Hi everyone,
I'm selling a very unique website today, it's been in my hands for a year but has been sitting there for about 10 months collecting dust. The sites concept is simple...every week a new clue is automatically displayed on the page, using the clues you must try and guess the correct password to unlock the vault and win $100.
The website has a 100% custom coded backend which uses PHP & MySQL, it's password protected for admin access and allows you to setup multiple games in advance, e.g when one game finishes another one starts. A neat feature also allows you to view every guess along with IP address and timestamps.
The reason the site has been sitting there is due to the fact that I found it difficult to keep creating challenging games. If you're clever enough to come up with good clues then this can make you an absolute fortune! When it first launched I posted it on digg and it made the front page within 24 hours, from this the site had 45,000 guesses within 48 hours!
Revenue comes from 2 streams, firstly the adsense, in the first week of launching the peak was $15/day. The second is from selling advance clues, clues cost $5 and are automatically e-mailed after you pay for them via paypal. Clues make more money and i've done $200 in a week by selling these, including many repeat orders.
The design of the site is awesome as i'm sure you will agree and was done by www.4design.tv, it cost around $1,500. The script cost me $800.
There is no point me sending you any traffic/revenue information as it's been dead for ages....but based on the initial weeks when it was running, if kept at this peak, it can easily attract 5,000-10,000 uniques/day and do in excess of $500/week with no problems.
Feel free to check the website out, unfortunatly I can't show you the admin area but for interested parties, screenshots can be provided. The backend was actually coded by sitepoints php guru of the year (2006) so it's to a very high standard.
www.breakthevault.com (note, this is a demo game so please don't buy clues or expect to win!)
Thanks everyone!
