PR3 Arcade, Fantastic Traffic, Great Revenue Potential!

200+ Members, 1000+ Games, Thousands Of Backlinks, Inner PR, Good Rankings

  • URL: http://www.webgamesnetwork.com/
  • Established: Fri, 21 Dec 2007 13:00:00 GMT
  • Page views/month: 50,000
  • Monthly Revenue (USD): 80
  • Google Pagerank: 3

Description:

This is a free flash games arcade, with over 1000 SWF games, over 200 members, and over 700 Uv's per day.

 

The site runs on a licensed copy of the onArcade Arcade Script which has been modified (which is free transfer, and included!!)

 

Some details:-

  • It has 1k+ games. INCLUDING HIGH SCORE GAMES
  • It has over 200 members, all using a real email address
  • It runs on the onarcade script, with a license included.
  • Already has some nice traffic
  • CUSTOM TEMPLATE

 

Reason For Sale

I am selling because I think I should leave the arcade business, as I've been in it for 6 months, and I have realised it's time to move on.

 

Work Needed

It basically runs itself. It takes like 2 minutes per day to approve comments, links and submitted games.

 

All it needs is a change of DNS, files uploaded, and you'll make cash!

 

Hosting

Any decent hosting could hold this. But, as it grows, you will require upgrades.

 

If you BIN the site, I will move the files over. This may take upto 24 hours, though.

Revenue Details:

There is some nice revenue, and you could make even more.

 

The site makes around $42.00 per month, with AdSense,

 

I earn more money selling banners and gameplugs etc from the site. That revenue I cannot show, as it would be a few screenshots. However, if you PM me, I can show you a couple of screenshots with proof (PayPal)

 

I am not good at earning money from the site, but someone good at that would make MEGA CASH! The traffic is there, all you need is better ads.

 

I have pop-ups on the site, and they pay good (see the CPX screen). But they only show once per visit, but you can change that if you wish.

 

NOTE: THE CPX REVENUE SCREEN SHOT IS AROUND 3 MONTHS WORTH, WITH THE PAGEVIEWS INCORRECT (THEIR SOFTWARE SEEMS TO COUNT PV'S WEIRDLY - THEY GO UP AND DOWN DAILY. I HAVE EMAILED THEM TO CHECK THIS OUT)

Traffic Details:

Traffic comes from other arcades that I trade traffic with, and banner exchanges. I get some traffic from the search term 'Free Flash Games' in Google.

See attached images for some (incomplete) proof.

 

PLEASE NOTE: I ONLY JUST STARTED USING ANALYTICS, SO STATS ARE INCOMPLETE.

 

SITE WAS DOWN ONE DAY, EXPLAINING THE 8 UV DAY!

 

Please PM me if you wish access to the Analytics report (I will give out access, to interested people only.)

    WTF. You want $600 start and $1,100 BIN for a site that takes $750 a day? A years revenue would only be $270, which means it would take over 4 years to break even. Traffic is very low as well, so is the alexa and it's only PR3.

    What is so specially to have such a ridiculous price?

    Calum,

    Its the potential to earn much, much more that you need to know.

    I am not very good at optimization for ad networks, so I make little.

    I will PM you a few PayPal screens that show proof of some more non-network revenue.

    Ah ok, but still $0.75/day = $23.25 in a 31 day month, probably $30 max.

    Its an average of $0.75 per day. That can vary.

    For example, on Saturday I earned $3.27. Remember that AdSense pays bad for arcades.

    Idealy, the new owner would change to ValueClickMedia (which I can get you accepted in)or another high paying network.

    Sometimes Google doesn't even pay 1 cents per click, but it can vary upto $1 and above.

    I know of a way to get into it.

    It was posted at a forum, because the poster knows one of the reps.

    how much do you pay for the dedicated host ?
    is there special feature to run the site ?
    i mean, bandwidth, hard disk capacity, server components, databases...

    actual monthly bandwidth ?

    It is NOT a dedicated server. I pay around $15 for it, and it is truly awesome most of the time!

    It requires 1 MySQL database (which is large), and has used 14.96 GB this month (bandwith)
