UNIQUE MySpace Site | PR4 | ~$300/mo. | Email List

Discussion in 'Sites' started by wmburg, Sep 17, 2006.

  1. #1
    I need to sell a MySpace resource site that I have. "MySpace" isn't in the URL, so you don't have to worry about a cease and desist. Pretty much everything is custom / unique. I originally created the site, because I was sick of all the cookie cutter sites. Inevitably, there are even more now! :rolleyes: Nothing to hide here, so feel free to ask any questions. Here we go..

    Basics
    - URL: http://www.generatorspace.com
    - PR: 4
    - Established: 5/2x/06
    - Monetization: Adsense
    - Revenue: ~$300/month
    - Uniques: 1k/day avg.
    - Views: 3k/day avg.
    - NEVER PROMOTED WITH BULLETINS
    - No paid inbound or outbound links
    - Lots of room to grow


    Details
    Here's everything that I can think of right now

    Traffic Details
    - I don't pay for any of it
    - Mostly comes from Google, MSN, and MySpace Profiles
    - Yahoo is finally starting to pick me up.. slowly but surely
    - I've NEVER/never had sent bulletins out
    - SERPs fluctuated (dropped) a week or so into August. I believe this happened, because I switched hosts. Who knows, but they came back pretty quickly
    - Traffic has decreased some during the last week or so, because I haven't done many updates due to lack of time. School starting back up may also be another reason
    - Stats (BBClone) got reset some how on 8/21. I'm not sure how, and haven't had this happen before, but it did! I started using StatCounter at this point also


    Monetization Details
    - I've only used Adsense which is performing alright
    - If you look around August 28th you will see a big jump in clicks - this is because I didn't have ads on one of the more popular pages
    - I added borders around every ad block a few days into September (on my own -- I have never heard from the Adsense team -- let alone had a problem with them)
    - I'm sure if you know what you're doing with Adsense, you can definitely improve things by working on higher paying ads and smart pricing
    - YPN would probably be pretty sweet to run
    - I haven't done any marketing with the email addresses, but it would be a good idea to


    Page Details
    Custom Surveys
    - I wrote this in PHP/MySQL
    - Users can create a custom survey by entering their own questions
    - ~1650 surveys answered for the -> ~950 surveys that have been created (some dupes)
    - Email addresses for each user that created a survey (some invalids)

    Graffiti Generator
    - I wrote this PHP
    - Uses the GD Library to generate images (most hosts should have this enabled)
    - Users enter text to generate an image using a graffiti font
    - ~3,100 images have been created
    - Average size of image: 3K

    Rate Me
    - I wrote this in PHP/MySQL
    - Users get an image and code to put in their profiles for others to click on to vote for them
    - Example: http://www.generatorspace.com/vote/wmburg
    - ~1,800 total votes for the -> ~450 rated users (some dupes)
    - Email addresses for each rated user for list (some invalids)

    Glitter Graphics
    - Paid for
    - 50 of them
    - Aloha is the most popular

    Birthday Joke
    - I wrote this in PHP
    - Generates a joke based on the users birthday
    - Gives users the code to put their results and a form into their profile

    Top 16 Friends
    - This isn't accurate anymore, but it brings in visitors

    Contact Tables
    - I made them
    - Nothing spectacular
    - I do not have rights to the images that I overlayed the links on
    - Scarface is the most popular

    View Survey Responses
    - Login for users that created a survey to check their results

    Articles (4)
    - All unique
    - None of them have been submitted to directories

    MySpace News
    - Uses RSS feed from Google News
    - I can't make the TCP/IP connection from my host to the RSS feed, so I have a script running on a server at home that parses the feed and generates the HTML to upload
    - All you'll need to do (or I can do) is include the script instead of the text file that I'm uploading


    Other Stuff
    - I usually get 1 email through "contact us" every few days from a user that can't login to check their survey results
    - I'm assuming that PR should be 6 next update - definitely 5 if not


    Reason I'm Selling
    - Some things have come up that I need the $$ for
    - Lack of time to update


    Bidding
    - Starting bid: $500
    - BIN: Undecided right now
    - Offers: Feel free to
    - Ends: Undecided also… middle of this week most likely


    Proof
    - StatCounter: http://www.generatorspace.com/sell/statcounter.gif
    - BBClone: http://www.generatorspace.com/sell/bbclone.gif
    - Aug. Adsense: http://www.generatorspace.com/sell/adsense_aug.gif
    - Sep. Adsense: http://www.generatorspace.com/sell/adsense_sep.gif


    I'll post a BIN and end time when I figure them out. I will also update with anything that i've forgotten. You can PM me with any questions. Thanks!

    Saw those top 15 words, but I was looking for a complete refferer report like what awstats has, or a little extreme tracking.

    I'm still not 100% sure yet.

    Only those origins. I'm StatCounter free, so the referrer report is worthless. The Top Origins in BBClone usually give me a good idea of where people are coming from. The detailed stats from BBClone give me information, including referrer, for the last 500 visitors. I usually look at that if I'm looking to see exactly where someone came from.

    Replied :)
