Anyone got any? Are they worth it? I'm interested in buying one, so if you got one and for sale, send a PM my way! But otherwise, if you do got any info on whether its worth it or not to run a site like this!
I currently run envy-gaming.com It's a blog I started to talk some aspects of WoW like RMT (real money trading aka selling gold for real money) but it also focuses on all aspects of wow such as news, exploits, tutorials, and a little bit around the popular WOW bot called MMOGlider. Currently I earn a commission through clickbank. I promote all the popular guides like Joanas, Brian Kopp's, Valkors and some of the lesser known ones. I'm also an affiliate with the popular MMO shop called Shattered Crystal. They pay a decent amount per sale. I actually didn't make the website to promote products but more of a personal thing because I really like WoW and play it all the time but the extra income pays for the monthly cost to play the game so I can't complain
I only started my WoW site ( see sig below for link ) a month ago, and I actually think its worth it, I run quite a few sites, one which is a big site, and the WoW one is quite a lot of fun
In regards to World of Warcraft websites please take a look at http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1936163
It used to be very profitable but not so much anymore since there are so many WOW all over the places.
Well Blizz didn't help much by making so easy for players to get gold in the game these days. With just a few professions on a few different characters you can make gold real easy. Then AH troll. But I would say it is still worth it to run a WoW site. Remember the expansion is coming out, so that usually means a big in flux of players scrapping for gold, items, etc..
3 years back WoW was a very profitable niche and I personally had 3 sites back then. I only upkeep 1 now and it's earnings from various channels have dropped by over 80% compared to way back then.
