Search Results for ‘forum for sale’
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.

It’s been quite a while since my last post and I regret that. I’ve been so busy that I just couldn’t find the time to write here. Also I find that there has not been as many interesting websites for sale as usually. I often first saw the good ones when they where almost already sold.
Enough about that because there’s a decent website for sale at SitePoint. The website is www.butlerwebs.com and has a steady income and lots of traffic. According to seller it makes about $3000 a month where the $2000 is through adsense. Regarding the traffic he states that there is around 15-20,000 unique visitors daily.
The fact that there’s several recent blog posts which links to the website makes me believe that it’s true. Just try and search for the website on technorati and you’ll see them.
It’s an auction and the bidding starts at $26,000, which it definitely must be worth.

I just finished reading a great book called Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki. And I thought that I should write about the financial intelligence of some webmasters.
Many of the people that daily are active in the buy/sell website forums, they have understood what it is all about. They are financial intelligent, so to say.
Here’s the reason for my statement:
- They are always on the looking for good investments
- They buy websites for the revenue generated by their websites
- They improve the websites to generate higher revenues
- They sell websites for more than they were bought for
This means that they constantly improve their cash flow by improving their website portfolio. And thereby become richer every day. The webmasters are not working for money anymore, the money are working for the webmasters.
Considering that websites typically sell for amounts around 12 months of revenue, this is also a very attractive market. If you’re constantly buying new assets for all the revenue generated by those you currently own, you’ll be experiencing an amazing growth.
Also remember that if you have a corporation for your business you won’t have to pay much in taxes (maybe even nothing) because you get tax deductions for your purchases / investments.
Of course webmasters don’t have to invest in new websites, they can just as well invest in the growth of their current websites.

On SitePoint and DigitalPoint there is a site called MyDrinkRecipes.com for sale. It’s a rather popular drink recipes website with 400,000+ monthly pageviews done by approx. 4,000 daily unique visitors.
By checking out the stats provided in the sales threads I found that there is definitely space for improvements regarding SEO for Google. The website receives only a little percentage of the overall search engine traffic from Google, which I believe doesn’t reflect the actual amount of searches on each individual search engine.
Another thing I found, that I believe all potential buyers should look into is that about 80% of the sessions doesn’t have a referrer. This is a little odd, but maybe the seller can clarify the issue. It could be that there are that many regular visitors, but I don’t think that is possible.
This website is for sale on auction with a starting bid of $3,000 and a BIN price of $6,500, which seems a little bit high considering that it makes on average $240 a month. And drinks websites doesn’t have any special growth potential - it takes hard work.

It is on auction with a starting bid of $2000, and a suggested BIN of $6000, so it seems possible to grap this site for a decent price.

There is a blog about web development, programming and standards for sale at SitePoint. The blog is digitalmediaminute.com and it should be earning around $500 a month from approx. 84.000 monthly. And 1000 daily pageviews should be coming from loyal readers - the seller states that there is ~600 subscribers of the RSS feed.
The seller has written a very good description: “This site is a weblog that consists of over 2400 posts. Each post is related to the subject area of web development, programming and standards. The site has a couple of extremely popular posts like my Character Entity Reference, Installing Rails on Fedora Core 4 and a list of top 12 Ruby On Rails Tutorials. This site is full of great content that ranks very high in Google.”
The blog is for sale on auction with the bidding to start at $10.000, which seems a little bit high, but I think it’s all about the valuation of loyal readers. Let’s just hope that the blog doesn’t have a too personal touch, which will make it hard to take over.

There is a football (soccer) website for sale at SitePoint. The website is footballexpo.com which according to seller recieves about 500.000 monthly pageviews, and generates $500-600 in revenue.
The seller claims that it has made more than $500 revenue with adsense since it was started 20 days ago. It seems rather unusual for a website to receive that much traffic so quickly after being created. But he also tells that the traffic comes from newsnow.co.uk and lots of other uk football club sites, which seems to be correct.
I wonder how much money there are in ads on sports websites of all sorts like water skiing or basketball for that matter.
The site is for sale with a BIN of $1500.

OnlineGames.net has been put up for sale at SitePoint. This is a very popular flash games website with many sorts of games - from sudoku games to action games. It has about 30,000 unique visitors a day. The site makes near $3,500 monthly through Adsense, YPN, Casale Media and Fastclick.
The traffic has been stable for several months according to seller, so it - as he says - should be a good investment. The starting bid is $45,000 with a BIN of $120,000. I’m not sure it is worth the BIN, but then again a website with this kind of traffic is often worth A LOT MORE than the “usual” 12 months of revenue.
