    It's a great site but I doubt DP will see that, this is usually for site max 2k. But you can try as well. It's a very good site, and very good articles. I would buy it if you ever visit Panama. I recommend you to go to sitepoint or something. Or if you ever come to Panama, I will pay you cash.

    Best Regards.

    Is this an auction, or are you firm with your $15,000 price? How much time do you spend on the site, and can you give more details about banner ads than $35 - $200?

    By the way, don't waste your money on Flippa. There are a lot of people who moved here when they changed sites.

    I will not sell it for under $15,000. I spend about 30-60 minutes a day to create new posts. There is a plugin that submits all new posts to twitter.
    Right now I have only one banner advertiser for $50 a month (http://buysellads.com/buy/detail/7480) but I also had others that paid more.

    I agree with Benitez, flippa is turning to be the scammer paradise, specially when they still allow scammer sellers to remove post that put them in evidence.
    DP rules ! Good luck with yr sale, looks to be a very well establised arch site

    Yea, the old sitepoint marketplace was much better / but they still claim that flippa is a big success.

    I just removed it from the blog, the clickrate was poor and I placed the banner there instead. It is still on the subpages.

    Hi Smaaz,

    Can you give an account of profit per month since you have owned the site?

    I.e. income (adsense, adverts, affiliate links etc.) - expenses (hosting, paid search traffic, anything else you pay for) for each month.

    I think you need to sell this like a business and show your equivalent of a "Profit and Loss account". After all you do want $15k = not small change.

    And personally I would consider that 30/60 minutes per day as a cost perhaps factor that in as $300 / month assuming it is 1 hour, 7 days per week, $10/hour.

    Regards,

    Martin

    nice site dude, unfortunately i don't think is worth 15k because is not even make 15k per years

    if you go down with the offer let me know - I am happy to pat one day earning multiple 365 days

    also, let's stick on DP which is free, where flippa you have to pay and than you get scam

    i was trying to sell few site there and people made a bid and they never get back to me - LOVE DP - DONT FLIPPA

    Is there not a link to the directory from the homepage? It's a nice looking site, but I don't think it's worth $15k. If you decide to accept lower offers, let me know.

    I might be interested in this, as it's a good fit for the rest of my network. A few questions if you don't mind:

    1. What script does the yellow pages run on, and what are the server reqmnts for it?
    2. How much bandwidth/month does the whole site use?
    3. How much of the traffic is due to search engines? If you run G.Analystics, can you add me to the account? (I'll PM you my addy)
    4. Will you provide resources you sue to find the press releases to the buyer
    5. Why are you selling?
    6. The yeloow pages- do you need to update often for new sumbissions/out of date addresses etc?

    thanks

    Your Adsense screenshot adsense1.gif shows a duplicate entry for Feb 9, 2009. Is that an error from Adsense ?
