    Proxy FORUM For Sale - Great Proxy Website/Network Marketing Tool
    With this forum I have built my proxy network revenue to $1400 a month.

    www.proxyusers.net

    For sale is one of my more popular forums created in April which has 614 members, 758 threads and over 5000 posts. It has almost 2000 backlinks registered by Google (that will be a PR4 in the next update).

    With this forum I've self-promoted and built my proxy network of 20 sites to a great sustainable revenue. The forum is a very powerful marketing tool since it has a loyal proxy-website-OWNER base and a loyal proxy-website-USER base. Joining the two, proxy owner and proxy user, in one website, creates an attractive and effective resource for both.

    It's a very unique concept with not many players in the field, a forum for proxy owners and users to mingle, plus the other added benefits. It is a well-known and respected forum for proxy website owners and users.

    I'm selling to thin out my web portfolio.

    Description
    - has helped build my proxy network revenue to $1400 a month
    - vbulletin forum created in April 2007
    - unique forum concept
    - 614 members, 5000 posts
    - average 3 new members a day
    - Google registers 1965 links to the site
    - Yahoo registers 6670 links to the site
    - predicted to move to PR4 (iWebTools)
    - Alexa ranking of 306k
    - over 1000 pages listed in Google
    - domain registered at GoDaddy, free push to your account
    - receives 50-150 unique visitors a day (Statcounter)
    - receives 50-100 visitors a day (Google Analytics)
    - >60% of traffic is US or Canada (Google Analytics)
    - ~50% of traffic is organic from search engines
    - $50 in Adsense earnings since tracking began (June 11)
    - 12 VIP memberships paid

    The forum currently has 12 VIP lifetime members who paid $29 to $39 each. Right now it's promoting lifetime VIP memberships for $9.99 to increase the member numbers. However, the new owner can set up whatever member system they want.

    Otherwise, it's not well monetized with ads (Adsense, text links). I was using it as a resource to boost my own proxy website network. The forum has generated over $50 in Google Adsense since June 11th (when I created the channel for it).

    I do not actively promote or market the site. It has been on auto-pilot for 2 months or so. I did have it submitted to a directory submission service (500 PR4+ directories) and a social bookmarking service (101 bookmarking sites) 2 months ago.

    Any other details you need, let me know and I'll provide.

    Payment by Paypal.

    Starting bid --> $750 ($50 increments)
    BIN --> 9000
    Reserve --> in place

    This is site is also listed for sale in other locations. I will try to keep this thread updated with the progress and the proof of those other listings.

    The url is in the listing. I've moved it to a more noticeable spot at the top of the post.

    I've added screenshots of traffic proof and revenue proofs (for the forum and for my proxy network) to the thread.

    You expect $9000 for a domain and a forum, with a site that makes $50 revenue all time? I dont think so.

    Obviously you're missing the point here, this forum allows me to make $1400 a month with my proxy websites.

    Without it, most proxy owners make less than $100 a month.

    ok, how's this? The starting bid is lowered to $650.

    That's equal to 15 days of revenue I get with my proxies which I promoted through this forum.

    that would be wasting my time

    Dude, you know what a waste of time is? You hanging around my thread making stupid comments when you're not interested in the site.

    You have nothing better to do with your time than lounge around and ruin the thread where I'm trying to sell my site?

    It has made over $50 in Adsense and over $350 in VIP membership fees in the past 4 months. Plus the kick in the ass it gave my proxies. Why wouldn't it be worth more than $650?

    Thank you fox-match! You gave me an idea. I should get the other 600 members of the forum over here to vouch for me ;).

    That's just a joke by the way.

    I am also a member of www.proxyusers.net. I am certain this forum will have an outstanding growth, simply because there are not many forums of this type. I agree with fox-match - If I had the funds, I would seriously consider buying this forum.

    The previous owner did not transfer the license to me. So I never had the license details. However, vBulletin tells me licenses are not transferable. I don't believe that. A license with them is around $100.
