My car is in dire shape, so I desperately need to collect the down for a replacement. Sadly I'm selling off my entire network of sites. Everything I've been working on for the past year or so is in this offer.
I would prefer to sell everything together in one big sale, but if no one is interested in all of them, I will consider selling them individually.
I have collected and developed these sites over the past year+. They are in various states of progress. Most are listed on search engines and dmoz. The traffic varies from site to site, but in total they generate probably around a 1000 uniques per day.
I just started putting my first ads on them recently. They collect about $2.00 a day in google adsense revenue.
The best part is that each site has a story and I'll try to tell that story for you.

This site has been in operation for over a year. It is a very focused niche and has almost 200 members. That is alot for such a small, valuable niche and there's no doubt this site could be valuable. I have received offers of up to $500 for it in the past. It is well listed in dmoz and other search engines.

This site has been running for maybe a year and a half. It is no longer an active business, but the web forum gets a lot of hits and it gets a bunch of traffic in general. It still even gets an attempted signup or two each month. It is well listed in google. I gave up on the web hosting business because it seemed like too much work for the small amount of money coming in. It makes me appreciate my web hosting company.

This is American Idol fan forum site. I've had this site for about 9 months but it just started taking off since the new AI started. I think in terms of raw hits this probably has the most potential. The show is the #1 show in America and the "official" American idol site is crappy as hell. This site probably gets more revenue than any other as the visitors seem click-happy. Lots of teenage girls on here. I write 2 reviews each week and send out an email each week. It seems to be growing exponentially.

This site has been up for maybe 10 months. I made this small flash game as a lark. Then hired a buddy to make a website for $30. Honestly, this site is ugly as hell and I was considered taking it down several times. But I ended up just leaving it up out of laziness and forgot about it. Well, it got indexed by google and dmoz and time went by. In january I checked on the stats and to my surprise this thing was generating over 100 uniques a day. Maybe a 1000 uniques a month just from google. This made me realize I should never underestimate a site. Sometimes the site you think will do the best does the worst and other times the site you think will do the worst, does the best. The funny thing about this site is that the google adsense ads make money. You can buy seeds or beer bongs. Check out the ads for a good laugh. You also get the flash source for the game and all rights to it. If someone put in some work to make the game more fun then I think it might really take off.

This site has been up for as long as bethedrugdealer. On the other coin, I expected great things from this site. It has a great look. The guy who developed the postnuke theme is top-notch. It has everything you need for a great site. Let me tell you about the site. Star Wars Galaxies is this huge multiplayer online game that came out last spring. While the game was in beta I got the idea to create a site that was an actual newspaper within the Star Wars Universe. This newspaper was called the Galactic Post and actual in game news would be posted by players. Photographers could ever submit pictures via the online picture galley. That was the concept anyway. It got listed on all the Star Wars sites and search engines. And lots of people came to check it out, at first. But no one posted news. I guess they were too busy playing the game. So maybe this was a concept ahead of its time, I don't know. I think someone could have some success doing one of two things with it: 1) Make it a general Star Wars new site or 2) if an actual Galaxies player bought it, make it a guild that players can join - The Reporters Guild, I guess.

This is a site dear to my heart. It is sad that I am selling it. Probably shouldn't. I have been working months and months and months on this hardware console project but probably won't get to finish it because things have changed in my life. I actually have a partially running atari 2600 in hardware simulation. I'm just selling the site though. I'm going to hold onto all the code I've created for the project.

This is a user statistics web site. About 9 months old or so. It is basically a counter site I guess. I spent about $300 having all the php code and the web site developed. It never really took off unfortunately. The cool thing is that for some reason, any site that signs up seems to get google indexed within a few days. So of course I sign up all my sites just for that. There is probably some potential here but it is beyond me. The user statistics are not too accurate for some reason. Doesn't count very many hits. So technology maybe needs some work.

This is a pretty new site. It is currently about 20000 html pages created automatically from a huge list of rss feeds. It has been in operation for about 2 weeks and already some links are showing up on google. I expect next month all 20k pages will index in google so I expect this will be a big money-maker in the future. I built several perl scripts that pull the rss files (20k+), generate the html files from templates (using template-toolkit) and copy the files over. Basically instead of replacing the existing html pages, I will continue to add about 20K more pages every week or so. So at the end of year I expect to have 1 mil of fully google indexed pages of content on this site. You get all the scripts and everything to automate the processing of the site. Only html + perl scripts used.

This is a site I have not finished. I spent several hundred developing the website. There is even a custom admin interface. The idea was to create a site where wireless game developers could get their games published cheaply and easily and maximize their percentage return. There is even a forum for game developers all set up. I was thinking about having contests and that kind of thing to get the membership going. But I haven't had time or the inclination to keep working on this so it sits there unfinished sadly. For some odd reason, I prepaid the domain for 12 years!
All domains are held with godaddy. All sites except for smartdigest.com are run on a shared web hosting server for about $25 per month. SmartDigest is on its on server right now because I expect the size to get huge in terms of pages and disk space.
So that's it. My entire collection, and the story for each one. Please PM me your bids. I'd like to get rid of these and get my cash by the end of next week. All reasonable offers considered.
