An established site offering legal torrent indexing services was founded in November 2005, featuring custom coding to index private torrent sites and gather release names, without hosting or linking to copyrighted files. Originally purchased in August 2008 when it claimed earnings of approximately $700 monthly, the site underperformed financially and was filled with advertisements. The new owner removed these ads to improve user experience, fixed its failed forum features, and reconnected with the original coder to restore site functionality.
By summer 2009, a redesign was undertaken, and the site started promoting new P2P products, eventually finding more success with alternative affiliate programs. Unfortunately, a server crash that July led to data loss, but after recovery efforts, site traffic began to rise. A subsequent redesign in November made the site more SEO-friendly, which significantly increased daily unique visitors to 10,000. The site code allows for potential expansion into a torrent tracker or further indexing capabilities, although the current owner opted to maintain legal status due to prevailing anti-piracy sentiments.
The site, hosted on a dedicated server with specific technical specifications, costs around €282 for a three-month lease. Though the site is legal and generates income through various affiliate programs, the owner seeks to sell it for $15,000 to fund a new project, offering three months of free support post-sale. Revenue details highlight monthly earnings between $246 and $1,640 over several months. Potential buyers are invited to seek more information and view attached traffic statistics.
