Adsertive Selling Download Sites / Business on eBay

Email This Entry

Posted by Adam Viener

Adsertive announced today that they have setup an eBay Auction selling their profitable music download network of sites and business that generates over $1M per year.

This listing is for a HUGE network of MP3/Music Download Related Sites & Products. This is a self sufficient, streamlined multi-million dollar business that has been operating extremely well since its successful launch in 2002. Since then, the network has generated over 4 million dollars in revenue for our company. The main website is 24/7 Downloads (247Downloads.com), which has been branded to billions of people across the internet. Currently the network typically generates between $75,000 - $125,000 per month in profits. This network will be a huge asset for whoever buys it. We sell 1 and 2 year memberships for our downloading software, and we have sold over 200,000 copies to date.

They also provide some examples of a few months of revenues indicating a profit of $75,752 in January 2006, a low month, and $150,958.49 for December 2005, a high month.

UPDATE: The auction eded with a top bid of $220,350.00 without meeting the reserve price, so the deal wasn't closed on eBay. Honestly this could have just been a hype campaign in hopes to get more inbound links to their sites both from eBay as well as from bloggers.

Adam,

Don't you think going through all that work posting the auction would be a bit much simply to drive traffic? I think the intent was real and they probably increased their potential buyer list by posting it.

Actually a pretty smart move I think.
