I am selling LinkZip.com.
This is a URL shortener site like shorturl etc.

Domain + developed site
It's custom coded on top of a free template (XHTML compliant).

The website is very easy to use.
Just enter the URL you want to squeeze and click Make short URL.
If you tick the box that reads 'Tick this box if you want us to crawl the URL for validity' the script will first check if the URL is valid (using the cURL extension).
You can enter an E-mail address (optional) to keep track of the URLs.

You receive an E-mail that looks like this:
Hello,

The URL
http://www.google....

has been shortened successfully as follows:

http://www.linkzip.com/18a

Thank you for using LinkZip.com !

http://www.linkzip.com/

The Bulk add feature is not implemented.
There is no admin area.

Note: the script is Unicode aware and capable of handling Unicode URLs like this: http://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/मुख्य_पृष्ठ.
The data is stored in the DB in Unicode format so you need mySQL 4.1 and higher.
There is only one table which contains about 240 shortened URLs.
The table structure is as follows:
Code:
CREATE TABLE `urls` (
  `rec_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `url` text collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `submit_ip` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
  `added` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
  `hits` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  `last_hit` datetime default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`rec_id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci AUTO_INCREMENT=392 ;
The following information is stored:
  • URL
  • IP to track abuse (stored to 32-bit format)
  • date & time added
  • hit counter
  • date & time of last hit - this is to prune unused records

So this is not a finished product really but it's functional and is being used by some people. I have never tried to monetize the site.
I am looking to sell for low $$$.

Requirements:
PHP >= 4.0
cURL extension
mySQL >= 4.1
mod_rewrite

Stats are available here


Update:
$120 offer received.
Anyone else ?
