Websites For Sale

**EGS** · 01:59 PM

Hello,

I am saddened to even think about posting this, but I am economically desperate. For possible sale is a current network of video gaming websites.

(This sale is for the entire network ONLY. No individual sale!)

Network Sites:
VideoGamingNetwork.com - Main network homepage. The site holds a Google PageRank of 4, but currently is not finished. I will finish it for the buyer. It *was* finished until it was accidently deleted on both my server and hard drive.

I integrated a directory script along with the site for future network sites to be listed in. You can see that here

Network Forums - This is the network forums. Currently the forums have over 100 members and over 1,000 posts. Check it out for yourself.

It's a gaming community, and it is active. It also comes with a unique design that fits the network homepage. Powered by IPB. If you put ads in the forums, I think that you'd make a lot of money. A lot of the traffic comes from Google.

BoldGamers.com - Multiplatform video gaming site. This site covers a large arrange of video games from news, previews, and editorials to reviews.

This site comes has a Google PageRank of 5, and has over 75 news articles, 22 reviews, 5 previews, and 3 editorials. ALL are uniquely written by myself or staff members.

The site is powered by a CUSTOM CMS, and is also optimized for search engines. Pages are in .html via .htaccess mod_rewrite. CMS has a frontend and backend.

Through the CMS, staff or yourself can place articles live onto the site. The CMS is custom. You can insert news, reviews, previews, and editorials along with editing and deleting them. I also recently added an upload form that allows you to upload pictures and any other type of media file to insert into articles. It'll generate a code.

This site generated $1.12 one random day from a click on a banner ad. Google Adwords would be a LOT better for this kind of site. (It's focused on content)

I'm not giving a demo of the CMS. Screenshots upon request, I guess.

VGKING.com - This is a video games cheat site. I think that the name is quite good for this type of site. It's just a coincadence I have the same username.

The site is prestocked with over 30,000 cheat codes for over 5,000 different games. You can add/edit/remove cheats and platforms within the cheats administration panel.

This site is also SEO and all pages are .html from mod_rewrite in the .htaccess file. This site has made be about $2.00 using ClickSor. Imagine how much you could make using Google Adwords!

No demo of the CMS, sorry. Screenshots upon request.

- This is an MMORPG website that sells virtual currency, items, and accounts. I will include an FFXI game account along with the game for this site so that you can sell the virtual currency the character has on it, and then sell the character.

Currency the character has on it is worth about $200 right now, and the character is worth at least $50.

I receive submissions from the contact form all the time from gamers. This site isn't that popular, but definately gets targeted visitors.

Through referral links alone, I have made $4.51 from this website. (197 clicks and $40 in sales. This affiliate pays 11% of each sale commission.)

All the sites I am selling are UNIQUE and are NOT turnkey. I have developed them myself and never expected to sell them! Desperate times call for desperate measures!

Network Domains (Most, if not all, have traffic)
- GamerClubHouse.com
- VGFreebies.com
- GameCheats.ws (You can set up a site using the database and site files from VGKING.com; just put up a different design!)
- Gaming-Report.com (I have a unique design worth about $100 for this site)
- Game-Report.com (I'd suggest forwarding this domain to Gaming-Report.com)
- GameSiteDirectory.com (I made a design for this site. Use the directory script that is included on the network home page on this site! Create a directory site just for video gaming websites!)
(Check WHOIS for expiration information. Everything but GameCheats.ws is registered at NameCheap - free push to your account! GameCheats.ws is registered at Name.com)

I'm also throwing in another game site design that I bought for $150.
Serious queries, ONLY!

Offers over $800 please.
Payments through PayPal. All offers considered. BIN offers welcome. PMs welcome.

Not enough info? Just PM me asking what information you need.
Thanks.

I could've sworn you had other gaming sites that were part of that network...

No, sorry. :|
You may be confusing this network with another network?

**WPH** · 12-24-2005, 02:05 PM

This is a strange one for me, I buy Gaming sites and develop them, its what I do because I enjoy it. I saw yours and really wasnt turned on by them. There seems to be no community behind them, traffic doesnt seem that impressive and as for content, well thats sadly lacking.

I do see potential though, but not enough to justify the $800 min bid. I couldnt bid that for these sites as there just is not enough there to justify it. I mayt be wrong and you may get that bid for these sites, but personally in my experiance that I have, I dont see it as a good investment.

Most of them need a complete redesign, they are spread apart quite badly (the forums being on a completely seperate domain baffles me in all honesty). There is no real revenue being earnt on these sites either which means im bidding on a site based purely on its potential to earn in the future. Its a big risk as its a packed sector to be in with some real big players in the market.

