Search Results for ‘selling forum’
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.”

The first one is a Hip Hop Forum that is listed for sale at Dnforum and NamePros. The forum stats according to seller are as following: threads: 50,711, posts: 701,104, members: 6,631, which makes it a pretty large forum. The site has a revenue of $400-800 a month coming from Casale, Fastclick and YPN.
It doesn’t seem to get that much traffic, since the seller talks about a potential buyer would make $1,000+ if they bring it up to 2,000+ unqiues a day, so this should be taken into consideration. With a minimum price of $10,000 I think it could be a bit too high, because the site is already cluttered with a lot of advertising. But a forum can be a very good investment if you’re able to grow it.
The second one is a BitTorrent forum, which is for sale at NamePros. According to the stats screenshots provided in the thread it is obvious that the site has a huge amount of traffic. It doesn’t have that many threads or posts, but with 90,000+ registered users I believe that there is reason to call it a large forum. The asking price is $60,000 so it is a sale that needs deeper investigation if you’re a potential buyer.

There is an “amazing” deal at DigitalPoint. Someone is selling a website with 4000+ daily uniques and a $10 - $20 daily revenue. It is for sale for just with a BIN at $200 or best offer. That is less than 20 days of revenue, so I think that there has to be a catch, or is this guy just desperate to get $200..?
“When something sounds to good to be true, it probably is”, but I can’t find the exact thing. I have some quick thoughts of potential risks, but I can’t tell for sure.
The risks that came to my mind was:
- Framing other websites isn’t always accepted, and there could be legal threats.
- There could be legal issues with BitTorrent search engines. Even though it “just” uses other search engines.
So would you consider buying such a website, maybe even that one?
Update: It seems like he has just edited the thread, and the BIN is now $300.

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 stumbled upon a forum website for sale at sedo. I can see that the forum has more than 1 million posts, which is pretty much, and according to the sedo tracker there is ~40,000 monthly uniques doing ~400,000 pageviews.
So when I see that it is for sale for only $2,500 I almost can’t believe it. Shouldn’t it be worth more? In generel I believe it should, but I really can’t judge this, since I don’t understand turkish.

Since I’ve been away for some days now I haven’t noticed that it was announced that the blog herald is up for sale at SitePoint. Apparently the supposed sale felt through due to unknown reasons. I wonder what the reason is, but Duncan and Jeremy might not tell us.
It is going to be exciting to see what it sells for, if thea sale goes through this time. The BIN price is set at $50,000, which is 22 grand less than what it was supposed to sell for the first time.
Syntagma has some interesting stats for the blog herald for interested buyers.
