Updated February 4th, 2010: With five days remaining of the listing and no actual offers having been made yet, I have decided to reduce the reserve and BIN prices. The site will not be re-listed on Flippa once this listing period ends, so this is the last chance to make an offer for this site.
Original description:
Because of personal problems and failing health, I have decided to offer my website (or possibly the exclusive advertising rights for it) for sale. While the domain is connected to my name and the website and blog is mainly of the personal kind, it has grown to become a well-established website for people searching for free website templates (and to some extent, WordPress themes).
The primary content is a set of free website templates (all valid XHTML/CSS) created during 2005-2008. The templates have become well-known and have been ported to multiple CMS:s and blog engines, resulting in several millions of websites using the template designs. Since the templates have a footer credit link (which template users are free to remove or edit if wanted), my website has got many incoming links - which has helped a lot of people to find the site and the templates and thus expanding their popularity.
This resulted in a #1 rank on Technorati.com a couple of years ago, although the site was excluded from the "Top 100 Blogs" list because the links were for design credits. By following the search engine guidelines with care, the site has earned good rankings for website template related search terms. The current PR is 9.
Revenue Details
Advertisements on the website has been kept to a minimum, resulting in lower revenue than what could have been possible. Only advertisers who could be interesting to the site visitors have been accepted. There has been no gambling sites, no sponsored text links, mostly other website building related advertisers. The same goes for the website templates (which are currently downloaded at a rate of approximately 50.000 templates per month).
Revenue from customization and custom design projects have not been included in the number. The site generates a significant amount of custom design inquiries, enough to give a professional designer a full schedule.
Traffic Details
Due to lack of recent updates and new template releases, the traffic has mostly been new visitors coming in through external links or searches for website templates or WordPress themes. The site had about 3.000 unique visitors per day at an average a few years ago, but today the number is lower. See the attached traffic report for details.

Fair price for PR9. I'd personally like to see you keep it, refresh it a bit and continue pumping out some great work. Best of luck with the auction.
Jason, I support your feelings. You andreasv, try your luck with two zeros, instead
of three. Good Luck!
Hi, once again, would like to know how long this site has been a PR9. Thanks.
what a nice PR, good luck dude....
You mentioned that you have not gone out of your way to monetize it. Nevertheless, do you have any details though about income it has earned?
Also, you mentioned that as an alternative to selling it, you would consider selling just the exclusive advertising rights on it. What price do you have in mind for that? Would you consider a month-to-month advertising arrangment for exclusive advertising rights?
wow. very nice. goodluck!
very nice. goodluck!
Great Site.. Good Luck...!
what a nice PR, good luck.
you should keep this site for you and continue to grow even if you have to hire someone to do it for you. This is your entry to fame, don't let her go! Anybody buying this site will be linked to you, it is almost impossible to see. But if you need the cash, then I suggest you let her go for considerably less since the domain and the content is context is build around you..........
What's the point of having PR9 if his earning is just $3000 a month? Well the site isn't properly optimized for web designing keywords so maybe he doesnt get too many clients, otherwise he could get more than $10K per month
Hi, can you please give me an email address or a chat ID where I can contact you to proceed further.
Try to cut down 2 zeros and if I may suggest a price for your website it would surely be somewhere around $14,000.
precious007 - You are crazy, this site is worth way more than that.... I would pay $60,000 right now for the site.
like this site have no maintence well anyway
wow, i remember this site. making free wordpress templates when it was first released really paid off huh.
