zipppy is on a distinguished road

  Old  zavvu.com - Lightweight Web 2.0 Search Engine

Zavvu is a new web 2.0 light weight search engine. It is custom built and unique. Zavvu is a fantastic short, brandable and pronouncable web 2.0 domain! Perfect for a search engine and already has a great logo! I'm selling it on to focus on other projects.

Features:
Lightweight and fast!
AJAX interaction displays more results instantly without the need to reload the page!
No MySQL databases needed!
Thumbnails displayed with results!
Custom design and logo!
Easily upgradable!

Details:
The domain is at godaddy and can be pushed free.

The script is my own. You are free to use at as you want, upgrade it etc but you can only use it with zavvi.com. You cannot redistribute the script. The script will not be resold by me as is, meaning you get a unique site!

There currently are a handful of users, the site has not yet been marketed or promoted. If this site was launched properly and promoted I believe it would be a nice addition to your portfolio. I believe this is a good sale, considering the work that went into it and the package overall. I'm looking for a buyer who sees the potential in this.

Serious bids only. Anything under $300USD isnt worth my time.

I will assist the buyer in moving the site and give the buyer developer details for customisations. My developer works are very good rate.

MONOTISE:
Very easy to add your adsense etc ads to the engine. I can add these for you at the end of the sale.

BONUS: Virgin music stores have recently been rebranded zavvi. Since this search engine zavvu is one letter off and u is right next to i on the keyboard I would expect to recieve alot of hits purely from typos in the near future. Awesome!
Traffic Details:

Site is brand new and not yet promoted much though already has some visitors! Buyer should see the potential in the project.

In the last 5 days zavvu has had:

Total Sessions 575.00
Total Pageviews 2,608.00
Total Hits 5,563.00



ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS:

Can I turn off the thumbnail in results?
Yes, this is very simple to do.

Does the site require any maintenance or hosting requirements?
Zavvu requires NO maintenance whatsoever, this is the best part about it. Its been built to make it as lightweight as possible (it's only about 30 files with no databases) you can literally host it anywhere that supports PHP.

Where would I put the ads?
I'd recommend putting an ad above the results. That way when a user clicks 'More results' another add will come up at the top of THOSE results. In user testing that I have done this has brought alot of good add clicks as it leaves the user sitting right there on the ad after clicking that link. The ad is almost the next result. Very effective.

Currently at auction on sitepoint. I have set a BIN at 500USD. I believe it is worth a lot more but the auction hasn't been strong.

I will close in 3 DAYS.

My words exactly, on any other search i can find myself easy. Yours, well, i eventually found 1 link to someting i've never seen before but still holds a little content of me. To be fair, it doesnt work great.

And how do the thumbnails work?

The thumbnails are powered by a thumbshot website.

I will change the provider to Yahoo to improve results.

So far today zavvu has recieved 176 page loads and 72 unique visitors. I just started to log stats and this is much higher than I thought!

PM if you want proof, current high bid is 300USD. New bin is 450USD

Put ads on this thing and its an earner.
