    Hi All, this is my first attempt at selling here at dp.

    I am selling the forum: http://www.4newbiesforum.com

    Added some screenshots here for Rev and Stats: http://www.4newbiesforum.com/sale/

    It has: Threads: 15,737, Posts: 37,451, Members: 2,071, Active Members: 178

    you get domain, full site.

    I am looking to get this down asap since I want to take it down from my server.

    It is PR2. The site was really active a few months ago when I had the get paid to post feature, but i removed that and most of the users stopped posting. If you turn that back on you will easily be able to get many members back.

    Or you can leave it as is. I have not spent much time on the forum recently and have lost interest in pursuing it further.

    This is the perfect forum for someone that knows about forums and can market it. Most of the traffic is people that want to learn how to make money on line.

    I have some partnerships with some ad companies: burstnet is one. I have made about less than $100 per month consistently. I have not tried selling private ads.

    I dont have a BIN in mind or a starting price.

    ---

    Revenue

    Toolbar: I have a toolbar with 226 installations and have made $125.61 since I started it.

    I can give you that account with the $125.61 balance included.

    It makes about 5 cent to 8 cents a day which is about 1.50 a month

    Yahoo Ads: I have made $36.23 for the time I had it up, which was 2 months. So thats $18 a month.

    Bidvertiser: Total made since April 2007 is 120.07. So thats $17 a month.

    BurstDirect: Total made $32.89, $4.69 a month

    Sign Profit: made $70.04 since started (actually more, but thats what I have in there now) so thats $10 a month

    Vibrant Media: Made an avg of $31.57 a month.

    June was $36.92
    July was $45.56
    August was $12.25

    So total monthly avg revenue: $82.76

    --

    As far as Stats, can you guys tell me what exact google analytics stats you want me to make screenshots of. I am not too sure what would help with the sales. thx. In the screen shots I have provided, a keywords view, a referrers view, and a dashboard view.

    Does this include an "owned" vBulletin license?

    Yes, I will try and transfer what ever is left on the license over. I am not too sure how to go about that. I got it sometime around the beginning of the year.

    that was just a random bin i made up, like I said before I am not sure what BIN to ask for, so offers are better. if you do 10 months of montlhy revenue, thats 820 bucks right? so usually bin prices are more than the 10 months? or am i wrong, i have never sold a site on here so this is my first time.

    I prefer offers made by you guys.

    I am contemplating the idea - the skin is extremely good. How much does it cost to pay out to the members? Also, what version of vB is it running on?

    made the logo custom myself. right now it doesnt cost anything to payout the members, but if you enabled it you would be able to set it up so that they earn certain "newb bux" per action they perform. you would then make it so that X amount of newb bux equal 1 dollar.

    then once those add up they could exchange them in the store for prizes (i made the prizes dollar amounts). you can make it so that they earn points (newb bux) for posting, referring members, etc. those are all editable in the admin area. the forum is on the second to latest vd i think. we last updated it 3 months ago.

    i registered today in the AM to see how active the forum is and there are only 1 or 2 posts from a few members and all the rest are from you. but they have no posts after that. so its not very active.

    also is the domain inewb.com included in teh sale as it seems that was the name before you changed it or jsut forward it to the site?

    whats the real number your willing to take for this. im willing to look past the dead part and everything else if the license is included (owned) and the domain inewb.com is included. PM me if you want the lowest price youll take.

    hi gas money, will pm you. I dont post on there. I think those are the auto feeds I set up a while back to get new content up. there are active members as you can see in the bottom it says it that they have been active in the past 30 days. I purchased th license and am willing to transfer it over, if it is possible. inewb was supposed to be something else, so i was forwarding it to the forum for now. I can include it though.
