Paid Directory For Sale - $80 Revenue In Link Sales - PR3

Discussion in 'Sites' started by Peter Brown, Dec 24, 2007.

  1. #1
    The directory is www.URLSplash.com

    It is PR3 valid.

    The domain is at GoDaddy.com and expires 8-jun-2008.

    I did at one time allow free submissions, there are 3711 pending free submissions which will help you build the directory further with better links in the categories.

    It runs phpLD v2.

    There are currently 66 active links in the directory 12 of which are paid (10 regular links @ $4.99 each and 2 featured links @ $14.99) http://www.ceneb.com/stats/4.png - All have been paid for, it seems phpLD has a bug in featured links where it sets the stats of the payment to pending and never updates that status.

    Here are the traffic stats:
    http://www.ceneb.com/stats/1.png
    http://www.ceneb.com/stats/2.png
    http://www.ceneb.com/stats/3.png

    If you need any more stats, let me know.


    Price: $350


    I can move the site over to your hosting free of charge once you buy it, if you need.

    I accept PayPal, Escrow or cheque.

    What version of phpLD are you running? If it is a unbranded version, do you own a license for it. Since there is no custom template, your asking price is very steep. It isn't worth to me $350.00, because you have no revenue and a pile of links that aren't reviewed. To have so many links waiting to be reviewed, doesn't help your directory's reputation. PR isn't worth what it used to be either.

    Youve made $80 in link sales, i assume the users do not pay
    monthly link fees...

    your running old copy of phpld, new is v3.2

    I have about the same amount of backlinks you have...and I do
    not get that many visits...

    Ill give you $0 for the domain, and you keep the script...

    If you had 10,000 back links that might be another story...

    Thank you for the current offers however I'm looking for more.

    I'm running phpLD v2 as said in the original post which you do not need a license for.

    If you don't think it is worth the asking price, that is your opinion, keep that opinion to yourself.

    This is a 4 month old directory with $80 revenue in that time, if you go by the 12 month revenue principle, I guess I am over charging, I am open for offers.

    I agree with you on the part that PR isn't worth what it used to be however users still look for PR when buying links and many directories you submit to, arrange their links via PR score.
    You can see how long the links last in the first post.

    I "assume" you didn't look into the script before posting, there are two versions of the script, v2 and v3.2. The directory is up to date with the version of the script it has.

    If your only intention by posting in this thread is to kill it, dscurlock, do not post in this thread at all.

    If I had 10,000 back links I would not be selling for the price I am.

    So what if he's running an older copy?

    $80 is pretty good for a directory so this one obviously has very good potential.

    and you obviously know nothing about the value of domains either as urlsplash.com would fetch a decent enough sum in it's own right and if you don't get as many visits then he's doing something right and your not, for a directory with this many links (which can be very easily activated) is definately worth his asking price.

    and did you know flaming is against the rules? cos thats what this seems like to me.

    No revenue? it's made $80 in link sales which in my books IS revenue and perhaps you forgot to put your glasses on when you replied to this thread because it says what version he is running it on if you'd bothered to read the original thread, as i said above the links can be easily activated so for me it wouldnt be an issue. You're allowed to sell phpLD sites as per the GPL License as long as he keeps the backlink intact, if you scan through the forums youll find plenty of others doing the same and runnning on the same software.

    I'd really love to know how you figured out it had no revenue lol

    The price is stated in the original thread at $350

    I don't mean to be rude here, but can you read or did you even bother reading the sellers thread? It says in the thread its running PHPLD version 2. It has made revenue, as shown by the screenshots above it has made $80.

    If your not interested in buying it, don't try and kill a sales thread and the $350 is a decent price considering its only been converted into a paid directory recently and made $80 shows potential growth.

    If your not interested in buying the site why call it? Its clearly a revenue maker and version 2 isnt an OLD script. Your comparing it to your site, its proves your trying to kill a sales thread and not looking to purchase one. In fact its the LATEST script for the FREE phpld version, you need to understand that phpld offer two versions ;)

    I don't know where you get $0 for a domain from, if you tell me where you can get FREE domains from. This is because, the current price at Godaddy is $9.99 before ICANN fee.

    Thanks Electric and n-james, I appreciate it!

    It had one more sale a few hours ago for a regular link which brings the total revenue to $85. (If you want me to take a new screenshot with that new sale included, let me know)

    I'll lower the BIN to 12 months revenue, $255 (4 months old with $85 revenue x 3 = $255), I am open to offers above $xxx.
