I have been looking around for more sites like DP if you know of some can you please tell me. i am looking for a list of Buy/Sell/trade Forums I know DP is the best on teh net for this sort of stuff and also have a lot of stuff for learning and helping others.
Sites like DP means? I can't find any site that is gonna be "exactly" like DP in any area [DP is content rich, too much traffic, too many people, too much freedom (if you don't break rules), great marketplace sections and what not? Even SitePoint can't be compared with DP. Particularly the members who sell on DP, ask them about this thing. If you make it clear the type of sites (with marketplace, programming and SEO froums, etc), then I'll be able to think further.
i've been wondering this as well.... specifically if there are other buy sell trade forums.... where else do you guys do your business? You can't get enough business from just one forum alone. And none of that, pay to post, or minimum post count bullsh*t please.
Are you using NamePros, HostBidder, etc? But I'm sure that nothing is gonna beat DP. As far as NamePros is concerned, it's full of kids.
i've used things like: Sitebazaar <-- costs $ to post WebHostingTalk Geek Village and they're all crap... don't even get me started on namepros...
lol @ site bazaar their estimated value of sites is just hilarous... "if your site is on the top 10 for a competitive keyword add $100, if its first add $150" lol wtf a site ranking #1 for a competitive keyword is worth much much more :x
There are many others out there, but DP is by far the best for business. The marketplace has a great mix of people, buyer and sellers, and sales from $30 to $30,000 can be made here. But wait, there's more! The color scheme is easy on the eyes, the people here are great, and there are a nice assortment of forum topics.
