Established Established Site - $150/month. High Traffic!

[gex6]

Site: www.familyguytorrents.com

I launched this site about 50 days ago. Its a site with all the Family Guy episodes (season 1-4), with descriptions, screen caps and torrents for each. However, I dont have enough time for it now that its getting bigger.

The site was featured on digg.com and gorillamask.net. Most of the traffic comes from various sites
featuring our site. Mainly sites that show "web finds". We aslo get a lot of traffic from forums
as well as some from search engines

So far we have done virtually no advertising. This site has great potential because its spread rapidly by word-of-mouth advertising.

Revenue comes via google adsense. So far this month (as of the evening of July 25th), we have made $150.86. We made nearly $40 the day we were featured on gorillamask.net which makes me wonder if I only had the time to advertise..

Traffic according to webalizer is over 900 uniques a day, peaking at over 3000 per day.

Other stats:
forum: we launched our forum about the beginning of July and as of right now we have 40 users and
296 posts.

torrent stats: torrent stats can be seen here, www.familyguytorrents.com/tracker/mystats.php
(ignore all the file hashes at the top, scroll down to see the relevant torrent stats). Episode
409 which was released about a week ago has had 1981 completed downloads, with 46 seeders and 69
leechers at this moment. Episode 410 which I released this morning at 11 AM, already has 488
current downloaders.

Scripts:
Custom written review submitter. Its simple to add a new review. Upload a description file (txt), a screenshoot. Then add it to the season list. I can show the new owner.

tracker - PHPBTTracker v1.5rc3

Monthly bandwidth?

nice site.. what about copyright issues with Fox? Is it okay to make these episodes for download?

Some new updates.

Today I got a cease and desist letter from Fox. I'm not actually hosting any episodes on the server. However the legal issues are rather murky, and I'd prefer not to get involved in this, so I am removing the torrent files from my server.

HOWEVER, this does not mean you cannot link to other torrent links on the internet (not hosted on the server). You may still link to torrents hosted on sites such as piratebay, torrentspy, and whatnot. You may also try overseas hosting (many of the larger torrent sites do that now).

Monthly bandwidth is less than 10GBs.

I've lowered the price starting price to 100, and the BIN to 300 because of this. Thanks.

davidk - 125.

I also have an unconfirmed bid of 200 via PM at the moment. Thanks.

Bid of 200$ via PM confirmed. Thanks.

Actually, on second thought, unless someone wants to make a bid of $750+, I think I'm better off keeping this site. Although the torrents have been removed, I can always link to other torrents. Anyways, thanks for your interest.
