    I fogot to add.... The first .pdf file has a break down of cost and expenses to run the websites also. The second .pdf file shows screenshots of the income generated. I really hope that you guys take the time to look at the websites also and click on the URL's, as it will give you a better understanding of what the websites offer.

    The reason for selling. I want to invest a chunk of money in real estate. :-)

    "The second .pdf file shows screenshots of the income generated". Please note that the financial stats shown is combined income from aawebmasters.com and worldwidewebawards.net. I just wanted to clairfy, as I know that question will be asked. :-)

    I would like to add something, without giving away ALL my marketing secrets. :-)
    There is a HUGE MARKET involving WEBMASTERS (look at sitepoints success and many other websites relating to Webmasters). Look up the Google results for "Webmasters". There are 70,600,000 results!
    My website at: aawebmasters.com (American Association Of Webmasters) has held FIRST PAGE RANKING, in Google and many other major search engines, for over 3 years, using keyword "Webmasters" and another being keyword "web awards". (for over 5 years). The PR7 is a bonus and it took years to achieve the established back links. I have never paid a penny for advertisements or link exchanges and got to the top with my own SEO skills.

    My other PR6 website at worldwidewebawards has held FIRST PAGE RANKING in Google for over 5 years. (keywords = web award or web awards).
    There is a lot to be said in a domain name (TLD), as well as the title of your website or company name! Anyone with great business sense, has time to devote to the website and business and knows the Webmasters Market, could easily turn these websites into Gold mines! The ranking for these websites and establishment is already there!

    Your awstats traffic image in the PDF file for aawebmasters.com is showing a decrease in traffic each month since the start of the year?

    Google is only saying you have 274 backlinks link:aawebmasters.com and 580 pages listed site:aawebmasters.com - this is nothing near what you have claimed?

    Yahoo is showing 439 inbound links, what have you based your 61,957 backlinks for aawebmasters.com info on?

    No offence but I highly doubt you will get what your asking for this site.

    Try using Alexa traffic, which shows the increased traffic. (210,468 traffic, which has risen.) http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/aawebmasters.com. Also try using Yahoo and MSN, as well as maketleap.com and urltrends.com to determine the back links. You will get different results for each. But all, that shows thousands of back links.

    The "274" back links you are mentioning only show Google back links ONLY. (Not other major search engines included.) Traffic and back links will depend on which website traffic ranking service you use to check the back links (You will get different results with each, as not all show ALL major engines, beyond Google.) Google doesn't own the Internet "yet."

    Are you trying to determine the back links or traffic? I have been totally upfront to the best of my knowledge and use several tools to get the results. Which again, you are paying for more then the stats, but high PR websites, back links and other stuff mentioned above. I have taken "screen shots" of the tools that I have used. (screen shots, do not lie).

    I have based the traffic links by using page domain page rank, link popularity check and other tools on the Internet, (you will get different results with different tools and websites used, to determine traffic and links) beyond the awstats. With all them, the page rank still remains the same. A PR7. If you want increased traffic there is much you can do and pay for advertising the website, which I have not done. (But still, the website has first page ranking for "Webmasters" in Google and still has a PR7 rank.) Do you know anything about SEO?

    Have you gone to Google and type in keyword: "Webmasters" and see what results come up in the front page? Have you typed in "web award" and see the results on the first page in Google?

    PS Try using other tools then "Google" in your search results. Google, doesn't own the Internet "yet"

    Thank you for your comment and Best Wishes.

    Donna

    Thanks but I trust google and yahoo more than any other search engine or service and to be honest if your going to be aggressive like that when interested parties ask about stuff then your not going to get so far,.

    http://maketleap.com/ - I seriously hope you have entered this URL wrong because this is an affiliate website with pure google adsense content.

    http://www.urltrends.com - this still does not give anywhere near as many back links as you have claimed

    Hello justPHP,

    aggressive? I was trying to be helpful.
    I ment to type in marketleap.com. I apologize for the typo.
    urltrends.com also shows the "overlap" backlinks, you may have overlooked. But I honestly think urltrends is the least accurate. On the .PDF file, I also took

    AAWebmasters seems to be PR6. I assume this is a recent change?

    Hello everyone,

    Since the auction is coming to an end soon and everyone keeps asking for the reserve price, I wanted to let you all know that the RESERVE PRICE is 72000.00. (72K) For all of the websites listed above. Two which are very high ranking (great domain names) and took years to achieve the thousands of backlinks. I most likely will not re-list this auction.

    Have a great weekend.

    Good luck with the sale Donna! I figured I'd chime in with my 2 cents...

    There's MANY quality assets with this network. I would also point out that this domain is "sitelinked" in Google, not something that is easily obtained, along with the PR7.

    There's tons of potential here.. in the right hands that $72k could be recouped in MONTHS, not 4 years.

    Hello everyone, thanks for the positive feedback from most of you. I have decided to end this auction early, since no one has even come close to the reserve price. I will most likely not be re-listing this auction anytime soon.

    Some comments were very rude on here and I had to delete several, including my responses back, which I feel was a waste of time. It doesn't make the seller look good, but then again, I don't think people should put their negative two cents in, unless they are interested potential buyers. This was my first auction and quite an expierence. Sitepoint is a great place and resource for webmasters. I'm sure I will use their services in other areas.

    Best wishes to you all.
