Description:

Here are the details of MyWoWCard, a website that automatically creates custom signature cards for players of the 10,000,000+ player game, World of Warcraft.

What It Is

The site is 100% custom developed and allows users to automatically create cards that display their character attributes within the game. They can choose any stats they want to display, what template to use, colors, etc. Unregistered site users can create cards freely too, but they are unable to choose which stats are displays (defaults are shown instead).

The site also contains leaderboards that show the top characters with the best stats, i.e. the most HP, DK's, best 2v2 ranking, etc.

All the information is taking from the World of Warcraft Armory here - http://www.wowarmory.com/ - automatically. All cards are also updated automatically via a cron script so as the players character developers in-game so does their card automatcially update on the site.

They then use these cards in forums, on MySpace, wherever they want.

Self Promoting Viral Marketing

All the backgrounds contain the text MyWoWCard.com on them, so every time someones sig is displayed then you are getting free marketing! A minimum of 60,000 sigs are displayed each day, with it usually going over 100,000 - the potential is huge!

Admin Backend

The admin backend allows you access to the thousands of registered users (read: emailing marketing, if you want), allows you to upload new backgrounds/templates and decide what text/stats you want to appear on them and where (x,y) co-ordinates, and more. Basically everything is customizable.

Promotion

I have not actively promoted the site aside from posting in forums on occassion. I haven't even listed it in directories or done link exchanges!

Selling Why?

I am selling because I have made the choice to get back into the workforce. You can see I sold 3 previous websites over the past couple of months - see auction #19709, #19638, #22056 - all buyers have been satisfied!

Try the Site

Head over to the World of Warcraft forums and grab someones player nickname and their relam and start creating cards for their character! http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/board.html?forumId=10001&sid=1

Other

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

Revenue Details:

The Adsense stats for April are attached. You need to bear in mind 2 things when reviewing these:

  1. April is one of the worst months for advertising revenue (start of the financial year for a lot of businesses).
  2. You can make A LOT of money selling text links to gold and strategy sites, I intended to do this, but have run out of time waiting for the site to get some decent PR. I do have a list of 5 or so websites who have bought links on my other WoW sites this and can possibly give this to you.

Traffic Details:

Please see the attached screenshots for traffic numbers, referers, countries, etc. They are the traffic stats since part way through April, I changed hosts part way through the month, but the numbers have been solid for a long time now.
