    "old is gold"

    http://www.tbirdforum.com is available for sale and is a premier classic thunderbird resource website.

    I established the site back in 2000 so it's over 7 years old.

    This site has been operated strictly as a free forum up till about 2 months ago when I converted it to an ebay affiliate using CJ. Since the conversion the site has turned into a money maker.

    In April 2007 the site made $559.59 from CJ
    In May 2007 so far the site made $162.74 from CJ

    There have been 19,552 unique visitors to tbirdforum.com since jan 1, 2007.

    http://www.leapfish.com/domain_name_appraisal.php?url=www.tbirdforum.com

    Values the domain name at $21,312.00

    I own the license for the vbulletin on the site and its all current and the sw is all up to date - vbadvanced portal is on it too and that is all current and up to date as well.

    Setting BIN on site at $3500 post sold to claim

    No offence intended, phjohnso, but you couldn't even sell this site for $1500 previously, and since then you've totally whored it to short-term gain - 16 affiliate banners plus 3 Adsense blocks on the homepage? That's poor.

    IMO, you've actually devalued your site and set it up for a good kicking out of Google.

    What you should do is stop trying to chase quick cash and instead build *value* on the site so that it's worth purchasing in the first place. At the current pace, the site will be dead and useless within the year for all but domainers.

    2c.

    How do you get to the forum?? My eyes aren't that great at the best of times, but I really can't see the wood for the trees on that page...

    Just a note here, there are too many google ads on the main page. This is against Google's TOS and can get the site banned. Please reduce the number of ads to the limit set by Google (3) so the site doesn't get banned before you can sell it :)

    Good Luck!!

    google doesn't let there be TO MANY of their ads on a page - you can have 3 box ads and some ltext link ads mixed together.

    like ThreeGuineaWatch said...um...where's the actual forum?

    edit: I now see "This site has been operated strictly as a free forum up till about 2 months ago when I converted it to an ebay affiliate using CJ. Since the conversion the site has turned into a money maker."

    So tbirdforum is no longer a forum, correct?

    I thought it would be easy to vind the forum - click the large letters in the top left corner of the screen where it says "THE TBIRD FORUM" that is where the forum is.

    Yeah, you are confusing me. I am not sure you really know what you are doing dude, and the URL is not worth $23,000.

    It's a shame that instead of actually working on the forum itself, you have ruined it with all this junk. No members are even posting. . . sad.
