    Is the news auto updated, if so at intervals. Also is any revenue associated with this site.

    I will bid $50

    The content is not AUTO UPDATED. It is written content, with the help of two writers and one editor.

    No revenue is attached to this site as I recently added Adsense to it & I have not done any seo. I was planning to launch it in a big way in mid 2007 when I have tons of content in place.

    Will add further bid details to the main post.

    Tell me a bit about how the inbound linking structure came about? Example;

    1) How many of the current lnbound links are paid for
    2) How many were paid blog posts, etc.
    3) how many are natural
    4) What anchor text were you using

    I understand that exact numbers aren't realistic so rough percentages will do. I guess the answer I really want is from an SEO perspective where were you taking this project? What was your original vision and end goal "I was planning to launch it in a big way in mid 2007 when I have tons of content in place." Also the 2 content writes and editor... Are they willing to continue working on the project and at what cost?

    Alot of questions, a high reserve and possibly a viable investment pending your answers... ;)

    ProjectSeo,

    I can't speak from an SEO perspective as my knowledge is very limited in that are. I work in the SEM industry.

    To answer your questions:

    1) How many of the current lnbound links are paid for
    Ans: None, all are free incoming links

    2) How many were paid blog posts, etc.
    Ans: None, I don't believe in paid blog posts

    3) how many are natural
    Ans: What do you mean by natural??? as far i know all are natural, there might be some inlinking, but you could check it on yahoo for only external links.

    4) What anchor text were you using
    Ans: Celebrity Gossip (on about 50 or so inbound links), The name of the site Ballz! has been the predominant anchor text in over 98% links.


    As I said earlier, I am not from an SEO background. What I know is limited. And i stated the facts when I said I have not done any seo for the site.

    My end goal was to make the site tie up with a few studios for content, get entertainment article tie-up with newspapers, and possibly start a Celebrity Gossip Magazine if things work out.

    With regards to the writers and editor:

    As far as the writers and editor are concerned, I can introduce them to the new owner.. and they can come to an understanding.

    I pay the writers about USD 200 each per month, they are based in Sweden.
    I pay the editor USD 250.00 per month, she is based in Sweden too.

    My partner on the site is based in Sweden. And the sale proceeds would be split two ways. My partner has other commitments and that is the major reason I am selling the site.

    Hii Pickled.

    If you read the full thread, you would see that I also stated I would provide further proof stats to serious buyers.. People who bid above the reserve, will be provided with all the relevant stats and details.

    The reason I am saying serious buyers is because I am receiving all sort of queries from people who really arn't interested in buying.

    I hope that would clear all your doubts.

    site looks good but you have a lot of traffic - where is it coming form? Do you have awstats/analytics/any stats program that shows referrer links? Meaning where are people finding your site and how are they getting to it. I doubt 2000 hits are from people typing in a .info .. if you can show that i would be interested in buying

    I never stated all were type in traffic. Most of my traffic is from SE / Social Bookmarking sites.

    I have pm'd you the details for month of Jan. If the referrer information and stuff is okay with you let me know.

    Update: Current bid USD 1750.00 at another forum
    Bin Raised to USD 4,000.00 (upon site Appraisal by an SEO firm)
