Description:

This is an arcade games and videos site, also has a page with pc tv channels integrated.

The arcade has been up for a year. I did nothing with it for the first few months, and only started to promote the site early this year. The site now has risen to PR3 and has over 25,000 backlinks showing in Yahoo. The site generates a lot of extra traffic with a thumbnail plugging script that sends traffic to sites that trade on a 1 for 1 basis, multiplying the traffic substantially.

The site runs on a licensed copy of PHP Arcade Script, with a custom template and many modifications to make it unique. Among them are a custom traffic trading script that makes it easy to create a thumbnail plug to another arcade in a matter of seconds for easy traffic trading. Adding content is easy through the admin panel, and finding content is easy. I will gladly tell the new owner good sources of content.

Details:

  • 369 registered users
  • over 3500 flash games and videos already installed
  • Traffic trading script
  • PC TV Page


Traffic Traffic is at about 400-800 uniques per day. Most of this traffic is return traffic, and this is multiplied with the game plug system. I have purchased traffic in the past with great results and I can provide the new owner with a nice list of solid inexpensive traffic sources.

Revenue 3 month revenue will be skewed as I purchased traffic for the site, I have very little of this type of traffic coming to the site in the past month and the attachments will be for this period. If you would like more information on past revenue please pm me for details. The following details are for the last 30 days.

Adsense $42.00

Adengage $72.00

Adtoll $3.00

Big Fish Games
(affiliate) 9.75

Total revenue 127.00

 

Why I am selling? I have one to many websites to keep up with, I have since started many new projects and now have to clean out my closet. This is one that has great potential, but I just don't have the time to invest in it. The iste needs some attention to SEO an area in which I lack any knowledge and capabilities. WIth the current amount of backlinks, just optimizing the pages would do the new owner well. I can't be of any help in this area as I have no clue about SEO.

Hosting Needs. Currently being hosted on a shared server through Hostmonster. You will need plenty of space to hold all the games. and videos. Since I started advertising the site, bandwidth has varied from around 20gb to as much as 125gb. I can not host this site after the sale, you will need to find a host for it.

Please PM me with any questions you may have. If the revenue and traffic screenshots are not up yet be patient I am adding them shortly after entering this into auction.

    You say it's a custom template.

    But this site looks very similar: http://www.goarcading.com/

    Sorry for the mis phrasing the template was initially created by Big Dog templates, all of the images have been redone since the initial templating. So it is an aftermarket template that did not come with the script. Price for the template was 50.00 initially. All the images of the template have been redone by myself. So the layout (with exception to the traffic thumbnail script) is not unique, the images are. I hope that clears it up.

    To answer your question on the paid traffic, about 4000 of the UV in the google time period are purchased visits. Cost of about 40.00. The preceding 30 days to what I am showing I purchased a lot more, and had quite a bit more revenue. I dont want to misrepresent the site, so I am only showing the current easily maintainable revenue.
