Search Results for ‘blog community’
I almost didn’t notice that stylegala.com is up for sale at SitePoint. It’s a highly popular web design community with lots of traffic. In the sales thread it says that there is about 4,200,000 monthly pageviews from 900,000 visits.There is of course also revenue which is about $2500 a month.
Well, it’s a very interesting website and there is too much about it for me to write about here. So check out the sales thread. Remember that such a site will take a lot of maintenance.
There has also been some buzz about this on various blogs.
It’s on auction with a starting bid of $30,000 which has already been made, also a $36,000 has been made. But that’s still a steal since the website is worth a lot more.

I just found out that BlogExplosion (which I previously reported being for sale) has been sold for a pretty decent amount. On their blog they write “Our final closing price was in the six figures and well beyond our minimum bid of $100,000“. That’s a very nice sale, and for the notice it was brokered by Jeremy Wright!
On the official BlopExplosion blog they also write about a lot of new features and improvements that will be implemented. It’s great to see that the buyer has big plans for the website, and that they’re not just interested in “milking the cow”.

Thers is a free hosting community for sale at SitePoint. The URL is stormloader.com and stormpages.com. The community is very community is very old since it’s established back in 1999.
Seller describes the community as: “Free hosting community with over 200,000 members. A user signs up for free, then can build a website. Completely automated software. It runs by itself.”
Seller states that there is a revenue of $4000 to $6000 monthly from Adsense and YPN placed on the member sites. The traffic is also pretty high with 4 - 5 million monthly pageviews, which comes from members promoting their websites.
The community is for sale with a price of $70.000 - not an auction.

There is a guitar forum called Guitars101.com currently for sale at SitePoint. It looks like a good website with plenty of activity. And the stats for the forum seems very good too with almost 30,000 threads containing about 350,000 posts. And there is 20,005 registered members.
The site is making $400-500 a month through adsense according to seller. That should be possible increase I think.
The site is for sale with a starting bid of $10,000 and a BIN at $12,000, which compared to the income seems rather high. But it is for sure that there is a lot of potential for this site.
Update: I guess someone saw the potential, since it has just sold for the BIN price.

At Dnforum there is a huge forum for sale. The forum is located at blogring.net and it is a blogging related forum mainly for xanga and myspace. With its almost 100,000 threads containing more than 1,6 million posts it is definitely a huge forum.
The traffic is also there since it gets about 5,000 uniques a day - and the seller says something about 40,000 impressions, but I’m not sure if that is ads he is talking about.
As it is stated in the thread the site is pretty slow due to the forum software that needs to be upgraded etc.
The seller is looking for bids over $9,000 and he currently has a bid at $13,000.

There is a boy band (breeding 5..?) community for sale at Dnforum. The forum is located at www.breeding5.com and seems pretty active. It has about 15,000 monthly uniques and 150,000 monthly pageviews according to seller. There is currently 260,626 posts and 5,245 members.
Almost every forum category has had activity today, and there a lots of threads in which this activity occurs.
It is on auction with a starting bid at $995, but the seller looks for $2,000+. With a $75 monthly adsense revenue this seems a bit high, but I would judge that the adsense is badly implemented, and that there definitely is opportunities for big improvements. Like implemeting more adsense elements - one in between of posts.
Also the indexing in Google and Yahoo is not much, so with a little bit of SEO and link building I guess that you could increase the traffic. That is, if there are searches in this “niche”.
Only thing I would worry about, is potential issues regarding the domain name. I don’t know if this is a real problem, but I recall there beeing some previous cases about using artist names in domains. Heck, I don’t even know what the exact name of the boy band is…

I just spotted a webmaster & domain name forum for sale at NamePros. The forum itself seems pretty dead, but according to the statistics provided by the seller, there is a decent amount of traffic.
The forum is RealDN and it has a pagerank 4. In this month there has been around 13,000 uniques who did ~54,000 pageviews.
The seller wants the bidding to start of at $500, but he has a reserve, and mentions that the right offer will buy immediately. The auction will be for 7 days and seller will post a BIN in a couple of days.
This forum could be a good start to create a community, but remember that there is plenty of webmaster and domain forums already.
There are two things to notice. 1. Theres was a huge drop in traffic in November and December according to the stats. 2. There is a lot of links in the bottom, so the link popularity might be obtained through such link exchanges.

There is a domain name community for sale at Ebay. It is the forum dncommunity.com that is up for auction.
The current bid is $1,125 and the reserve has been met. The auction ends in 9 days, and there has been serveral bidders, so you should expect the price to become higher - especially in the hours just before the auction ends.
The site has some traffic - according to screenshots there was ~65,000 pageviews and ~6,500 uniques in december 2005. The stats for this month shows the same pattern. The traffic has been increasing since may 2005.
There are some activity in the forums, but it is mostly in the “Domains for Sale” forum. The other forums seems a bit quiet.
