I've decided to put this site up for sale. It's been a lot of fun for me but I think my time should go into other projects (plus the extra cash on hand won't hurt :D ).

The site is Farmville Fanatics (dot) com (remove spaces - no dashes etc..) back in February the game passed 80 million users - it is estimated that FV has over 29 million daily users (both dated Feb 20th, 2010).

The site gets over 1,000 "unique" visits a month (except for March)
Year to date:

May 2010:

It's also averaging about $5 a month in AdSense (un-optimized, etc.)

But you can see the past few months it is making about $8-$10 a month.

So far it's made about $3.29 this month.

The domain is registered with Moniker and expires Dec 6, 2010.

With the domain sale you also will get:

  • The actual site (Wordpress w/ template and a database dump)
  • I'll make you an admin of the Facebook page for this site (with the same name w/o the .com) - feel free to remove me after the sale
  • The spreadsheets (three XLS, three PDF)
Most of the traffic comes from either Zynga's Farmville forum (on zynga.com) or though the Facebook group. The forum's management has given permission for this site to be posted in a signature (take that as very good - they deny most).

Keeping the spreadsheets current doesn't take long less than one hour a week - I can even point the buyer to some sites to easily get the information. I don't post often but I've noticed it works best if you post the weekly updates after they're released (usually Tuesday or Thursday).

Right now I'll consider reasonable offers but I'll put a BIN at $300.00 -> $225.00 -> $175.00 (US) at this time - payment can be though PayPal (masspay preferred),

I only ask that the buyer keep the site to the high ethical standard I've had it at (no cheats, no breaking Zynga's rules, etc..). I know I have no say in it but people have joined the group and visit the site for this reason (too many people selling eBooks, asking you to download malware, etc..).

Thank you for looking!
