Search Results for ‘forum for sale’
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 spanish forum - basilando.com for sale at NamePros. It has more than a thousand members and there is 50000+ posts and this is, according to seller, increasing by ~250 posts daily. My spanish is pretty bad, so all I could understand from the site is that it covers various topics 
This month it has had about 100 daily uniques doing more than 2000 pageviews a day. There isn’t much information in the sales thread but the site seems interesting.

There are several interesting websites for sale today, so I’ll just make a short summary of each of them.
The first is for sale at SitePoint:
A t-shirt website called crewddewdsshirts.com. It has a monthly revenue of $500+ made by selling shirts, but also has income from shareasale.com and other sites they are affliated with, along with adsense, bidvertiser, adbrite, etc. The website itself is really clutered with all sorts of stuff like links, banners etc. but it still interesting since it makes money and it gives space for improvement.
The second is for sale at SitePoint:
The website feedbomb.com is a blog / feed directory with 25,000 monthly pageviews from ~3,300 unique visitors. The site makes about $33 dollars a month, but I think this could be improved be placing ads on all pages, and by changing the ad formats. One thing to be aware of is that many bloggers don’t like to have their full feeds published on other sites, so I think it would be a good idea to make the site only show 250-350 charaters of each feed item.
The third is for sale at DigitalPoint:
There isn’t much information in the sales thread - not even the URL - but it is a weight loss related blog that makes decent money ~$3000 a month.
The fourth is for sale at sedo:
The website LoveOGram.com is a simple viral website where people can let other people know that they have a crush on them - anonymously. The website has about 3000 - 4000 daily uniques, and I think it could be monetized much better - even though I don’t know how much the owner is making from it.

After writing my previous post about validating pagerank I thought to myself that I also need to explain the following problem where sites with a real pagerank is for sale, but with one big problem being that the pagerank is likely to drop after the next update.
What you need to be aware of, is that there is another kind of scam where sellers try to sell high pagerank sites, but the high pagerank has been obtained through few links on very high pagerank sites of their own, or that they just have access to, and those links are likely to be removed after a sale. Here is an example:
- Some guy has a website (A) with a good pagerank let’s say 8.
- He wants to make some easy money by selling another website (B).
- So he links to website B from website A.
- After the next toolbar pagerank update website B will most likely have obtained a REAL pagerank of 7.
- Then he puts it up for sale on some forums where someone ends up buying it.
- After the deals is through he removes the link from website A
- The next time Google measures link popularity (NOT the toolbar pagerank) website B has a pagerank next to zero.
- So the website that was bought is worth almost nothing - based on pagerank.
I’ll just repeat yesterdays tip: “The next time you’re valuating a website based on its pagerank. Check if the pagerank is real and that it is not likely to drop after the next update.”

There is another MySpace site for sale at SitePoint. This site is myspace-place.com which like the one I just mentioned has traffic of 110,000 monthly pageviews.
It also has revenue, but that is only ~$135 monthly through adsense, so it is only earning a third compared to the other MySpace site. So I guess that any buyers should take this into consideration. Since the two sites are alike, it is very possible that by looking at the best performing site, one could improve this site to earn much more than it currently does.
Another interesting thing about this site, is that 50% of the traffic is coming from search engines, according to seller. And most of the the other visits is through affiliates or they are returning visitors. So a buyer should consider if it is possible to gain traffic directly from peoples MySpace profiles.
The site is for sale on auction and the bidding starts at $1200.

The site is krustie.com which is for sale at SitePoint. It is turnkey but it has traffic of about 140,000 monthly pageviews and revenue of ~400$ trough adsense.
The adsense is very aggressively positioned, so I wouldn’t expect on improving revenue through those. But if you already have a deal with a CPM based ad network, you might be able to increase revenue by implementing such, at the same time as having adsense.
As I understand it, most of the traffic comes from peoples MySpace profiles, but the seller also talkes about SEO and some rankings, so I guess there is also some search engine traffic.
The website is for sale for $3000, which seems okay if it is the kind of site, where it is not hard to keep the traffic at the current level. I think that one would be able to earn back their investment.

At SitePoint there is a new sales thread for a very unique website I think. The URL is scriptscribbler.com and it is a PSP programming tutorial website. I believe that is an interesting niche, that one could make decent money from.
The website is pretty small in page count, but it has traffic, ~100,000 pageviews a month, and a revenue of $150 monthly from adsense. Traffic comes from the many links the site has obtained - probably because of its uniqueness. Also there is a lot of traffic coming from search engines, and the site has seems to have many top rankings for the keywords of the niche.
With the uniqueness of the subject, and the likeliness of the site probably almost being an authority in the field, I guess one would be able to get a forum going quite well. Regarding the adsense, I think a new web design could increase the CTR. An e-mail newsletter when there are new tutorials would probably increase visits.
The catch is, that you would have to know about PSP programming. Or you could maybe find someone with the expertise, and have them continue the lessons by writing further tutorials, and participate in the forum, if the site got one implemented. But maybe the owner is willing to do some paid work after the sale.

I honestly believe that there is too many webmaster communities for sale at the moment. There is like a new one up for sale every day. And almost everyone of them are very small with few visitors, members, posts, articles etc.
Why do some people create these, and why is there other ones buying these, when there is already a lot of large and very popular webmaster communities? It is really hard to bring something new to this area, and almost just as hard to create something as good. To succeed in creating a good, large and profitable webmaster community you would have to be blessed with some amazing marketing skills.
I think that the main reason for this, is that most of the people creating websites are into webmastering. So it is the obvious thing for them to create since they know about it. The people buying these communities are probably in the exact same situation.
This is what I found of webmaster communities for sale, by browsing about 10 days back in some forums.
And then there is this thread where someone wants to buy such forums for their userbase - which makes it pretty clear that it is hard to market such a site and get users. But this guy might be on to something - in some cases it is cheaper and easier to buy other sites to merge with your own than through organic growth.
But as stated I believe there is too many of them for sale. But they are certainly not the only kind of sites that there are too many of being for sale. I also see small image hosting and arcade sites for sale almost everyday.
