Babepedia.com for sale - Established babe site with +17k uniques/day and +8k registered users

Link: www.babepedia.com

The site is for sale because I want to move away from adult. It's with pain in my heart that I post this here, but I need more time for my mainstream business.

Everything is custom written using PHP and MySQL. The administrative backend is lacking (atm, I use PHPMyAdmin), but I'll create one for the buyer if needed.

The income ranges between $500 and $1000 per month. It's badly monetized: The income comes from banners on Babe profile pages and gallery pages + from free hosted gallery links in the 'user links' sections. In the right hands, this site can make a lot more. A thread with a sponsor comparison for this site was recently posted on GFY.

The site gets around 17k uniques per day and 12x times as many pageviews so (between 200k and 220k). Main traffic source is Google (52%), 25% comes from referring sites and the rest is type-in traffic and bookmarked traffic. Traffic is stable and growing slowly, although I hardly do promotion because of lack of time.

It's on a +/- $100 per month dedicated server that is hosting some other sites as well.

Don't have an asking price (yet). You can make me an offer by emailing prydax at gmail.com. Questions can be mailed or posted here. If you're not interested, but like the offer, please bump ;) Thanks!

Not trying to shit on your sale... but there's a few things I find concerning here.

Why are you using free image hosts instead of a real host?

The free hosts wrap tons of ads for everyone else around the pics and not a single link for the sponsor. By doing it this way, aren't you violating most affiliate program's rules by using the content to promote other sites and services? There's not a single link to the sponsor on the big pics on any of those free hosted image sites you use. Are the free sites paying you to upload someone else's content so they put ads on them?

That makes me wonder. Wouldn't the buyer who wanted to run the site legitimately have to first strip off all those free image galleries and then host it themselves?

That sounds like an awful lot of extra work for the potential buyer.

I'm curious, do you ever receive DMCAs or C&aD notices from people noticing the use of their content to promote someone elses ads (the free image hosts ads)?

Case in point is here:
http://www.babepedia.com/gallery/Ashlynn_Brooke/928
This one has image copyrights removed, so one can assume your free host was DMCA'ed about it.

http://www.babepedia.com/gallery/Brook_Bradford/199188
Brook even left a comment about it:

Great pictures of me... It would be nice if you provided a link to the model's (me) website www.brookbradford.com rather than utilize my images for content with the copyright info removed. This appears to be a blatant case of copyright infringement otherwise. I would be happy to provide images with my copyright in exchange for links to my website. If not, I would request that you remove these images.

Thanks,
Brook Bradford

I asked her if she made this comment and she verified she did.

Given the above, I think if you found someone to give you $6,000 who is willing to do all the extra work and buy a script that is not yet finished (you said so in an earlier posts), then I say take the money and run.

So my question is this... what exactly are you selling?

The site started as a sister site of another one, which it shared the database with. All the images one that site were on free image hosts, so the easiest option was to do the same for Babepedia.

It always looked like a better option to me: a lot less bandwidth, less work, free traffic from the image hosts that are linking back, ...
The trade off is less control. In the beginning, the free hosts only had some banners. Now most of them have intermission ads/popunders as well. Since that change, I've thought about hosting the galleries myself, but never went through with it because of lack of time.

I'm not sure. I did get one complaint, but that was handled ok. I try to put up links and banners on every of the profiles and the gallery pages.

Indeed, there are no links on the image hosts. They're not paying me, no.

I don't see why he/she would have to do that. New galleries can be hosted by the buyer.

As I said above, I did get one complaint.

True, there are no links in that specific gallery. But her profile page has 3 links to her website.

I never said the site wasn't finished. I only said the administrative backend is lacking because I always used PhpMyAdmin. Since that first post, I've improved the administrative backend and now you can do most things from it.

I'm selling:
- the domain
- full rights to the script
- database of posts, comments, links and over 8000 registered users (with email!)
