StopBeingBored.com Arcade Site For Sale (PR5, revenue)

Site stopbeingbored.com

An arcade site started in mid January of this year. Has PR5 and everything lower pages, and is well listed in Google.
PR 5 Page (most heavily promoted):
http://www.stopbeingbored.com/game/350/BIG-RED-BUTTON.html

I did not pay for any of the links to get to PR5, they are all from free sources (directories submitted to) and other people posting games on their site (which includes a backlink) and forum signitures (mostly SP and here).

It has the main section (PR5), forums (PR4 - not very popular, 100 or so posts), and a directory (PR4 - once again not very popular, 2 paid links).
Revenue Details (totals)
YPN: $57.28
Google Adsense: $115.67
Link Sales: $295 (2 yearly, 3 monthly)
Directory Sales: $6.29

The site has been open for about a month and a half - making average monthly revenue $202.54 (yearly links are $10 / month, monthly links are $25 per month, YPN + Google is 103.77 per month, directory sales ~$3.77 per month).

Adsense ScreenShot

The site does make significantly more with YPN, but the sites traffic is only about 80% USA and YPN made me paranoid with their bit about loosing funds from non-US traffic / being kicked out of the program, so I stopped using it on the site and went back to Adsense.

I will provide the new owner with the contact details for the link sales if they wish to continue the monthly links (all expire in about 3 weeks). The yearly links must remain on the site for 51 more weeks. The links in the directory must remain there perminantly (2 of them). If you cannot agree to these terms please do not bid.

The site recieved about 115,000 uniques last month, but arcade games are allowed to be remotedly loaded on other sites. The Google Adsense / YPN averages are much more accurate descriptions of the sites traffic monthly. Adsense plus the YPN equals about 260,000 impressions over the month and a half (about 170,000 per month)

Please note on the last day of Feb. I moved the site to a dedicated server, which is the reason for the stats seeming interrupted (while the nameservers where resolving after the site had been backed up and transferred). The site did not experience any downtime.

I will leave the site at it's current hosting for 2 weeks after the purchase date to allow the new owner to arrange for hosting. The domain is registered at Godaddy (free push to your account).

Starting Bid: $500
BIN: $2,000
Reserve Price: Yes

I have purchased the 1750 games for the site (it is run using GSS script) which I have not installed yet. If you purchase the site for BIN I will include all the games and the SQL to add them to the site (costs $390 purchased from the GSS site). This site is running a licensed version of GSS, the license is included.

Payment via PayPal. Please post / PM questions or bids. Thanks for your interest.

 

okey I will start it $500

 

Hey i think its pr4 on few datacenters and 0 on rest.

Yes subpage has pr5 on few datacenters.

I think your threading heading should be "Arcade site for sale PR4 with PR5 subpages"
Anyway cheerz and best of luck with sale

 

If I could edit it I would, sorry for the confusion. The main page is PR4, it has a subpage with PR5, and lots of subpages with everything in between. It is PR4 / 5 as of this update. Seems to me websites are advertised as their highest PR, but please correct me if this is not the way to do it.

 

Also edit your adsense screenshot as its against TOS showing your CTR, CPC .
Just hide them and show the main earning column

 

I always forget about that crazy rule. Thanks for the heads up. YPN isn't the same is it?

 

Hey did you ever apply for tribalfusion and fastclick as you have so many daily unique visitors?
and please pm me keywords by which your site is in top20 at google if you dont want to show it publically.
Thanks

 

I dont know about that(No YPN in India),
Better remove it why take risks

 

I haven't checked all the keywords that I rank top 20 for on Google, but if you take alook at this months AWstats report you can guess most of them just by searching at Google for the terms my site gets traffic for (ie #1 for 'stop being bored', #8 for 'bowman the game', #2 for 'orbox puzzle', #10 for 'bowman flash', #1 for 'red button for myspace profiles' - this covers my top 10 keyword list as far as G is concerned, the rest in the top 10 are either obvious or from MSN or Y).

Feb had 2,191 different phrases that were searched for to end up at the site, going through all of them might take quite some time.

I can post a more detailed keyword list if their is an interest in it.

I have no experience with TribalFusion or Fastclick, so no I haven't tried to put their ads on my site.

Already removed it.

 

Would be great to post link of "Refering search engines" AWstats report.
Thanks

 

I assume you mean for the keywords? Here is the more detailed page that AWstats generates (I believe it still leaves out some of the keywords that only brought in 1 visitor, 1,000+ of those extra)

Ill go $600. Do you have an end date for this one?

 

I'm shooting for 48 hours from now I think. Need the money for rent / bills. I will post 24 hours before things are to end.

 

Are you willing to help moving the site?

Thanks

 

I'll bid $700

 

It's hosted on cpanel, so it is pretty easy to move, but yes I'll give you a hand moving the site.

 

For some reason the site would not show. Still for sale?

 

Site displays perfectly for me. Anyone confirm this?
Yes, it is still up for sale.

 

Forgot to mention, not that it is terribly important, but I did also sell that banner spot for $20 for a month (jan. 26th through feb. 26th). I didn't include this in the numbers above. I have not pursued having it renewed and just left it there for the time being (been a busy week), but I can also give you the contact for that as well.