All that being said, I would be willing to offer you $600 for the lot. I couldnt go higher though, sorry.

Hello; I can pose a question back to you because you seem very strange: Do you know what you are talking about? I'm not trying to be rude, but this bundle I am giving is worth a lot more than I am asking.

I don't think you develop video gaming websites, maybe gaming yeah. I can see from your signature that you own an arcade-style site. This is a total different genre of sites.

The forums did used to be on the domain videogamingnetwork.com and was located at videogamingnetwork.com/community, but I recently changed it to help visitors remember the domain name a bit better. Videogamingnetwork.com is a pretty long domain name, especially with the /community. So, I thought vgamingnet.com is self-explanatory and thus it has been quite the success so far.

I haven't released traffic information but I know each site at least gets 100 uniques per day if not a bit more. vGamingNet.com is using 1200+ mb of bandwidth so far this month, and that's just a forum on that domain..

Content is impressive, and most of all its unique. I don't understand why you said that it's not impressive. I receive emails daily from big game publishers such as Electronic Arts and Bandai with press releases and news directly from their company, and occasionally I receive free games and products to review.

The layouts on the sites that are developed are bad only in your opinion. I think that they look nice, and professional. It's up to the buyer whether or not they want to change them or not. Again, I am including some video game site templates (unique ones) that I've purchased for $50 each or so.

I'm also including a handful of sly domains that are rich in keyword, and with the designs I'm including...quite easy to develop. Now most importantly, the CMS powering Bold Gamers was $300 alone. It's a very nice CMS and gets the job done. I've tweaked it a bit, too.

I'd love to test Google Ads on the sites but I really don't want to give information out over the internet (social security or tax payers), no matter how trustworthy the company is. I know that if you know what you're doing, you can get a pretty penny or so with the sites.

eGamingSupply has gotten about $5, the $4.51 in one week...just from referral links. That site I haven't tried to promote, and is brand new too. PLUS, what I'm including with that site is worth $300 too.

**EGS** · 12-24-2005, 07:46 PM

$900 offer received.
I will make a BIN price of $1100.

This sale will end tomorrow. Thanks.

Ok, this is not flaming as I am simply responding to a question asked.

Yes, I do actually know what I am talking about. Perhaps you misunderstood some comments but anyway I shall further justify what I said. My Content comment was totally misunderstood, I was not questioning the quality of content but simply the quantity of it. For a "Gaming Network" you would expect much more content.

I will question some of the content though, in particular an article on how to make money from gaming. You actively encourage users to break companies TOS to sell MMORPG items, even listing how much you made, where to sell and which game you used. This could land you in serious trouble if the publishers ever decided to pursue a case. It has been done in the past, they go after the big sites selling the goods then filter down to those that supply the goods, end result being at the very least suspension of accounts and all items. It is not your property to sell.

As for my sites, yes you picked out Weplayhere to make a point of. This would be my 225,000 meber gaming site, which to call simply an "arcade" site does it no justice. It is a Multiplayer Gaming site which is free to play - quite a unique thing these days. The content is very unique, the traffic is very high etc etc.

The target market of this site is game players, the very same people you try and aim your sites at. We are no different in that respect, but anyway I will continue on. I was remotely impressed that you get the odd Video Game sent your way, but as we are set to launch our reviews service for the beginning of 2006 if didnt do enough to impress me. I get games sent daily from Microsoft, EA, JoWood etc etc, infact I am working with Manufacturers of PCs and Consoles too so we can review Systems and Hardware. Packard Bell being the first one signed up.

Press Releases - ok, that one was a silly point for anyone in the know, you may have signed up to EAs press ethernet, anyone with a gaming site can do this. Or you may just be using material from sites like vgamin.com We have our Press Pass for EA, Microsoft etc etc, we also have access to press Releases from EVERY publisher/manufacter from the UKs largest Games Resource Site.

I am not saying this to show off, simply to put a fact straight, I have the resources and the experiance to know what I am talking about. It is nice to see you got your bid that you wanted, but like I was pointing out, any serious purchaser wouldnt pay the high money for that network and to survive in this industry you need a serious purchaser.

Good luck with your sale and your future projects!

I have A LOT of backlinks, but have paid NOTHING for links back to my site. :P Honestly, I just know what I am doing and have established a large amount of backlinks by submitting some of my sites into large numbers of website directories. Also, I receive a lot of links from forums either from my own signature (Do a search on Google for VG_KING because I'm registered at over 100 forums) and of course visitors sometimes link to my sites because they like it and whatnot.
