Websites for Sale - Site Sales Blog

Domain Prices of 2005

DNJournal provides us with a comprehensive list of domains that sold in 2005. The list includes price, date and where the domains sold. Domains that are listed has sold for prices of $10,000+

It is pretty interesting to look at the domain list to get a better idea of potential domain value, which should also be taken into consideration when buying (and selling) websites.

Boy Band Community for Sale, ~250,000 posts

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…

Active domain name forum for sale, ~10,428 posts

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.
