HotProxies.info - PR 6 leading top site w/ Revenue!!

[Tekime]

** Reduced BIN

After much consideration, I have decided to sell the last of my big top sites, the PR 6 top site flagship - www.hotproxies.info. This is my last big chunk of the proxy market.. I can't even sum up the potential and current weight of this site if you're interested in proxies.

Currently 221 Google backlinks, 5,660 Yahoo backlinks, 682 MSN backlinks. We receive new members every day, and every member puts a link back to the site. Tons of growth potential, tons of weight, and a market leader.

If you have anything to do with proxies, you've heard of us.

Last month: 2.6 million hits, 1.3 million pages served, 200,000+ visitors, 90,000+ uniques, 20,000+ unique full page views. (see below for details on stats).

HotProxies.info earned $150 in March despite huge sporadic downtime and no link sale promotion. On a stable server with text link sales monthly revenue should be $250-300. (If you're promoting text link sales and know what you're doing, you could potentially sell another $50-75 per month).

YPN ads have been twice as profitable for me on most proxy sites, and a lateral move for others. Currently using AdSense, but YPN will probably earn better.

Downtime has been a result of too many web sites running on my VPS, and no time to fix it. HotProxies is extremely busy but should run just fine on a fair VPS.

This sale includes the custom design, logo, name, content, and PR 6 domain.

I'm looking for a quick, friendly sale so I can close down one of my servers and focus on my new business.

Traffic comes from direct referrals, search engines, and type ins. Stats logs show a lot of uniques due to the custom button request setup. I estimate unique full page views at about 20-25,000 per month, and pages at 50,000+ (screenshot).

Auction Details

This is an auction, and it will end on Sunday, May 7th 5PM EST or at BIN. I reserve the right to change this date, but I'll update this thread if I do.


Since my last four proxy/top site auctions have ended at BIN almost immediately, I suggest you let me know if you are interested at BIN ASAP. I feel the prices are very fair for both parties, this site is a gem.

Even at BIN this is an awesome investment for someone; it breaks my heart to sell this site and I will only be selling at the right price.

Winning bidder gets all site content, domain name, and should be prepared to pay via PayPal immediately, unless other payment arrangements are made.

** This auction has a reserve

** Minimum bid increment of $100.

Starting BID: $1,500

BIN: $2,800

Highest bid is currently $2,000.
