These banners will also become property to the new owner after site sale.
(I have also used Text Ads with Adwords for Search, I will release all my campaign keywords, and text ads to the new owner)

http://www.siggz.net/ads/Sigg-Flash1.swfI have lowered the price considerably, this is the perfect opportunity for someone who knows how to market a website (something I am just learning how to do).
I am looking to sell this, as this is my full time job, I create sites that are fully developed / established. I have also found out that I am pregnant again (whoo hoo) :) So, the time for saving money begins.
I had toyed with notion of keeping it, however I really have a lot to learn about the world of online marketing. :)
This site is showing that it has gone viral. Most of the traffic is coming from Forum Signatures (the graphics that are created on Siggz.net) and Organic Traffic from Google.
Siggz.net ranks very high for some nice keywords:
See below: Source Google.COM
blinkie generator : PAGE 1
create a sig : PAGE 1
forum sigs : PAGE 1
forum signature graphics: PAGE 1
create family sig : PAGE 1
scrapbook sigs: PAGE 1
family sigs: PAGE 1
Alot of the traffic is coming from Myspace and BEBO as well. People seeing the user sigs that people have created and are coming to the Siggz.net site to create their own.
If you are looking for something to market to the Myspace, Bebo niches as well. Siggz.net has applications that can be found no where on the web. They are completely unique to Siggz.net and will stay completely unique to Siggz.net
I have increased traffic considerably within the past couple of weeks. I would say that about 75 % of the traffic is coming organically from Google and Yahoo.
REVENUE DETAILS:
Google Adsense (this is the only source of monetization that I have put on the site thus far)
Since traffic has spiked and I begun my marketing attempts, the amount that I have been earning with Google Adsense has increased by about $5.00 / day.
Buy / Create a Sig Marketplace:
http://www.siggz.net/community/forumThis is something that I have currently been working on. I have received several offers from interested users that would like to have their own sig created by someone else. I have done a few myself and have earned about $50.00 in the meantime.
I have also received emails from sig designers who would like to offer their services for this part of the Sig Marketplace.
The marketplace is in it's first stages, but you see the possibility for huge growth here. This would be another way to generate revenue for the site.
If you are wondering how popular this niche is, just take a look at some Parenting / Women's Forums and you will find your answers. Also do a little bit of research on Google. Its huge, and pretty well untapped.
I will be posting Proof of Traffic (from AWSTATS and Statcounter) and as well as some Revenue Stats.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
Thanks!
