Virtual Pet Site
Great marketable domain with a 'Closed Beta' Phase in our website.
What you receive?
-Over 1,000 'item' images each costing from $2.00-$3.00 each to design.
All 100% custom to the site.
-Over 10 custom pets each with 13-15 different unique colors. (Each pet costed roughly $60.00 with $5.00 for each color).
-A Phpbb forum with 2300+ members.
-A custom 'on site' forum with tens of thousands of posts.
-On Site members of 1,150+ members with invites to the 'closed beta' portion of the site.
Custom Coded Features:
- Create A Pet, Inventory, Pet Functions [Groom, Play with, Feed, etc.], Item Functions [Use on pet, stock in shop, give to friend, etc.], Bank, Shop Searcher.
-Friends: You can have 'top friends' & up to a near unlimited amount of friends with a custom coded script.
-Messaging: A fully custom messaging script similar to the way 'Gmail' messaging works with very fast response time.
- Four Custom Flash Games with a 'send score' feature.
- Games Arcade (With ALL custom games) [2 Flash Item Spinners. 2 Flash action games with pets from the site. A daily 'free token' booth. A random 'choose the cube' game. A slot game.
- Quests: Featured with the site comes an admin panel with creating NEW quests for the site very easily. Already made are 4 quests which the point is to buy items around the site, turn them to the Non Playable Character & receive a prize in return.
- Dragon Quest: A HUGE custom coded script with different levels & prizes to the quest. You start off & it asks you to do 3 things around the site for the first chapter of the first level. Such as "Add X as a friend, Refer 1 member, Send your score 3 times" & keeps asking for tasks around the site which promotes activity, new members & with the prizes boosts the economy & allows for a HUGE desire to complete the quests.
-User/Pet Profiles: You can customize your profile which shows how many avatars, Stamps, Collections, referrals, etc. you have. It allows users to see your trophies & pets on your profile. Shows stats such as 'forum posts, last online, pageviews' etc.
-Referral System: A fully automated unique referral system which allows users to gain points & spend them on real life & virtual items. In order for a referral to 'count' the referral must do a number of tasks on the site to show the referral is actually a real user. We don't disclose what the referral must perform, but its fairly simple for it to go through if its a real user not a fake or spam user.
-Cash Shop: Users buy virtual cash for real money & can spend their money in our shop. The way we have it optimized is the user gets X amount of points to purchase 1-3 items with. With that there will ALWAYS be leftover cash hence psychologically makes the user want to buy more so they can use more points. Along with this with every purchase from this shop they get a 'chest' which they can choose a 'chest' & it could have 1 of 5 prizes. 1 of which is an ultimate rare item on the site & one of the most saught after. With this shop there is no HUGE advantage & does not throw off the economy.
-Worlds: On the site we have many different 'worlds'.
http://www.icepets.com/images/world/explore4.jpg
Each of these worlds have custom maps mapping around different areas to explore. We have been cited for having THE BEST "world" map in the virtual pet industry by virtualpetlist.com
-Trades: A HUGE script as well which allows users to trade items via a post. You can do 1 of three options. An item 4 item trade, which automatically would accept a trade if a user puts up for bid the exact item(s) you want [Never been done, obviously]. A item for points trade or an item for points+items trade. The post is active with lots of new trades throughout the day.
-SHOPS: Dozens of shops each with unique characters for the shop keeper images. The shops sell the virtual items for users to buy & users must type in a code to buy the item (to prevent against programs buying items automatically). Many users will wait for the shops to restock in the event of a rare item stocking, so they can sell for more profit.
- User Shops: Users can have their own shop & upgrade if they need to stock more items. There is a 'leader board' of the Top 50 Shops to show off the largest upgraded shops.
- Admin Panel: The site has a massive easy to use admin panel for all tasks, which is all on site. Nearly no database knowledge is needed for most tasks which can include; forum pruning, Editing News, changing items values, rarities, where the item stocks, etc. Editing users, icepoints, Avatars, Quests & many more other odd admin panel necessities.
- Forums, Avatars, Details: Our boards are extremely active & have multiple topics. Users get a small amount of points for posting to boost activity & the economy. This number is small enough that people will not spam to make a ton of points. Users can find hidden avatars throughout the site & use them to show off on the forums. Users can also edit their details such as what displays on their profile, signature, etc.
- Painting Pet: Our site has some of the most FANTASTIC colors out of any pets on other sites. Please view images below:

http://www.icepets.com/images/Pets/Ridix/Ridix_Snowdrift.png
http://www.icepets.com/images/Pets/Cobron/Cobron_Ice.png
How it works is the user finds or purchases a snow jar & clicks the item to use it on their pet. Which then transforms their pet into that image.
- Staff: Currently we employ an avatar/graphic artist. A character artist. 3 Item artists & a pet artist. Our artists usually can perform most jobs within the next few days after it is requested. New items are anywhere from $2.00-$3.00 an item with $.25-$1.00 for recolors for items. Characters on the site are $10.00 each & new pets are $25-$75 each with roughly $15.00 each for new custom colors.
We have 4 moderators which are active forum posters/lurkers. We have three highly trustworthy admins on the site. Along with 2 writers. Our programmer disappeared but all notes to every bit of code & how it works are all saved in a very safe location. So a new programmer will not have any problems coding new features. Our staff is very close & works together with new projects. 100% Trusted staff throughout the entire year & a half of development. Twitter with over 650 followers (Worth about $650.00).
- 'Other' Features: HighScores with trophies awarded each week for our two flash games. Books & a library which when you read your pet a book you read an actual story. When that pet reads a book it goes on a high score list & you can view your library to read past books at any time. Stamp collections with avatars for highest collectors. Along with cube collections which users like to show off who has the most & is great for the economy. There are hundreds of tiny features & great perks which may be added here later, but we can go over details on other features via PM if requested. Assume other features are not as important as those above.
:::::Countless hours of programming is the main cost of this website. Along with advertising with Google Adwords, virtualpetlist, & other gaming forums to get where we are today.
The past 7 weeks the website has lost some activity since it had to go back in a 'closed beta' mode due to a hack in the site which was fixed. The site launched on March 5th & during that month made $85.00 in adsense & over $420.00 in cash shop purchases.
The following month roughly $75.00 was made in Adsense & roughly $90.00 in purchases.
May/April were not as great for us with only $60.00 in purchases since I developed a case of pneumonia & we were hacked.
This is a website which DOES require work but at this point I am not able to continue working as much as I want to / financial needs are more important in my real life at this time & my current status doesn't allow me to invest more in the website.
STATS:
2010
2009
June 2010 Specs
Adsense March-June
A total of $630.00 has been made with our cash shop since the beginning of March, which includes transactions via PayPal AND Snail Mail. Picture of stats can be sent upon request.
Looking for offers for this 100% HUGE Virtual Pet Website.

Revenue Statistics: Assume little/no revenue. My site is not properly setup for effective advertising revenue. As you can see from my traffic if you properly setup the advertising you can definitely make some profit. I've made about $35 dollars in the past 9 months... Which if you NEED proof I can send. But thats considered 'little' revenue.
Last Few Months : I slacked on the website & forgot to pay the server & update it. There was no traffic in October. But after writing a blog or two the traffic jumped from 30 uniques a day on the third of Nov to 180+ on the 17th of Nov. So definitely climbing back up in no time! This past month, Jessica Simpson pictures & Sasquatch announcements have made these stats soar!
Keeping Traffic: If needed I can write 10 blogs (which is enough for a month at least) included in them will be free MP3s to add to the MP3 Streamer on the site. These blogs are good blogs to get DUG for traffic too.
