Financial website up for sale

    the domain is FinanceGurus.net
    PR2
    Alexa 650,000

    Revenue comes from Kontera and text links i havnt added adsense to it yet.

    The site has unique content which can be found under the articles section.
    The site has a finance directory installed which is custom made for the site and is fully integrated into mybb so you can arrange to have it whereby you need x number of posts to upload your info (or set it to 0), The skin was based on another skin but has been changed a lot and so is completely unique also.

    Traffic isnt great its around 500 a month but the site is 3 months old so will obviously increase, i have also just today arranged for someone to submit the site to finance directories and also to digg/stumble the site so i would imagine in the next few days i will see that increase.

    I had every intention of working this through to the end however due to personal circumstances with myself and time constraints with my partner we have decided to sell. My partner is 100% behind the sale and there will be no discrepencies with the domain content or anything else.


    You will be buying a site that has a lot of uniqueness to it and is ready to promote as such. Nothing needs to be done to the site as a whole everythgin is run through the 1 mybb control panel. (mybb is forum software largely regarded as a free competitior to vb).

    If you need anymore info please let me know although i think i have given a fairly full description of the site.

    I would like offers to start at $50 and see incriments of $10.

    Also just to be aware xmas is nearly here the credit crunch hits people in feb/march, that gives you chance to get the site transferred, get credit and lloan affiliates set up already for when people need it most.

    Alexa 650,000 from only 12 members? Is the site banned by adsense?

    I noticed that all the posts are originated by one author, did you buy the posts?

    site has earnt around $30-40 in the 1 full month it was online so will set the BIN at $400 which is just over 10 months revenue but based on the fact there has been no adsense on the site, i think $400 could easily be reached in 6-7 months

    also forgot to mention there are 1 or 2 presell articles purchased which will have to be kept on the site but they shouldnt affect the site in anyway as they are content articles all finance related

    no! the site is not banned by adsense. I have never done anything dodgy or iffy with anyone of my websites.

    I did pay for some posts to get a little content there yes, however the registrations arnt all mine some people have genuinely signed up and are nothing to do with me at all

    Hi Im the other admin, I fully authorize the sale.
    You can earn like $60+ per lead with finance related affiliate programs such as loans and credit cards.

    The directory will create generate traffic and some free backlinks,
    the forum will create vast amounts of page views if you advertise pay per impression
    the Articles will generate traffic from places like digg and stumble, Also good quality content for SEO

    OK to sell this quick and to generate a little more interest i will set the BIN at $250 which is around 6 months revenue.
    Also there have been more links done including 1 cuckee.com and 1 on big-boards.com

    This site is totally unique, everything is run through the 1 control panel (forums/articles/news/directory) Very eas to run and manage, just needs someone with a little ime to get posting and what not, there is over 200 pages indexed in google

    Im selling due to receiving some bad news in my family, and also with chris not having the time to cover both my role and his we have decided to sell this site as we dont have the time to get it to where we would like to within the timescales we set ourselves.

    I will check with Chris and i will give the closing date/time later on today, however we would like as close to the $250 as possible, it may aswel sit on a server with us doing nothing and it would earn $60.

    (Totally off subject but i like you SEO forum Matt, i might register)
