Description:
ActiveSimSites.com is primarily a links directory for fansites of The Sims series of games. It contains links to more than 300 websites, all of which link back. Clicks in and out are tracked, visitors can rate and review listed websites etc. All links are managed using the ComDevWeb.com links directory script.

WEBSITE CONTAINS:
* 307 links to the sims fansites.
* 285 reviews of the listed websites.
* 5 active premium link subscriptions - renewed via PayPal every 3 months at £5 ($8.25), you can obviously change the price.
* Mailing list of 764 the sims website owners.
* 8 unique Sims 2 clothing items, 4 are branded with the websites name.
* Cheats for all The Sims & The Sims 2 games on each platform.
* 15 games from ZangoCash.com affiliate program - very new, no revenue so far.
* Thousands of mobile ringtones, wallpapers etc from ringtonio.com affiliate program - very new, no revenue so far.
* Shop section - very new, no products added yet. The plan was to sell through Amazon associate programs.
* Regularly used shoutbox, occasionally abused - perhaps best to remove and add a forum instead.

The entire site isn't managed by one CMS. Most sections involve a small amount of manual updating. There are seporate admin facilities for the links directory, clothes downloads, and mailing list, the mobile downloads section maintains itself. It wouldn't be difficult to integrate cutenews or something similar for the updates section.

The site makes use of PHP includes to make any manual-updating as easy as possible.

Can we get an actual Google Adsense screenshot for Feb please.

Also your $1,200 = 24 months x $50 per month revenue - quite a lot?

 

[ActiveSimSites]

I'll get the screenshots up for you a.s.a.p.

The BIN has been dictated by offers not far off that amount on SitePoint, if you don't feel the site warrants that fee, simply don't offer it It is the fee that at this stage will be instantly accepted, though - anything below will be considered.

You need to blank out the CTR and ECPM columns, just scribble over them in MS Paint, it's what quite a few people do. I believe (but not 100% sure) they then will be happy. cheers.
