www.FateExchange.com - Unique 'Missed Connection' Site

.NET Custom coded, well designed, needs marketing and knowhow

Description:

This auction is for the site www.fateexchange.com. In the words of the site itself :

Missed Connection Classifieds. Fate Exchange is a website devoted to reconnecting people. People who were, maybe, too shy or too slow to ask for a date, or a phone number, the first time they met someone they liked.

Now, I have coded this site top to bottom myself a few months back when I had lots more time. Unfortunately I do not, now, have the time or money to market it. I honestly don't want the time to go to waste as I really do think it has monetizing potential, hence me offering it to anyone that is interested in taking it further.

As I have literally designed and written the site and nothing else, it currently generates no revenue and has little visitors. I'm hoping one of you experts can turn that around for very little effort.

Please take a look and I look forward to answering any questions.

    Hi, interested in your website:

    How many listings does this website contain?
    I realize traffic isn't a big thing here but if you could, could you provide me with the current statistical data of the site? Including sources and traffic for at last few months or just what you can give me; not a big deal.
    Have you tried advertising this website?

    I appreciate it, good luck, and thanks.

    @Alfredn - I have uploaded an Analytics screenshot showing, basically, nothing much happening at all. Like I said, I literally haven't done any marketing or spent any money. I was intending to advertise the site on Facebook to a UK Pub/Club audience but was repeatedly declined for unknown reason.

    There are only 22 listings on the site, mostly created by myself and friends to start filling the database.

    @ Koderius - I've PMed you.

    Some of you may think the BIN is a little high. I believe it is justified as the site has potential. Dating \ flirting articles, success stories can increase content\keyword.

    I had planned to add a feature where a registered user could receive notifications when someone posted and mentioned their favourite haunt (a Pub\Club for instance). I was also planning to design a Mobile version. Unfortunately I have not had the time to do any of these things.

    Cheers.
    Nick

    For all you cutting edge developers...

    Facebook have just launched Connect which is their version of OpenID. Fate Exchange is the perfect candidate for this and would make it a very convenient and very attractive site. You'll blow the Competition out of the water!

    If Fate Exchange doesn't meet it's reserve I shall be doing this myself !!
