Want a chance at owning an AWESOME domain name for your tutorial oriented site? P2L is selling the low bandwidth sister site www.tutorialseek.com that we stopped using last summer! This site had some awesome traffic and climbed in rank very quickly in a pretty short time. If you're seriously interested in picking this up (It's not cheap), check out the sale notice at Sitepoint http://www.sitepoint...ad.php?t=337504

This is for the name ONLY! Some really awesome potential for this URL.

PM or email me if you have any questions.

Depending on what you're used to, OBO means "Or best offer" or "Or better offer". :D

Stats are unavailable because this was before we were on dedicated servers. Either way, the sale is for the name and it's potential as a high ranking site because the domain name is extremely good. The sale isn't based on current PR or traffic, but it did have a great track record when I started using it.

Hey,

I reckon within 48 hours you'll have a good offer as it's an awesome domain name, now if I only had 200 in the bank :S

TS.com was a low bandwidth version of P2L that was just tutorial searching without the articles and other features you see on P2L. When we released P2L v2, we removed the site because we were worried Google would penalize us for running two domains with similar content. Google has banned sites in the past for doing that, so we figured better safe than sorry...

So since then, it just forwards to P2L until I either sell it or find another project for it :)

I dont think stats are necessary. Would such a high profile site lie? na...

Hey,

Exactly, why would Faken risk it all for a mere 2000? it's just not explainable.

It's selling for $2000 not 200

I sincerely wish I still had my traffic stats when that site was still live as it gave me a great deal of hits, my traffic dropped dramatically when that site was pulled, even though it's still directed here they changed.

You could also add in the Tutorial Seek template with this (rase the price too if you are)

That would be sweet. But sadly I only have $10 I spent the rest on my site :(

You will probably sell the domain fast because that is one hell of a cool name :)

Might I suggest you try selling it on eBay? I do lots of eBay sales and its a very good way of selling something like this.

Wouldn't the fees on a BIN item of 2K be pretty nuts?
