So...
The selling point is 10k a day in search traffic.
The point is HOW is it ranking for those phrases, what phrases are they etc etc etc.
First, for that SE traffic to remain stable for ANY period of time, that means the site, site structure, page titles, backlink anchors, text on pages etc etc etc etc etc etc all need to remain in tact. That in itself is a problem.
Second, he might own 2000 sites and be using them to rank pages on that domain. He might own 2000 sites and be doing 50,000 abc trades to pages on that domain. He might be spending 5K a month on backlinks. He might have 100s of 1000s of spam backlinks to that site (all of which disappear over time). Who knows? But whatever he is doing will most likely stop and begin to fall apart, once he transfers the domain.
10k a day in adult search traffic isn't something that just happens by random chance because of a lucky google update.

That sounds a little far fetched to me, i mean with how many scammers are in this industry, i understand somewhat but given the history of this site and length of existence while maintaining that traffic, i just dont see that likely. The likeliness hes spending a ton of money on backlinks while average 275 bucks a month the past 2 months is a bit far fetched. He would have stopped that a long time ago and he wouldn't keep it up in order to see it for 2500-4500 or whatever he will get for it.
And regarding him owning all of the sites hes got banklinks from, also not likely, they'd need different ip ranges, etc - in order to have any sort of power, plus with panda updates and with some of the work google does, at one point by now, i figure it'd be busted if they were all his and all sites with 0 weight behind them. plus if you go on alexa, you can view a bunch. while it doesn't show you them all, it atleast proves it's not 600 sites that he owns.
I just bought a site with 5k/google traffic (15k total), similar site. for $1750. It was on the GFY forum for a while (with no buyers), so thats why i dont suspect that he would do all that and pay that much in order to sell for a tiny bit.
And with google analytics, you can view most of the terms that people are reaching your site by, so with those, shouldn't you be able to get a good idea of anchors, etc, - plus you want to use unique ones and not use the exact same ones anyway.
Im no SEO expert though, so i may be wrong but from what it looks like, expecting the backlinks to suddenly disappear even though the se traffic levels have maintained for this long and with how much money hes making, looks to me as its someone who just isn't working on it quite as much considering how much its making him.
But hey, you can never be too cautious I guess :/
