I'd be happy to hear if there are further suggestions on how to create an audience for an auction.

Sitepoint website sales.

Also, this is not good: Our traffic has hit up to 75,500 monthly visitors, averages 40,000 but currently is at 6,000.

I know. Should I take it out or leave it in for full disclosure?

Definitely leave it in. Any serious buyer would ask for this info early along in the process anyway.

A potential buyer wanting to know what your traffic "was" or "once was" isn't something that should necessarily come up. I'd tell buyers your traffic is 6,000 uniques, and leave it at that. If they ask about the past use the 75K number then (and only to highlight the potential of the site, not what it 'once was'). The way it's phrased now looks like the site is heading south.
