    Arcade site, 350K UV/month, $7,000 per month

    I'm wondering what I can get for http://tinyurl.com/2vn6rm

    It's been around for two years, and gets a steady flow of new traffic from search engines and 60,000 inbound links. User retention is very poor as the site is rarely updated and has no community features.

    I'm sure someone could turn it into something big - but wonder if I could get a decent price for it if I put it on the market.

    I find it hard to believe you are making 7k a month off adsense off a arcade site
    unless all your google ads are financials, mortgages etc paying a buck a click.

      only making $6.2K/month using adsense. The other $800 is from an affiliate program (see the download section).

      You're right that arcade sites don't work too well with adsense but with three million pageviews per month if you know what you're doing placement wise.

              Adsense doesn't pay CPM though, you're missing out on a lot of pageview traffic that doesn't click on ads. I'm sure it's just me, but I wouldn't sell anything making $7000 / month that I never have to touch.

                    How about posting proof of revenue? It will cut down speculation and you will address to more serious people.

                    Proof of traffic would be cool too.

                      I've posted a sitepoint auction: http://marketplace.sitepoint.com/auctions/32819

                      I'll post proof of revenue there when I get to the office later today.

                              I'm not in a need for cash right now. This website was really just an online marketing excercise. I don't know much about the online flash games industry nor do I care to know.

                              In principal I'd consider a partnership but validating someone I don't know personally is a pain in the ass so I'd rather just sell or keep it for now.

                                alright, I dont have the kinda coin you are asking for but think I could have this site making far more than it is now...what if you kept control of the domain until you were paid out to a certain amount? no risk for you that way

                                        Those screens were taken on March 30th so they are missing the last day and a half of revenue for march.

                                                200K for 8 grand a month profit makes no sense. Maybe you could get 60 for it.

                                                    especially when it has only made that much for a couple months

That site could be doing $25k+ per month easily.
