Please have a view at some stats here http://www.mvtracker.com/stats.php?l=iconrate (slow today, removed stats from my page because of it just a few minutes ago)
http://www.iconrate.com/stats/ - webalizer stats

Since april 2004 this site has consistently received an average over 2000 unique visits/day and is only increasing. At a minimum, 90% of the traffic is from search engines mostly google. I have lost a few places in google during the last serp update (yesterday) so I estimate search engine traffic will go down to about 800 visits/day rather than 1300-1500 this month.

If you're interested in a fairly well established buddy icon site which receives most traffic from search engines please pm or post an offer. I'm entertaining offers over $1000. Feel free to ask any questions I won't bite (this week).
Thanks

please check stats and marketleap and whatever else, I've done alot of promotion for this. If I receive an offer I like I will most likely accept it.


edit: also should mention this is dmoz listed see http://directory.google.com/Top/Comp...r/Buddy_Icons/ 2nd down. I expect within the next couple days to be back in the top 10 for keywords 'buddy icons' as well.

Geez... I sent you a PM last week asking if you were interested in selling Iconrate and you said no, now you are selling it?

Make up your mind, I don't want to waste my time.

If you ARE selling it, what is your asking price based on? Visitors are going down, from 2000 to 800 is a drastic drop. You also link to all kind of "bad neighborhoods", since the site is targeted at young people and it is full of porn links.

I am interested in your site, but I would like to know why are you asking $1000 for it.

Just curious about that video there...isn't that illegal?

[maximumhost]

First off I'm not gonna argue with you. As for the stats for yesterday, my site was down part of the day due to some server problems. This is just one day out of 7 months....

The reason I've changed my mind (I've done so more than once now) is because it makes sense to me now. Last week I thought I would have a house to live in and this week things have changed. Sorry..

As for links going to "bad neighborhoods", there's one link that can be removed..its just there to help the guy out.

$1000 is opening price, not bin. I've been working on this for 7 months and believe traffic has been pretty consistent. The traffic is coming from search engines not links that will go away eventually...this traffic will be there forever without any promotion. 1500 uniques/day by doing nothing isn't easy to come by especially from search engines.

Finally please don't piss on my thread, I've not done anything to you

It's from the movie Desperate Living, that version edited to R rating (us) so to answer your question no this is not illegal.

Good luck with your sale Kris

[Hey]

Ahh you should really take that child porn out or whatever it is (I didn't watch it mind you )

Oops didn't read the other post to good .

[maximumhost]

There's no ads on the site, have 3 paid text links at $40/month each.

[fryman04]

I still don't understand your stats... first you say you are getting 800 uniques, now you say you are getting 1,500, although your tracker shows only 900 yesterday.

Just taking a peek at the latest visitors, seems you are getting many from some gorgasm.com site, a disgusting place that offers beheading videos. What value could these kind of visitors have for an AIM related site???? You are pricing your site because of the visitors it gets, but check out the "quality" of those visits.

You were also getting much of your traffic from Ebaums topsites, but your link was taken down, and we both know why...

No one is "pissing" on your thread, but you need to get your facts straight and any potential buyer should be aware of this.

I expect within the next couple days to be back in the top 10 for keywords 'buddy icons' as well.

I don't think so... guess who took your spot at Google?
That's right... me. I am a professional SEO. Getting your keyword ranked again won't be easy at all.

Oh, well, I will just sit down and wait for the price to start dropping... PM me if you have a realistic BIN price.

[maximumhost]

sigh.
Anyone can see that fryman04 is just jealous competition, right?
The stats show that I'm not relying heavily on ANY links no less goregasm (is it my fault they linked to me?) nor ebaumsworld (received approx 100 visits/day from them for the past month)

fryman04 i pity you and will pray for you tonight. grow up

[stoned]

This is pathetic. Why are you destroying his sell. It seems that it is always the same people who trash talk threads... Pathetic.... Good look on the sale maximumhost.

[Darren06]

What script are you using for the site?

[maximumhost]

What script are you using for the site?

The site is using photopost with vbulletin integration.

[fryman04]

If you were competition, would you need to do what you did with Ebaum and many other sites?

Just a buyers alert... since I don't like cheaters

[stoned]

Cheaters?

This thread is about to out of control..

[Harmonia]

I thought this is a developed icon site for sale. Now it looks like it is a porn traffic site? If it is purely a site for icon visitors, way to go with your sale. I like your domain. I am pretty sure you will do better developing icons then selling the site rather than linking it up with adult links. Wasted domain.

I respect your opinions greatly.
You're probably right, I should never have added the shocking video section...it was just a quick way to receive extra traffic. It'll be removed soon

[fryman04]

I agree, and we are now discussing our issues via PM, no need to make this public.

[xlr9]

Is that child porn?

http://www.iconrate.com/shockingvideos1.php

If it is, it needs to be removed from your site right away please.
