Hello,
I cannot see any ads - Adsense or others. Are they U.S targeted? Also the whole website is very good. How can you use adsense or other ads to monetize it?

Description
Okay, so I am just going to let everyone know up front that I am NOT looking for a quick sale on this. I am very much in love with it, the opportunities this site has brought me, and the room for expansion. If I do however get the "right" offer from the "right" individual or entity I will of course sell - but with a heavy heart.
What's my reason for putting the site up for auction? I have been told my a numerous amount of people that there is interest in acquiring the website. So, let's see what happens shall we?
MyTweetSpace.com has been one of the most talked about applications since it's real time launch on Christmas Eve. The site is older than that however as we have had beta testers and a small group of twitter users using it before it eventually went "big".
The idea is huge, it's almost like a Myspace for Twitter, but on a different scale. If you know how Twitter's profile system works you will know how hard it is to get that perfect branded profile. MyTweetSpace.com has received so much praise and hype from bloggers and twitter users that we have quickly become the number one source for creating branded backgrounds in as simple as 10 minutes time.
The application is written in Flash / Actionscript 2.0. A considerable amount of time has gone into the creation and design of the app as well as testing, etc.
Revenue:
Google Adsense: $16.12
I put adsense up on the site on December 27th. It has been showing ever since. I have attached a screenshot of the breakdown.
Buy / Sell Ads Network
$150.00 / ad contract / month (Middle Left Ad Space)

That is the link to Twitter's real time feed just to see how many times we have been tweeted about. :)
Our Twitter Account has over 500 + Followers and growing everyday. We've really only been live for 13 days so these are some pretty good statistics as to where the site is headed.
twitter.com/mytweetspace.com
The Twitter account will be provided upon successful sale of website.
I will respond to all queries as soon as I can. Once again, I do not have a huge need to sell this website as I think there is a huge room for growth and the traffic or need for the service won't stop anytime soon. However, I do wish to see where the interest lies and if there is enough, I will of course part ways and move on. :)
Thanks!

Any agreement on the length that the advertiser will go on for?
Would you be willing to sign a CNC so you would legally agree not to make a site like this or one that could complete with it?

Servehumans: Thanks for your compliments, There are ads on the middle left hand side (Buy/Sell Ads Network Ad's) and there are Google Adsense text ads directly under the app itself. I have uploaded a screenshot so you can see. As far as I know they are not US targeted, although am a little confused as to why they wouldn't be showing on your end.
Calum: There is no agreement from the current advertiser in terms of length of contract. However if you see the ad showing from Buy / Sell Ads Network here: http://buysellads.com/buy/detail/1787/ you can see that it is a predicted 16,000 Est Impressions for each ad unit shown. So I'm sure results will be positive.
I would be willing to sign a CNC and would legally agree not to create any site similar to this one or that would be in competition with it.

honeybubblez: I create the majority of the backgrounds myself, and I will also disclose the place I get the other ones from if this auction closes successfully and there is a winner. (in which I would tell the winner where to get them). I could even stay on contract with the new owner creating backgrounds to expand the site, that is something I wouldn't mind doing if that was of interest to the buyer.

CyberShadow: There is a huge difference. If you look at their site for instance you will see they are very limited when it comes to how many different background designs they offer. I believe they offer something like 50 different backgrounds. We offer over 250 + different backgrounds, styles, themes, etc.
We also offer the ability to add a photo frame around our user's photos.
Hope this helps. -

Hi everyone, I just wanted to update you all on the status of the auction. I have received a lot of interest but I am still looking for a higher bid. I have lowered the BIN price to $7000 (a full thousand dollars). I am looking to sell, however I have to make sure I am getting the right price for the site. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Thanks!

An update for all following this auction or those interested in purchasing MyTweetSpace.com:
A Fraudulent Bid had been placed on the auction in which a bidder placed a bid of $4,000. The staff at Sitepoint have removed this bid as the bidder had no intention of paying.There have been over 12,000 Backgrounds created on the site since publicly launching it on Christmas Eve. The number grows daily and it's on average about 1,000 new backgrounds ever 2-3 days.
