I'm living in a country where its not permissable to operate adult sites, I've been doing this for years without a problem but I'm currently going through a divorce and things are getting a little heated and I'm afraid the bitch might spill the beans to the authorities if she doesn't get what she wants.
I was going to list it on flippa untill I got to the last page after entering all the details and it mentioned about adult content, bummer.
I don't know how much and where to sell it as I've never sold a full site before, the only thing I know is that I'd have to use Escrow as payment.
Here's the sales pitch I had ready for flippa.
Quote:
PR2 Playboy Playmates Adult Website with 41,071 uniques/mo making $1,861/mo
Passive income 2007 established website focusing on Playboy Playmates.
Due to my location and family and work commitments I am unable to mantain this website to the standard it has previously been mantained.
Since January 2012 it has sadly been neglected with little to no regular blog post updates which has lead to a slow but steady decline in traffic. See attached data.
Furthermore, a server issue in July this year led me to the decision of abandoning my online business and concentrating more on other projects. It took nearly two weeks to remedy the server issue as I am not a server tech and my dedicated server is unmanaged, in which time I was forced to redirect this website to utilise the traffic, hence the drop in traffic on the google analytics data. Eventually it was nailed down to a mobile theme compatability issue which was causing horendous server response times and a drop in traffic from search engines, which is now fixed.
In March this year I found the time to update the latest Playmates as it hadn't been updated since January 2012, and add a few blog posts, mostly copied content from official Playboy site with a few handwritten posts, this alone increased the traffic from 1.3k to 3k uniques a day which held steady until the server issue. This increase in traffic corresponds with the increased sales for May and June on the Playboywebmasters-com sales report attached. This gives you an idea of the huge potential income that can be generated with just a few regular updates of unique content.
After the site redirect was sorted I changed the theme and restructured the urls, losing the category base and renaming all the categories, I also deleted a lot of old posts that where linking to old Playboy Girls FHG's, this caused a slight drop off in traffic but is now gaining again as search engines are finding the new urls and ranking them according to their category keywords.
Sadly I no longer have the time or resolve to operate this website and I am currently residing in a country where it is not permissable to operate adult websites.
You are bidding on the full website content/design and domain name, all you'll need to do is change the affiliate codes which are easily changed in one redirect file. I will provide support for the site transfer and edit any database or config files needed to get the site running smoothly on the new server provided by the buyer.
Based on the Verified Google Analytics stats Flippa-com recommended a starting bid of $10K and a reserve of $100K but I am a little optimistic over those figures.
Domain is registered at 123-reg.co.uk and payment will be Escrow.com only, buyer to pay escrow fees.
Feel free to ask any questions.

If anybody is interested post your google analytics email and I'll grant you access to the sites data.
The playboywebmasters account will not be included as its on increased payouts and I plan to start some new sites once the divorce is settled.
