WTS: giant webkinz site: 1,500+ uniques/day

    Hey guys

    In my big server cleanout - I've decided to part with my biggest success to date.

    I am therefore offering the 2nd largest Webkinz community online, with a huge user base powered by Google SERPS and now word-of-mouth.

    http://tinyurl.com/3cggvw

    This site gets between 1,500 - 2,500 uniques/day during the week and between 2,500 and 5,000 during the weekend. It is a Wordpress blog and Forum with over 2,800 members.

    I have also built a large email list of over 2,800 in Aweber.

    The revenue of the site is growing and was at $400 last month, however we have just had 3 days of down time because the stupid hosts suspended my account as the site was frazzling their server. I must warn any potential buyer that since this site is database driven, it really needs a powerful server.

    This means that the revenue this month is slightly less than last month but is looking to be around the $350 mark, through Auctionads, Adsense and Amazon.

    I am looking for a BIN of $3,000 for this and am hosting an auction starting at just $800.

    All payments by Paypal and name with namecheap.

    Auction ends in 2 days but I hold the right to not sell and to announce an early winner if I wish.

    Thanks and PM me if you want more information such as proof :)

    The revenue is from your affiliate style store?

    I really want to get rid of this and am reducing the BIN to $2,500 and the open bid to just $50.

    This site is an earner with a strong and loyal user base. These toys are set to be the most popular this Christmas and so this site could be a super investment for sure.

    Sorry - I should have said:

    Rev comes from Adsense ($160 last month), Auctionads ($90 last month) and the Amazon shop ($160 last month).

    I also built an email list of 2,800+ which can be used for affiliate promotions.

    Hope that's cleared your issue up?

    Thanks why do you think it's too much?

    It's all original content and has a large userbase? I've seen 100X lesser quality sites go for more!

    Thanks - you're the highest bidder so far :D
