www.UBlam.com ESTABLISHED Unique Website - Looking for the right Buyer
Currently ~163,000th on Alexa.com
A Summary
UBlam was created in March 2006 and soon became a big hit after a number of journalists picked up on the idea behind UBlam and news stories were release around the net. Below is one of such interesting articles which will give you an idea of how UBlam works:

To find more articles just search "UBlam" on Google.
UBlam currently (at the time of writing), has an alexa.com ranking of 163,557 although before it has been close to 40,000 on Alexa. In the first 2 months of launch of UBlam, the total revenue was $1500.However after the first two months, we stopped promoting UBlam and soon found that although it was still making constant revenue, it was much lower. Therefore we decided that UBlam needs the right webmaster (promoter) who knows exactly what to do, to get UBlam back on top, and so are selling the whole website with all its features.

Reason for selling and why UBlam has huge potential:
As I learnt through the development of UBlam, when I put a small amount of effort in getting traffic, I got a large income. For example, by creating the widgets, the miniBlam and toolbars as means of gaining traffic and emailing companies to see whether they will be interested in investing in UBlam...
However I have never quite managed to find that winning factor to get UBlam to the top of the list of websites on the internet although I did get close. I soon realised that maybe someone out there knows exactly what to do with UBlam to make it an even bigger success and thus have decided to sell it. I also no longer have the time to carry on promoting UBlam and with the second year of University upon me, I want to concentrate more on my University studies which are not computer related!
Thus I believe UBlam has a huge potential but I am just not the right person to get it there. Although UBlam is still making money without any further work, it can make much more if it falls into the hands of the right person, and I, as the developer of UBlam would be happy to see it do well even if it is in someone else’s hands.
There have been many suggestions on what to do with UBlam, such as turning it into an Adult website or creating an affiliate program, however I do not want to go down any of those lines. I will leave it to the buyer to decide. |

A unique website in every way:
By visiting the website you can see that UBlam is a very unique website in many ways. Below I have highlighted 6 features:
- Conquest Page - live geo-tracking of visitors - http://www.ublam.com/conquest.php
- The 'Blam Bar' which allows you to continue Blamming - http://www.ublam.com/blam/
- Unique design - http://www.ublam.com/index.php
- Blam Downloads - Internet Explorer Toolbar Icon and Widgets http://www.ublam.com/downloads.php
- MiniBlam – our advertising tool - http://www.ublam.com/miniblam.php
Each feature above is explained in more detail below:
- The conquest page simply is a very cool feature. It tracks where and from what countries visitors have pressed the Blam button from. Our aim was to try and get at least one "Blammer" from every country!
- The Blam Bar is also another interesting feature. The Blam Bar is the toolbar which appears at the top of the page once the Blam button on the homepage is pressed. This allows visitors to hit the Blam button again to see another website. Think of UBlam as a colourfull magazine, and the Blam Bar allows you to flick through the pages.
- The unique design of the site is what appeals to most webmasters. You simply will not find such a neat and sleek design anywhere else. It was created by Christian Clough especially for UBlam. Alot of time was given in getting the correct professional yet cool look for UBlam.
- The Blam downloads are a great way to gaining traffic and lots of time was involved in creating these features. The two main features are the Blam Internet Explorer toolbar icon, and the Blam widget to allow people to hit the Blam button without the need to type the address in their address bar. The button is simply available to them to press whenever they turn on their computers.
- The miniBlam is a great feature. It is simply our advertising tool. So far we have given one free entry on UBlam to anyone who puts the miniBlam on their website, however clearly people will be more than happy to put the miniBlam on their website if they are given more free entries on UBlam.
(the real version is pushable!)
Below you can see some locations of our miniBlams and links to UBlam. There are many more arround the net, these are just some that I found: http://www.therestlessmouse.com/

- The system is 99% automated. People who wish to add their website to UBlam simply visit the join page, add their links and how many entries they wish to add (at a cost of $1 per entry). They are then taken to the payment page through which they pay you for the entries they have added. They can also edit their links in the future if they wish by visiting the edit links page.
One thing to note is that you will be getting ALL of the source code to all of these features. By purchasing UBlam, you could, for example, use the geotracking script on another site completely, make your own widgets branded with whatever logo you want or even change the icon used in the Internet Explorer Toolbar Icon installer to your own! We have done the ground work on these little features, and they can all be quite easily modified for a different site (or whatever) all together... |

FAQ
- So what exactly do I get when I buy UBlam?
We will send you every bit of source code and piece of information we have for UBlam. This will allow you to modify everything about the site or use any of the features in any other way you choose (for example on another website altogether). This includes:
- A copy of the whole site as it is on the internet
- All of the PHP scripts and Javascript.
- The original Photoshop Files for all of the images.
- Source code for the Widgets (Konfabulator and Mac OS X Dashboard).
- Visual Basic Source code for the Internet Explorer Toolbar Icon Installer.
- The usernames and passwords for the Web Hosting account (FTP and Web control panel etc.)
- Excel Spreadsheets of the Accounts so far.
- Technical support over the phone for up to two months after selling to answer any questions you may have.
A transfer over the internet of all this information is possible by whatever method you prefer, we can also post you a CD if neccessary.
- So where do the customers come from?
Initially our customers came through direct marketing by emailing various companies and posting on forums describing the UBlam concept. Website owners soon picked up on the idea and decided to invest in UBlam.
Once journalists got hold of our story of UBlam, articles were written and the readers of these articles were interested by the idea and also invested.
Some of our customers originally downloaded our widgets through Yahoo widget gallery and other widget galleries and once they realised they could add their own websites to the UBlam list, they invested.
The best way of gaining customers is ofcourse through an affiliate program, for example website owners can get free entries on UBlam by referring people to UBlam.
- What domain names are provided in this sale?
As well as the website itself and all its unique features, you are given the domains "UBlam.com" and "YouBlam.com" with this sale.
- What will you be doing to run this website once you have bought it?
All you will be doing is verifying the links which are added to UBlams list. The system is fully automatic so you will not have to do anything technical. You will be given a specific web area on UBlam from which you can verify the links (websites) which your customers add to UBlam.
Other than that, to increase the number of customers you can simply go around promoting the website and making sure all website owners know about it.
If you are a professional web developer then I am sure you already have many plans on what to do with UBlam and how to make it a big success.
- Are there any conditions with this sale?
Yes. There is only one condition which must be met in order to keep us loyal to our customers who have already invested in UBlam. As we have said in our disclaimer, all entries will stay on UBlam for at least 2 years guaranteed. As a result all of the links added to UBlam by the 158 customers who have invested must remain on UBlam for at least 2 years unless they agree to have it removed from the UBlam list.
This will also benefit you since many of our current investors have infact reinvested in UBlam once they saw it working well. And if you can also proove that you will make UBlam a big hit, then they will be the first to be coming back and investing more.
- How much support will I be getting from you after the purchase?
As part of this deal, we will give you our personal telephone contact number and email address and can guarantee you full technical support for 2 months after the completion of this sale. Thus for example if you do not understand the inner workings of parts of the site, you may contact us and we will explain it fully.
- I have another question...
Just send me an email and I'll get back to you as soon as I can, usually within a matter of hours.
