Selling Selling ACTIVE vBulletin hip hop/rap/music forum

Hi there,

I am looking to sell my hip hop/rap forum which is running vBulletin on an owned license which will turn into a lifetime vBulletin 4 license, which means you will get lifetime free downloads of the new vBulletin 4 forum series which is about to be released and should last for 1-2 years.

The site is very active with:

Members: 697
Threads: 12,186
Posts: 214,497
Active users per day: About 100
Posts made per month: 9587
Threads made per month: 605

The site is BANNED from adsense, so you will not be able to put adsense on it, but all other ad networks are fair game. I ear about $30 a month from selling advertisement positions to people.

The site runs itself, the staff there make sure everything is smooth, all I do is upgrade the vBulletin software and thats it.

Below are google analytics screenshots for 1 month





I am selling the site because my computer is screwed and hard drive is failing, so need a new computer, also because I am moving and need some cash to move.

I am looking to get about $1000 US for it, the BIN price is $1500 which includes the site files, database and vBulletin license.

So please PM or post here if you have questions or want to make an offer.

Thanks

 

Why is it banned from adsense?

 

Because I was displaying ads against there TOS. I don't know how but only the site was banned

 

Well thats sucks. Nice site though. Do you do any advertising at all? Also do you have analytics for previous months?

 

Yeah it did suck. I was making over $2 a day in the first month from adsense. Only advertising I do is through private advertiser who contact me to advertise on the site. Other ad networks will work, but I don't use them as they haven't worked after adsense and I haven't tried again. What analytics do you wish to see??

 

I'd just like to see a few solid months of statistics if you have them. Im intersted in the site.

 

Okay below are 3 screenshots from analytics from August 1st to Now so thats 4 months

 

Adsense (and most mainstream ad networks these days) will ban your forum if you don't actively try to control the profanity. That's probably why.

Nice forum but it has a huge disadvantage right out of the gate. Traffic looks solid though. I'm thinking about it but for now it looks like too big a risk to try and promote affiliate or paid membership stuff on it.

 

You can put profanity filters on to remove them, but I dont discourage users from profanity.

I had tried using Commission Junction on the site, but I am no ad or affiliate wonder guy, so I think it may do very well for those who can and know how to do it

I need to sell this site ASAP for the cash, so feel free to make a deal with me regarding price.

Also PM me your email address and I will add you to the google analytics report so you can view it in more detail

 

Site still available if there are any interested people. Feel free to PM me or post here any questions you may have

 

I'm extremely interested.

1. Who is your host? details?

2. Is your site banned from any other ad network?

3. How long have you owned this site?

 

I host it on my vps at photonvps.com for $10 a month and it runs fine and would probably run fine on a shared host.

Site has only been banned from adsense and is still fine on every other ad network.

I have owned and run the site since the beginning 11 months ago.

 

Transaction complete.
