    Ok well im looking to further my own personal business and I need some moola.

    im looking to sell

    otakucenter (dot) com

    Made about $250/mo with clicksor w/popunder but had to remove them due to clicksor allowing trojan/adware ect. advertisers on their network.

    Stats:
    20-30k unique visitors
    70-80k visitors
    600-700k pageviews

    The site has changed servers about 4 times as it eats up alot of resources but it is now stable on a $15/mo server. It runs on Vbulletin (Leased)

    Proof of traffic stats and revenue will be avaliable when a decent offer is made as I will just keep the site if there is no reasonable offer.

    The clicksor revenue was due to the banner ad up the top (now removed and I stuffed up the background image in FF when removing it but I will fix that before moving the site on)

    There is revenue potential under the 1st post of every thread.


    The site is almost automatically run by the mods/admin/and super mods that add the videos and keep the upto date. Nothing illigal is hosted on the site.

    Please stop spamming the forums, the license you have are not eligible for sale as they LEASED licenses.

    It was making just under $250 per month with clicksor till I removed it due to their popunders having spyware, trojans ect.

    The ads were removed just before listing the site.

    I do not have a complete traffic stats for one month because the server has crashed numerous times on me. I have been on Dreamhost - moved to polurnet (suspended for crashing the server) - and then I moved to a shared dedicated server where I get a guaranteed 150GB bandwidth and it is now stable there.

    Here is the last month of traffic stats from analytics
    http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/3299/untitledef1.jpg

    Direct Traffic 63,963 (84.25%)
    Referring Sites 6,674 (8.79%)
    Search Engines 5,281 (6.96%)

    Most is word of mouth and returning visitiors I do not advertise the site anymore and I havnt done so for at least 1 month. The site is a PR2 due to natural backlinks I never submitted the site to directories or anything.

    (based on revenue earnt within the month+ with clicksor)
    http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/4081/untitled2bo4.jpg

    The first 15 days represent ads shown to all users the server was suspended on the 14th I think it was after that because members were complaining about the adware/spyware I restricted popunders to guests only.

    Starting Price: $1k
    BIN: $3k

    I reserve the right not to sell blaa blaa blaa. ect all that crap.


    LMK if you have any questions I have seen sites doing worse get more revenue but since earnings are a bit all over the place I have a starting price of $1000.

    ATM 67 (61 members and 6 guests) are online so its a active forum.

    It gets aprox 1000 new posts per day.

    There is revenue potential under the 1st post of every thread (which I did not try selling yet.) I did have a banner ad there as I owed someone 20k banner impressions and they were used up in 4 days.

    A site + forum useually means the forum is dead for example take animeomnitude if you look at your forums (I believe its your site as its in your sig) you dont see new posts every day in every category do you?

    Also showing google ads on the same page with links to copyrighted media is prohibited according to google tos. Just thought id say this as this is the reason I dont have google ads on the forum.



    * The database will never be sold seperate from the site. If you really want a database I remember someone selling one in NP or DP for like $40 but it is recycled crap that has been sold over and over again.

    For a thousand dollars it really depends on how active the forum is and how much money you can make off it. You can always add actual site content after you buy the forum, since the forum already has a lot of traffic it will make the website have a lot of instant visitors.

    With the traffic and forum activity the site receives, it should be worth at least 1k. If I wasn't spending all my extra money on a site redesign, I would be looking at buying the forum.
