I will notify them that you will keep them active... as part of your deal. So then the problems and the fixes are yours

 

It's take a really long time to load

 

Ok I just edited the logo to make it 100k lighter and removed the jquery referral it had. Should speed up things a bit.

 

Thank you closedsaturday for the opening bid.

 

Got bid of 1400 usd but since its not open I will not consider it right now. I prefer all open bids here... unless your offering BIN. Then PM is fine ... all lower bids. Please place them here.

 

How is it now?

 

It still takes ages to load, at least to me .

 

u should be telling people , that u buy this domain from parking domain and change the content
i have a proof here http://web.archive.org/web/20070109003154/http://www.activefresh.com/, this to help u again people dispute on the future

 

Thank for the tip if it was true I indeed would tell them this. But go to http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.activerefresh.com and check all dates then the whois on the sites that you see (as I told you I forwarded them)... you will also then see all these sites come back to the same server since there all friends and family properties

I find it interesting the date you pulled up I do not see in webarchive. But anyway good find. If you like add the check I did on whois on date right before you archive and after and you will see all these sites are on my server still

There is no point in hiding things on DP, the truth will always come out. You guys dig everywhere thats why I told the whole boring story ... but the truth. Just because you digged up a archive of one day where I might have moved hosting provider or changed themes does not proof much ...

 

Added the Google Analytics data (just one day) will update during the auction

 

Seems you need to install WP first - I must admit I was tempted to run through the wizard myself!

Once you have a working site - PM me and I'll take a look.
