Description:

ChunkyPop.com
This is an arcade games\funny pictures\videos site.

The domain was created in 2004 and the site has always been an arcade type site. 

The current design is custom done and the whole thing runs with a customized\modified version of Top Media Script.  There is a full administration back-end where media can easily be added or approved if users submit it. 

Specs:

  • 306 registered users
  • 1549 flash games
  • 1321 funny pictures
  • 68 music videos
  • 22 funny videos
  • 1 custom game (see below)
  • 1 licensed LED scroller (see below)

Notes:

Custom Flash Game - I created a custom game about a year ago for the site which can be found here: http://www.chunkypop.com/games/Punch-the-cut-off-bloody-nasty-head -- Other sites can embed the game and it has links leading back to ChunkyPop.com.  Because of its "horror" nature it does generate interest and traffic when shown on other arcade sites.

LED Scroller - There is an LED scroller sign that I created which can be found here: http://www.chunkypop.com/led-scroller -- In case you're wondering, I created that scroller about 2 years ago and sold the rights to it to blipsy.com and the one here on Chunkypop is fully licensed for use on the site.

Traffic - Traffic is at about 2800 uniques per month average over the last three months and can easily pick up with just a little effort.  I get email all the time from people wanting to do traffic trades but quite often I forget to even follow up on them.  There is definitely interest there from other people but my own life doesn't allow me the time to deal with it.

Revenue - There have been times when I ran AdSense on the site as well as other ad programs, and done decently with them.  I have nothing on there now as I took off ads almost a year ago and in that time have rarely gone back to do much with the site aside from approving user submitted games and pictures.

Why am I selling? - Anyone who recognizes my username knows that there was a time when I was running a lot of sites and occasionally selling the high traffic\revenue ones here on SitePoint.  Over the last year or so I've mainly concentrated on a select few sites and for the most part I have other people running them for me.  I have a bunch of sites and domains that are really cool but I just don't have time for anymore.  I will be listing some of them here and elsewhere over the next few days.  This is one of them.  I'd rather see someone else get them and make them shine than hang on in the hopes that some day I'll find the time to devote to them.  I've been hanging on to Chunkypop for four years and it's time to let this one go.

If you have any questions please ask.  Again anyone who has dealt with me here knows I'm always happy to help new owners with the sites I sell.  Speaking of which, I will transfer the whole site to the new owners server and set it up for them.  All you really need is php, mySQL and at least 1GB of space on your server, mostly for the games and pictures.

Please note that the winning payment must be sent within 24 hours of winning the auction.  If you plan on winning and then PMing me to ask if you can have a few weeks to get the money together, it's best not to bid.

    Silly question, but just to double check, is the domain name included in this sale? How long is it registered for and with whom? Please also pm me the bin. Thanks.

    Thanks for the comments everyone.

    First, the site is not banned from AdSense. There's no reason to assume that just because there's no AdSense on there it's been banned somehow. You can see on this page: http://www.chunkypop.com/adsense.html that AdSense does indeed work just fine. I've stated in the description that there is no revenue for this site, and I'm not attempting to sell it based on that lone criteria.

    There's no BIN yet. There's a low reserve. Bid what you think the site would be worth to you and if it meets the reserve and you're the highest bid then it's all yours.

    The domain name is included in the sale. As stated in the sub title it's a four year old domain.

    I apologize for not answering comments and PMs more frequently but SitePoint is not loading very well for me today (Los Angeles area) for some reason.
