Offers Web 2.0 Gaming Website for Sale - Making Good Money!

[BLazeD]

Description:

Here are the details of BestofWarcraft.com, a one year old gaming website dedicated to the 10,000,000+ player game of World of Warcraft.

* URL: BestofWarcraft.com
* Established: November 2006
* Uniques/Month: 7,000-14,000
* Page views/month: 30,000-55,000
* Monthly Revenue: $120-$180
* PageRank: 3

This is basically a Digg like news service for World of Warcraft, currently I submit and update all the items and links myself (which is incredibly easy), however the option is there, already coded, for you to turn user submissions on and have it run like Digg. The site is custom coded and designed. World of Warcraft has a player base of over 10,000,000 which is montrous, so the potential is there!

As you would expect it also has a comments system, ratings, etc, etc.

I have not actively promoted the site apart from list it in a few directories and one link exchange, the pages are all SEO'ed and it gets significant traffic from Google and Yahoo especially.

Bonus: As a bonus I will also throw in the affiliate site WarcraftGuides.info. While it has not made any money this month, it usually gets from 0-3 x $15 sales each month. My sole method of promotion is through BestofWarcraft, but you could try Adwords, Adcenter, Yahoo, etc.

This site is listed for sale elsewhere and I reserve the right to withdraw or sell it at any time.

Revenue Details:

Although I have not advertised that I sell them, I get enquiries about selling text links all the time and am currently doing so for 3 different parties at $25 to $30 per month. As you will notice there is also Adsense on the site, and this brings in $40 to $70 per month. Although I have not explored them, mailing list options are also there with the registered users, and you could promote Clickbank affiliate offers more aggresively (which pay $15+ per signup).

I have some questions:

1. If your turn on the user submissions can it be setup to take the submission but not display it until the admin approves the post?.

2. Would your provide assistance in moving the site if any problems come up?.

3. Any reserve price?.

 

[BLazeD]

1. Yes
2. Yes, but it is a cPanel server, so should be very easy.
3. Yes, the site is on ********* too, but the reserve is a bit more than $500 - development alone was near that much I think.

High bid is $700 on SP and reserve has been met!
