  Old  [For Sale] Halo 3 Forum and Gaming Site!

Brief Information

Site: H3Compete.com
Genre: Halo 3 Forums, Tournaments and Videos.
Purpose of site: The purpose of this site is to allow videogame players to competitively and to discuss their favorite multiplayer shooter. Halo 3 has been very successful, and so has this site. This site has halo 3 related discussions and tournaments. We also have weekly contests, such as snipe of the week, and also the clip of the week. We have tournaments every weekend, which have been major hits.

Are the forums Licensed?
Yes. But, they do not come with this sale.

Why am I selling?
I don't have the time or money to keep the site running. In order to do so, I have to get rid of the site. It has grown tremendously in 1.5 months, and it saddens me to see it leave so soon.

Will I help the new owner?
Yes, I will tell the new owner manage the site. I will also tell him all the ideas I had planned and how to mange every aspect of the site. I will also tell him where to advertise and promote, how to post and get people for the tournaments.

Sale Information

Revenue Details

Tournaments: We have ran one paid tournament in the pass and it was a complete success. In our paid tournaments we usually give out 90% to the top 3 teams, and keep 10% to the site. But as a new owner, you can determine what percents you want to give and keep.
Google Adsense/YPN: Something, I experimented with, but didn't fully implement it like what I've done in the past. I used to own www.hgtourneys.com and have made $4 a day from adsense. If you visit the forums, you will see it but nothing advanced. Currently I have made minimal money from adsense. I have made $9.11 off of adsense, it has great potential, I was just experimenting and made a good amount.

Technology/Script
I had a tournament script made by Xuxa. This script allows a user to pay for a tournament and automatically be displayed on a specified page. The script will be thrown in FREE.

Front End: The front end is a simple form, which is customizable from the backend. It has fields such as name, gamertag, email, aim, etc.

Back End: Allows for you to specify the cost of the tournament, the date, the number of opens, and the size of the teams.

Functionality: The script functions using paypal. All payments are processed and handled through paypal. The script checks paypal's database, and then returns a value which is then submitted to a database on our site. Once approved the team is then listed on the success page.
