Selling Xbox Kinect site

Discussion in 'Sites' started by zinghana, Aug 9, 2010.

    Site:
    KinectForums.NET
    Code (markup):
    [​IMG]

    Formally known as "Project Natal" and now renamed "Xbox Kinect" is a new wireless / controller-less addon for the Xbox 360.. Project Natal was getting 800,000+ monthly google searches so you should understand just how big this niche is going to be.

    The site is built around vBulletin 4 & VBSEO.. licenses will be included with the sale, however the are not eligible for transfer for another 28 days (so if someone purchases the site before this time, i will put it in writing that the licenses will be transferred was they can be).

    SITE FEATURES:

    - CMS / Articles page (main page)
    - Forums (community forums)
    - Blogs (staff / member blogs)
    - Media (videos / audio section)
    - Kinect Store (Amazon powered store)

    Future Revenue:

    - Adsense
    - Amazon sales
    - Console mod sales
    - Link sales / 3rd party advertising

    SERP's:

    2nd page of google for the main keyword "Xbox Kinect" this should get stronger with the amount of offsite SEO work i have done, also i created the style that is being used on the site and also released it for free on vBulletin.org.. the style contains a footer link "Style designed by Xbox Kinect" the link is using "Xbox Kinect" as the anchor and everyone using the style is effectively creating strong front page backlinks to the site, this will help the SERP's greatly.. also submitted to 200+ high PR directories.

    Sale Price:

    Just taking offers (No BIN in mind), that said i am looking to sell ASAP.... this is going to be a massive niche to be in, you only need to look at how well the Nintendo Wii has done.. this site really has a lot of potential so please no DP low ballers. PM or Reply with your offers if your looking for a quality site that will be very successful.

    Hi

    Can the 'homepage' be changed to domain.net instead of domain.net/content/ ?

    Hi, Currently ive only had a few low ballers contact me regarding this site, as i don't have a BIN / Reserve in mind i am just awaiting offers.

    Yes this can be done, i actually spoke with the VBSEO developers regarding this matter and was informed it is better for SEO purposes, however i am going to use the Custom Re-Write Rules in the VBSEO CP to redirect this to KinectForums.NET.. I will get this sorted out tonight.

    Again i am sorry i don't have a solid BIN or Reserve price in mind, i was just hoping for a few offers and weigh them up, ideally i would like to sell ASAP, due to the massive / growing interest in this niche it's hard to come up with a solid BIN price.. the site will start making good revenue once the site reaches a top ranking, 800,000+ searches per month for "Project Natal" as people become aware that it is now called "Xbox Kinect" the numbers should be around the same, also closer to the release date and after the release the traffic should be upwards of 10k uniques daily which from experience in the past with sites with traffic like that earnings are usually around $50- per day.

    Anyways i am open to offers.

    Regards, Darren

    EDIT: I also have this listed on Flippa as a private listing.. and do intend on listing this on other sites, PM me if you would like the Flippa URL.. but i am happy to trade here also so long as users / buyers have positive iTrader. Thanks

    Guys ive done a LOT of HIGH PR Backlink work for this.. this really should have at least a top 5 ranking once all the new backlinks / articles / linkwheels get indexed... Please no more SUB PAR offers !!

    vBulletin 4 publishing suite license $300-, VBSEO License $150-, Style released for free (1 week of designing) very popular style on VB.org... this means many many more front page backlinks, "Project Natal" was getting 800,000 monthly searches... now named "Xbox Kinect" the numbers will be around the same.. and will only get stronger towards the release date and for a long time after.. the site it's self is already getting signs up's and people posting.. this really has a lot of potential.

    Anyways i am looking to sell ASAP to help fund some advertising for my business, but if a decent offer does not come through shortly i will hold onto the site, im not being rude or smart, but people PM'ing me saying i'll give you $80 if the posts are real and the vb4 license is legit... getting a little bit annoying now.

    PM or Reply if your interested in a site that will make good revenue and will build a great userbase.

    No offence, but just tell people how much your looking for. "No offers below xxx"

    Your trying to sell, its not a mind reading forum.

    Sorry, I get annoyed when people say they need to sell ASAP, but dont put a price.

    In the words of Dragons Den - Im out.

    "Sorry, I get annoyed when people say they need to sell ASAP, but don't put a price."

    I said i will weigh up any reasonable offers... it's quite that the VB4 and VBSEO licenses are worth more than $80 offers... yess i would like to sell ASAP so i can run some adword campaigns for my business.. I don't have a solid BIN in mind, that's why i said i am open to offers, im not looking to 10k+ or anything close to, but it's quite clear that i have outlayed $500+ already and invested a lot of my time and for people to make sub $100- offers and demand that i hand over my vbulletin account and not just the license, then yes i do get annoyed. No body seems to appreciate hard work anymore.

    If i make an offer for a website that doesn't have a BIN price.. i assess the site and concerning factors and make a reasonable offer if i want to acquire the site, i don't make offers that i know are a joke. Anyways apologies for not having a BIN.. it's hard to evaluate as the sheer amount of interest in this niche is crazy, ive spent more time today building quality backlinks once all backlinks are indexed and the site starts receiving more traffic then i will put a solid price tag on this.

    As no respectable offers have come from here, ive listed this on Flippa and also other webmaster forums, I will keep all threads updated.

    Thanks

    I offered you $350 because the site is brand new and has minimal posts, etc. Maybe if you replied to me and we negotiated on a price, you would of had a buyer, I have no problem paying the 'right' price for a website, but you didn't give me anything to go on so I threw a number out there. Sorry, but like powerful_rogue said, please state that you don't want offers below xxx. Thanks.

    Rofl. You'll be quicker playing the lottery to make a quick buck than trying to pull stunts like this. A site changes from $30 to $XXXX overnight?

    Stunt ???... yes i paid $30 for the Domain name ONLY... the previous owner was using Free Forum Software on the site... i told the seller i was only interested in the Domain Name and that i did not want the site files... I then installed my vBulletin 4 License and VBSEO License on the domain (which i had purchased 2 months ago, costing a total of $450-)....... you can confirm with the previous domain owner !!!!

    Ive spent a solid week working on this site, design, promotion, Quality backlinks.. directories, articles, link wheels etc... "A site changes from $30 to $XXXX overnight?" well i don't know about you but i don't do a weeks for free....... and who said i was asking $x,xxx ?????? i simply said stop making offers below the cost of the licenses being used !!! you can't get anyone to create a custom vBulletin 4 style for less than $300-

    Please tell me how this is a STUNT ?? I am an honest hard working webmaster... part of my job is Flipping sites... in which i am doing now..

    PROOF OF LICENSES:

    vBulletin 4 publishing suite license:
    SEE HERE $300-

    VBSEO license: SEE HERE $150-


    Anyone else want to try and put me down ? well if this is going to cause this much stir consider the site off the market then.. i will re-list after the Xbox Kinect addon is released.
