    Not a whole lot in common between SevenSeek and BlueFind at the moment.

    You seem confused. We're selling SevenSeek here, not BlueFind.

    Indeed, if paid or free backlinks to the directory start disappearing, the value of directory listings would be diminished. A smart buyer would continue to ensure strong link popularity for the directory.

    The business value of the directory is in the money it makes. It's hard for me to call a directory worthless when it makes well over $100,000 per year. Indeed, only a misinformed forum troll would suggest it.

    Actually, we're looking for something a lot less than $98K

    It's true that the directory does get solid submissions. It's been around for a while, and that means it's on quite a few submission lists.

    But the new owner would have to promote the directory just as we have, so it's not 100% profit.

    We're looking for a more modest figure, like $30,000. The reason we're willing to sell so cheap is because it's more important to us that the directory finds a good owner, not somebody who's just going to pocket all the submission fees and watch as the directory turns into trash.

    Good luck in the sale John.

    A directory bringing in that much is quite an achievement.

    Ohh Man. My wife and I had spent all day counting $30k in pennies we had laying around. I was almost to call you and arrange shipping to Japan on them!!!

    Great sale and a nice directory. Good luck to the new owner!

    Thats what everybody says. Most of the people who bother posting that were not going to buy it anyway and are just posing..

    congrats on sale.

    Well being that I don't frequent the sites for sale section, and found a link to this in the Directories section, I wouldn't know what "everybody says" here. But I can assure you, given the chance to buy a site making good revenue like this, I am not "posing". Thanks for your pointless comment though. :rolleyes:

    Like I said John, if your deal falls through I'll take 1st crack at it!
