    Up for auction is a terrific site with more potential in the web template and graphics design world than I know what to do with. This has been a fantastic site to work on and to learn from - but sadly, web templates are not my niche.

    This is a unique opportunity for the right person to jump in and start pulling traffic to it right from day one. Would also be good for one of those template sites that offers some free templates but sells them also. If you are a developer or graphics company you'll see the potential this has... and you'll see even more potential when you look at the keywords WebTempleX dominates...

    THE STATS

    http://www.WebTempleX.com has:
    1. Solid PR3 and will possibly go to PR4 or 5 in January
    2. Solid PR2 inner pages - too many to list
    3. Alexa Rating of 373126
    4. A Fully featured and all original content blog
    5. 14097 Backlinks (so says backlinkwatch.com -but there are prob more)
    6. over 100 pages of content all optimized
    7. Traffic Growth
    8. Adsense Growth (if you want it...but it appears to be doubling)
    9. Over 500 Templates and every one of them has been cleaned and labeled with WebTempleX.
    10. A number of graphic images (Google "footer images" :D)
    11. 1 Product (http wysiwyg creator) that has sold and also includes a good upsell
    12. 1 Product (image & graphic pack)
    13. Comes with 2 additional domains: WebTempleX.org and WebTempleX.net
    14. Comes with hosting which is good up until February 19, 2011. It is being hosted with Startlogic and includes:
      • Unlimited Bandwidth
      • Unlimited Storage
      • Unlimited Domains
      • Unlimited Email Accounts
      • 25 MySQL Databases
      • 365 24/7 Live support with Tech Support 800 #
    15. Once purchased I will hand over the user name and password to the owner. There is simply too much data to be moved - this will be buyers choice. I can zip everything and allow ftp access to download but it will take a while to download... why I thought it best to simply hand over the hosting account.

    I think this site is designed more for someone who has templates of their own they are selling or for the hardcore Adsense / Clickbank person - this is simply not my niche and my testing is complete.

    This site has picked up in the past few months due to some clever styling as well placing ads in certain places. Some of the ads have done well but this site was for testing - so the sales are hit and miss ... then of course hit hit hit - but it has always changed and grown and expanded. I included a couple of products for direct sale and have sold a few copies since their inception. 3 copies to be exact. I dont think it merits enough to make me go get screenshots of 3 whole sales.

    Adsense - is on the site,and again - used this site to test certain functions and theories based on the type of person that visited the site - as you see it now is how it will perform well. Last month WebTempleX did $21.94 and has doubled from the previous month and will more than likely continue at that pace or at least remain the same. A real Adsense warrior will more than likely work this site for its true value more than me using it for testing.

    But, this site wasn't supposed to be about Adsense - it has everything to do with the ability to promote Image sets and Website templates. Adsense was a test to see how else to add more feature. But... here are the stats anyhow -

    Adsense For 6 Months - you can see where I was moving certain blocks around and trying other ads -
    1. November 2010 - $21.94
    2. October 2010 - $14.92
    3. Septembre 2010 - $10.22
    4. August 2010 - $12.88
    5. July 2010 - $21.36
    6. June 2010 - $4.92

    Traffic - it has steadily increased. Of course took a little dip in Novembre with T-Day but the US traffic is fairly good and continues to climb as shown in the image below. Let me first explain what you are looking at:
    1. reworked the site and forgot to put analytics on the pages.
    2. I remembered this time but added the ## from another site by accident.
    3. Weekend dips are always the same
    4. This was Thanksgiving in the US

    But, you can see the traffic is steadily climbing - (the Search Engine % is higher for Novembre - was 63%) -

    The site does include a full blog. As well some good material within it. It does include an autoresponder but I never really gave it much thought as it wasn't one of my goals to build a list for this site. There is a small list and I will give that to the new owner. Unsure how good the list is as I never sent anything out on it.
    I did have the blog separate at one time and it was located at WebTempleX.net - I simply forwarded the domain to the new blog directory. I have since changed the theme just goofing around - it was on Arras theme and could go back - I just couldn't find the time to enter all the images it required. At the time I moved it last month - WebTemplex.net was a PR2.

    Keywords: This is where it gets interesting - - If you are in the graphics and template market - this will certainly appeal to you.

    I own the term "footer images" out of 123,000,000 pages - I am #1 and #2

    Some other choice keywords on page 1 of Google:
    free footer image
    free header images
    free colorful templates
    free bright templates
    free web sales page
    free holiday website templates
    free unique templates
    button conversion
    arrow bullets
    testimonial image
    ...plus many, many more!

    "Search sent 5,656 total visits via 2,747 keywords"


    Any additional questions please PM me or leave them here for all to see.

    As well - if you think you can JV the site - let me know. I'm interested to hear ideas or options. Either buy the whole site, pay half down and JV with me - or I will accept payments and can put you on a schedule - I'm pretty flexible and can work with most people.

    Please read the details again - its not about the "rev" - this site has nothing to do with making piddly ad $$ - this site is meant for designers selling themes and graphics. The above was simply to test traffic for the types of people visiting and what they were doing - again, the core focus is selling graphics and templates. Get past the acorn and you'll see the forest -
