Traffic details:

Link backs through forums, blogs using imageShack.in for image hosting, links on web directories, word of mouth, and some search engine traffic.
It is on good ranks on major search engines for keywords like: free imageshack, imageshack india, imageshack gellery etc.

Description:

imageShack.in is a unique, free image upload and free image hosting site. Anyone may host image gallery for free to show them on message boards, online auctions, classifieds, and eBay and even share pictures with your family!
imageShack also displays random images on the homepage and in Public image gallery.
Site is using custom script and is uniquely designed(although india gallery is using a paid flash gallery script).

Included:

- High profile Domain name: imageShack.in
- All the files, scripts currently hosted.
- Web hosting (See below).

Hosting:

The site is hosted on an economical host(got through ebay.com) and I've already paid the yearly hosting fee(Dec 2005 to Nov 2006). So the buyer may keep the site hosted there for free during that period. The performance of current host is quite impressive But still I'll suggest the buyer to move it to some established host.

Type of site:
Established and functional website with traffic.

Why am I selling:
I need funds for my new, ambitious project.

Price (or starting bid): $250

Buy it Now: $1100

Is an auction?: Yes

hmm...you may have problems with imageshack.us - they hold the trademark to "imageshack" and could demand the domain be given to them.

Last month I started the same auction but then suspended it because of the interest showed by the imageshack.us admin himself in buying the domain.
After some conversations he accepted my offer to buy the domain, But later he stopped responding to my emails. So, After informing him about possible sale of the site I've started this thread again.

@holeinone: Some time ago I wrote the programme that fetches the smaller size images from flickr with link to full sized image. The diplay of image is based on the selected tag. I am using the same script at my site. You may still see the images uploaded to imageShack.in at the Public Gallery Section on the site.

@p0iz: Thanks!

I just sold Imageshack.cc to the imageshack.us owner for $30 - He has trademarked his name - So he can get it if he really wants to.

Well then let him get it. No need to try and trash his thread.

@inviz: I am not selling a domain name, It is Established and functional website with traffic.
Actually Alex himself agreed to pay me $400 for my domain only. The offer I gave to Alex was much lower then fee required to file a domain dispute claim, plus there are other hefty attorney fees that usually rip people apart, So I am confident that Alex is not planning to sue me.
Also the .us counterpart of imageShack has recently lost the important case against .com domain name holders(ImageShack Corp. v. RegisterFly.com-Ref#17592297 c/o Whois Protection Services-ProtectFly.com
Claim Number: FA0505000473833)

From Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Rules"):
Quote:Paragraph 4(a) of the Policy requires that the Complainant must prove each of the following three elements to obtain an order that a domain name should be cancelled or transferred:

(1) the domain name registered by the Respondent is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights;

(2) the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and

(3) the domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.


1). ImageShack.us filed an intent-to-use trademark application with the USPTO to register the mark "Imageshack." But I registered the domain before that keyword was registered.

2). I registered the domain to provide image and photo gallery hosting service:
a). The main intention is to serve image gallery presenting the glory of India.
b). I am an indian, thus legally I can use .in name.
c). There are other CC tlds registered and being used by individuals other than Imageshack corp.
d). imageshack.com won the Dispute over similar concerns.

3). I am not going to use it to spoil their name, anyway.

He's right and If revenue is $20. You are looking at more than 50 months revenue.
What is the highest bid and where if not here??
 
0

As the hits to the site are increasing every month, the site will become a major in the segment in no time. Also keep in mind that I haven't advetised it yet. So the site can easily get popular.

Current highest BID is $400.

PM sent to holeinone with BID related information.
