Mafia2Family is a site dedicated to "Mafia II" game,  which is soon to be released by 2K Games  and  is promising to have huge  success.

"Mafia 2" is a sequel of an awesome mobster game released in 2002, Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven. That game touched many gamers’ hearts and got millions of fans all around the world.   2 million copies sold.

Game release date:  August 24, 2010.


Site Story
Mafia2Family.com was established in April 2008 with simple goals:   reach  high search engine positions  and  build a community around the new game.
We used one of available Joomla themes and significantly reworked it to  match  the  style of the game.   Forum (Simple Machines)  theme  was  also  reworked.

The site is running on Joomla CMS   with  Simple Machines Forum  used as forum software. 

The  Joomla's users database  is  tied  with forum's users database,  so  whenever someone signs up on the  site  -  he gets  access to the forum.   Total registered members: 690.

There are no errors or technological problems with the site. We are a group of seasoned software developers and  we know how to get things  done right.

SEO
Back in 2008-2009,  very  solid  SEO  work  has  been  done  on  the  site,  which  brought  excellent  results:

The site is currently on page 2  for the main  keyword  "Mafia 2" in Google.
The positions  on  other "Mafia 2" - related keywords are also very good:

  • #3 on "Mafia2" (no space)
  • #4 on "Mafia 2 Game"
  • #7 on "Mafia 2 Release"
  • #2 on "Mafia 2 Cars"
  • #1 on "Mafia 2 Info" and  "Mafia 2 Information"
  • #1 on "Mafia 2 Characters"
  • #3 on "Mafia2Game"
  • #7 on "Mafia 2 Fan"
  • #6 on "Mafia 2 Weapons"
  • Page 2 on "Mafia 2 Downloads"


- these  positions can  be  even  higher:  it  was site  #2 for "Mafia 2" when  we've  been publishing  bits  of  content  on  the  site.  We  believe that in good hands, this site can be in top 5 on main "Mafia 2" keyword  and  top  3  on  other related keywords.

External links to home page:
Webmaster tools: 16
Yahoo: 619

Revenue Details

We didn't bother much about generating income from the site. Current adsense and amazon commissions are minimal.

Possible Income sources

  • Affiliate income on game sales
  • Affiliate income on other products related to the game
  • Affiliate income  on  other  games
  • Promote other gaming sites  and  build  a  network
  • Niche advertising
  • Premium access (community benefits/ downloads / patches and mods / other premium content)
  • Improved AdSense placements

Traffic Details

When we've been working on content,  the site  brought  in 4k visits / 13k page views per month.
Currently,  it  has  3100 visits (2700 uniques) and 9700 page views per month.

75% of traffic comes from search engines:
Google: 53.44%
Yahoo: 11.92%

I  expect  these numbers  to  explode  to  a  much  higher  level  when the game is released.

 

Why selling?
We have  launched   a  large  real  estate  portal  and  would like to concentrate all our efforts  on  it.    Therefore,  we  believe  that  there are people or companies  who  are able to generate  more  revenue from this site  than we are able to do.

I am ready to sell mafia2family.com to the right person or company  -  someone who can leverage it's full potential and bring it to higher standards.

We'll  be able to install it on your server and pass full domain name ownership rights to you. We will also pass any .psd sources used in site design and provide  assistance  to help  you  get started with the site.



If  you  need  some  more  stats  than the pdfs attached  -  I'll  be  glad  to  share  access  to  site  statistics  in  Analytics.  Please PM me your Gmail ID if interested.

Please  let  me  know  if  there  is  any  other valuable  information  I  can provide.


We've  put solid efforts into this  site,  we are ready to sell it  for  a  reasonable  price. 
Now you can hit me up with an offer we can't  refuse :)

    Just to clarify what happened to the previous auction: the winning buyer disappeared and wasn't responding to any contacts.

    With a "DEMO" of the game released, the site recently took a huge increase in number of daily visitors:
    460 and 480 unique visitors last two days (purely search engine traffic).
    Now we can expect monthly stats AT LEAST 2.5 times more than I've outlined, which makes 7500 uniques and 22k page views per month.

    And I expect the traffic to increase by AT LEAST another 2-3 times when the game is released.

    The traffic trend continues! :)
    Statistics for last 5 days:
    2,459 Visits
    2,318 Visitors
    7,540 Pageviews
    - with no advertising.

    This should hugely increase when the game is released (August 24, 2010.).
