Auction of AdBit.co - Advertising network

[ingrownpocket]

I'm putting up for auction the website AdBit.co, a advertising network that consists of bidding on users websites, the higher the bid, the greater the exposure share on the publisher adpspace.

Bitcointalk.org topic discussion: https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=449010


This is a great project, there's almost no competition and there's space for a lot of improvements/ideas.
I see a bright future for this in the correct hands, the Bitcoin world needs/deserves a quality advertising network.

The reason I want to sell the website is personal, I can give you some insight privately, but I won't discuss it in public.


Here's some information/statistics for the 66 days of its existence:
3,426 registered users
1,069 websites
1,562 adspaces
3,504 bids
136,317,178 adspace views
30.07 BTC in deposits
15% fee, 4.24 BTC profit
The site runs on a $20 droplet on DigitalOcean.com


If you're the winner of the auction, I will deliver to you, by your preferred method, all the files, database and domain.
I will pay every user balance before the transfer of ownership, so balances will be 0 for all users in  the database.
The database will be exactly as it is at the moment I close the website, so all current statistics will be kept, it's your job to change users deposit addresses or do whatever you feel necessary to run the website.
I will keep all private keys for the current bitcoin deposit addresses.
I will provide support for free for 7 business days after delivery, after that I may charge a hourly fixed rate.

Terms:
Auction starts at 10 BTC, minimum increments of 0.50 BTC.
The winner of the auction will be the highest bid by April 26, 2014, 00:00 UTC.
Bids by private message/email (anonymous for the public) are accepted.
I reserve the right to cancel this auction or any bid at any time.
I reserve the right to extend the auction deadline.

I wish this wasn't allowed, I can't tell if you are inflating the price.

Also why are you are selling it if you are obviously making a good profit margin?

[bmoconno]

I can confirm that I was the 10 BTC bid.

I don't want to make people register on the forum just to place a bid.

Since everyone asks why I want to sell the site, I'll give some info here.
This life isn't working very well for me, I sit all day in front of my computer, I barely have any contact with other people during the entire day. I'm young (19 years old) and want something else at this point, I want to start college and meet new people/places. I'm making a good income with my sites and other stuff online, but having money doesn't mean happiness. Hopefully this will satisfy everyone curious about this.

  why you set these rules?

[ingrownpocket]

Due to popular demand, from now on I won't accept private bids (anonymous for the public).
You can still ask me what you feel necessary privately.

How is the chance of existing advertisers getting paid for their outstanding amount ?

[FreeBitcoins.com]

Are any of your top earners dropping your service?

Freebitco.in
BtcClicks.com
Dailybitcoins.org
Coinad.com
LandofBitcoin.com

Do you think these 5 sites will continue using your service for atleast a year?

What are your expenses?

After all your expense, how much average profit per month?

How much time do u spend per week running this site?

[FreeBitcoins.com]

Do you really think that just by taking a quick look at the website in random time of the day can tell you who the (big) advertisers are?
