What are +4 million pageviews worth these days?

Trying to get someone's advertising onto those pages is not an easy task the way things are set up today. The sites would be a good opportunity for someone who wanted to remake them into what the future of story sites should look like. I have too many other things going on these days to think I'll have time to get these rebuilt how I'd like them, and it takes too much time to update them the way they are now.

Fonz - I'm pretty sure Google has a lot of returning traffic too. I'd be willing to say that this traffic in not more valuable than Google traffic, but I wouldn't concede that it's only worth one-fifth of what their traffic is worth. Sex story surfers are pretty good traffic, as those here who have story sites will know.

universally (via script) pull each page of the site into a frame where you have SOLD (leased) the frames ad space for revenue...

contact the appraisal dept. over at sedo.com for an evaluation (appraisal) ...

consider parking it on sedo.com for a few hours to get revenue generation stat proof - to show a potential bidder at sedo.com

turn the site into a text feed and lease that to others...
that would be a revenue source that should be provable...

just a few thoughts...

Good Luck with your project...
