Site Earning $4,500+ per month

    We are looking for serious offers for http://4mysql.com.

    The site earned over $4,500 last month, and February has already surpassed that.

    January Sales Report: http://4mysql.com/sales.htm

    The site also earns $2 to $4 a day with adsense.

    The site is 6 months old.

    Google PR4.

    Yahoo have 3,900+ inbound from Yahoo.

    These inbound links will increase - we have been trading gift certificates for links on good sites.

    The site pretty much runs itself - but it would be good to know something about PHP and MySQL to answer customer questions.

    There are over 1100 members.

    New vs Returning Visitors are 50-50 according to Google Analytics.

    As far as marketing, we post specials on two forums and post a tech story to Digg.com once or twice a week. We also email $10+ Gift Certificates to existing customers about once a month. That is all we do to market the site.

    This is a serious web site, making serious money. And it is just now starting to get Search Engine traffic.

    We do not need to sell the web site, so we only want serious offers.

    Is this for auction or offers only?

    This is for offers - but when you make an offer be sure you understand that the site has already made over $10,000 this year. A $100 offer isn't even close.

    you need to give us some sort of idea what you're looking for.

    Why not be up front and give us a starting bid??

    Okay - starting bid is $7,500.

    We also retain the right to reject any offer.

    well if the pace is about $10,000 every two months, what is the value over the next 3 years?? that is how i would price it and sell, i mean if its that consistent than you should at minimum be getting at least what, 25-50,000 i would think.

    the opportunity to really make a lot with that website is real, but too pricy for me now.

    Wasn't this site for sale a few months ago, or did you buy the site a few months ago?

    Our company has been in business for that time.

    And if the site looks bad in firefox - firefox users represents 7.3% of our traffic. But I have seen it through firefox and it looks okay to me. And it apparently hasn't hurt sales.

    The site was for sale in January - but we didn't get a serious bid. And since it was offered in January we have added over 70 databases.

    Fair enuf, but if you are looking for serious $7500 + bids, you might want to make sure it does work in firefox...more and more users utilizing that as a browser specially since MS IE7 runs like a dog..

    Just my opinion of course.

    Thanks for your opinion. The databases are ours - we develop them. We will supply them to the buyer.

    Offer received for $8000

    We are accepting offer through March 5, 2007.

    Check out the web site for updates that have happened since this was first posted.

    We have about 500 new databases still to add - which we are in the process of doing now.

    Mr. Carl is legit but I have some reservations. I'm still trying to get the mysql full us yellow which I order months back. Mr. Carl has tried to help but the size of the file had prohibited him from fulfilling his sale. It timed out last time I tried. It is never worked for 4 months.
    As for the data, it is certainly scraped which means its subject to certain laws and may be cheaper to self scrape. I believe the revenue figures at first glance.

    The data is not scraped - it doesn't even come from an Internet source. It is also public information, so there are no laws to be concerned with. We have been in business since 1993 and are very familiar with what we do.

    This web site has evolved from our core business, and it would be a great business for someone who wanted to work from home. The site's income can be verified.

    As for your trouble downloading - a timeout would normally occur on your end which we have no control over. We have had hundreds of customers download Gigs of data with very few problems. And the problems that are reported are errors in file names, or download quotas being exceeded.

    You can report your problem at 4mysql.com and give your login email for there. And ask for a CD.

    Gloria - LoL.
    So out of your pocket comes 3,000 then if it's making 4500+ a month and you only pay 2,000 a month. LoL. It would be funny if he would do this type of payment plan.
    Go to the bank and get a loan and pay the amount in full and then do what you say with the bank. I doubt that the seller would want to receive a little here and a little there every month while his site is making $4500 +.
