i87.org - free url redirection - $1400 monthly Adsense revenue

[Edder]

Sold.

www.i87.org

i87.org is a free url redirection service and has brought in a large amount of revenue. This site first opened in January of '04 and quickly became a success. However, the previous owner let the domain drop and I was fortunate enough to acquire it. In September of '05, I relaunched a free url redirection service at i87.org. 3 months later, without any advertising, the site is growing fast with 270+ members signed up for the free service.

Domain:
i87.org is registered until January 25, 2007.

Traffic Stats:
Alexa rating: 134,824

A quick overview of the stats in November.
Average uniques: 4309 uniques per day
Total uniques: 129,272 uniques
Average visits: 8000 visits per day
Total visits: 240,920 visits

Proof and detailed stats:
I changed servers in the middle of October so the stats are split.
September - Mid October stats
Mid October - Today's stats

Revenue:
The Google Adsense revenue comes from the ads which are placed in a frame above all redirections.
Example: buyps3.i87.org

December - $385.57 - Screenshot
November - $1407.08 - Screenshot
October - $618.05 - Screenshot
September - $143.83 - Screenshot

In the first week of November, i87.org topped $100 in Adsense on one day only! Apart from Adsense revenue, I have also made $120 from selling 8 $15 text links in October.

Miscellaneous:
-The site used 1.77 gigabytes of bandwith in November.
-There is only 50 mb of actual disk usage & 35 mb of SQL disk usage.
-The script it uses is called Milliscripts and it is free to use. The design is also a free template which I customized to fit the script. However, the logo is 100% custom.
-To run this site, your server must have wildcarded DNS enabled. If you have a dedicated IP address, then you are fine. It will not work on shared Hosting because of the shared IP address.

This site requires zero - little maintenance. Occasionally you will need to activate members' accounts if they happen to not receive the activation email. Other than that, all sign ups are automatic.

Reason for selling: I need start up capital for a new project, domain related.

I am considering offers over $5000. Please post or PM offers. This site is also listed for sale at Namepros & *********.

This sale will be conducted through Escrow with buyer/seller split fee.

Thank you.

Site sold.

The script it uses is called Milliscripts and it is free to use.

I emailed a Google Adsense rep. yesterday to make sure that my site complies with the TOS.

I wrote...

Am I in compliance with the TOS?

Currently, I have placed ad links on my website, i87.org, a free url
redirection service. They appear at the top of the subdomains (i.e.
kazaa-muzik.i87.org), but not on all subdomains. I have turned off ads for
certain subdomains or categories that violate the TOS such as sites in the
adult category and any gambling sites. Also, I do check for sites that
have adsense on their own sites and remove my ads from their subdomain
because only one publisher id is allowed. These ad links are targeted to
the content on the members' sites under the i87.org subdomain address.
