Selling VoteTags.info - POPULAR Social Bookmarking Website + Domain - Alexa 20,446

    Hi everyone,

    I am selling my website http://VoteTags.info of 2+ years. The site is done in Pligg (http://pligg.com/).

    The site has an Alexa of 20,446 and is getting better every day.
    http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/votetags.info

    It gets new submissions about every 2-5 minutes. It has 300,000+ pages and growing rapidly due to the submission rate.
    http://votetags.info/upcoming

    NOTE: Actual database size is 818MB with 570,000+ Bookmark Submissions. Right now we are displaying 50MB and 1,500 Bookmark Submissions due to server load. You will receive the full database (818MB with 570,000+ Bookmark Submissions)

    I have put about $300 of promotion into it. This was so long ago, probably somewhere around 2 years ago so it's hard to remember. I really didn't do much. I think it was social bookmarking submissions, article submissions, and blog submissions. The site just took off on it's own.

    Promotion is not needed for this site though, this site gains popularity on it's own. It's Alexa rank was 60,000 just 6-8 months ago and is now 20,000, and I never did anything to make that happen. It's just a well known Do-Follow Social Bookmarking site that is constantly expanding on it's own.

    It gets about 600 unique visitors a day with Google Analytics and the rest are quick visits from what seems to be just quick submissions to the site. It is a popular, well known, established Do-Follow Social Bookmarking website. It has an Alexa rank of 20,446. The reason I am selling it is because it is so popular and I can't seem to make a profit from ad-revenue because the users are worldwide and not based mainly in the United States. I'm sure there are lots of ways to make a profit from the site. For example: Someone can start charging for premium listings.

    If anyone needs screenshots of anything, please let me know, all the info listed here is real and true.

    I accept PayPal payment only.

    THIS IS A VERY LARGE DATABASE, YOU WILL NEED A PROFESSIONAL TO SET THIS WEBSITE UP, AND WE WILL DO IT FOR YOU FOR FREE!

    Thanks for looking and happy bidding!

    I am not familiar with social bookmarking websites so I don't have an answer for you. I think 10 is the highest you can get, and there are thousands of members so a lot of them must have a Karma 10. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

    I don't know, the site just keeps growing in popularity and content ever since I owned it. I have not promoted the site for nearly 2 years, and when I did, it wasn't much, around $300 maybe. It has always gotten popular on it's own. The Alexa rank keeps increasing on it's own and you can expect it to be higher in the future. I imagine the Alexa rank will be at 10,000 or 5,000 in another year or so.

    It could be because there is so much great content constantly being submitted every minute to VoteTags.info as well as it already being a very well known and established social bookmarking site and keeps growing because of it.

    Ever since I put up the site for auction on DP Forums, which was a few days ago, VoteTags.info has received 7,200+ new submissions, clearly it is already established and will continue to grow.

    If there are any more questions, feel free to ask.

    Thank you!

    10 is the default karma rating. This means that the account as not got any karma ratings since regerstering. which means NONE of your account holders have. so i am asking are they all fake or spamming accounts???? The other website i sent shows really users have karma of 1000plus - please explain?

    As a matter of fact, the reason for this is listed below.

    1.) Actual database size is 818MB with 570,000+ Bookmark Submissions. Right now we are displaying 50MB and 1,500 Bookmark Submissions due to server load. You will receive the full database (818MB with 570,000+ Bookmark Submissions)

    2.) This means that all the bookmarks that those users have submitted have been removed (for now) which should ultimately make there karma a 10, as it was by default when they registered.

    Obviously, if they were fake spamming accounts, the content on the site would be spam and not legitimate submissions. I don't appreciate your negativity, you seem to have 0 positives and and 3 negatives on your DP Forums account. I would appreciate you not bidding anymore, addictedtotreacle.

    Again, the full database with all info, data, and details will be uploaded for the winner of this auction.

    Thank you!

    This is not about me its about you and what your selling. I asked a very reasonable question. The karma rating seems to show that tehy are not real people on the site, not one 'person' on your site as done any of the following:

    Rated an artical
    commented on an artical
    helped another member.

    these are what increase the karma.

    They are loooads of sites like this on the net claiming to be full of real users and this seems to be one of them.

    All you need to do is provide an explaination as to why your karma is 10 (the default) for EVERYBODY and not in the 100's or 1000's like this site - blogengage.com/topusers.php

    :)

    If those users really aren't active, then they aren't active. This would be obvious and already stated in the first post of this auction that most people just come and submit and then leave. So what are you trying to prove if it's already obvious that most visitors are only submitters? I wouldn't doubt it since most of the users only come to submit and not to hang out... But FYI - I have seen hundreds of comments on the original 818MB database (which will be set up and uploaded to the buyers server) I wouldn't doubt that either since the site has a 20k Alexa which makes it quite popular.
