Selling Social Bookmarking Website For Sell, Alexa 33k, 11K visits Per Month

    Its a social bookmarking website with over 1500+ verified members, active twitter account (@whtsupnet).

    I am a web developer by profession loaded with work and cannot focus further on its maintenance, nor on its possible revenue opportunities. I think Social Bookmarking sites can use AdSense, so if you have one - you can confirm & start using it.

    The site is made with HotaruCMS. Current Alexa ranking is around 33K, Visits per month are 11K, PR is 1.

    Possible Revenue Opportunities
    • Advertisements
    • Text Link Adverts (huge variety of keywords)
    • Featured Listings (Like Reddit)
    • Affiliate Income by promoting various SEO services, Plugins, Software to 1500+ Active Members. (Its up to you)
    What You Will Get?
    • Complete website including Domain Name (you will have to renew)
    • Database backup
    • Custom Theme with related images
    • Logo Vector files
    • Twitter Account use/pass
    • InfoLinks Account
    Web hosting is not part of this deal.

    I will not write exaggerated pitch because, truly speaking I made no revenue from this site (except $10 in InfoLinks account) - but you can buy it if you think you can do it well.

    I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

    Thank you

    1] The site operates very much on its own. User registers > verifies account > gets a member role assigned > submits his or third-party blog/news url > add tags etc & submits the link. People can then vote on this news item if they like it. The new posts gets auto posted as a Tweet.

    2] The entire content is like an Excerpt from the original source, either their own blog post or someone's.

    3] I am not able to give any time recently on maintenance such as doing a clean-up of obscene posts, block those users etc. however, it doesn't eat too much time.

    4] The platform is PHP and CMS used is: BakerCMS (formerly known as HotaruCMS)

    5] Here is a PDF showing last 3 months data. h**p://www.scribd.com/doc/118283406

    1] I would have loved to be able to give my time doing the transfer, but given my current schedule - to be very frank, I can not commit on it. However, I will surely help you out if you feel stuck somewhere in the middle. Which web hosting do you have? Mine is on HostGator.

    2] Methods were nothing extra special. I wrote an email to few blog owner & told them about the site, requesting inclusion of this site in their social bookmarking site list. I spent some time creating links through various blog commenting.

    This site is on a HostGator shared hosting with my other domains.
    Bandwidth usage for December shows: 8.73 Gig in CPanel. And, they never suspended this website for high CPU usage till date.

    However, my other WordPress self hosted blog got suspended once for high CPU usage, but not this site.
