For Sale: Motorcycle site

    I'm selling my motorcycle site: www.syndicatemoto.com

    I haven't updated the site much because I've been on other projects and don't
    plan on getting back to this one anytime soon so I'm putting it up for sale.

    I built the front end and hooked some sections into the phpbb forum.

    Google PR 0
    Alexa Rank
    9/17: 575,621 (current)
    8/21: 671,982
    7/16: 2,310,366

    The Moto News section is automatically updated on the hour (can be adjusted) using
    several different moto news sources. The front page links direct traffic into
    the phpbb forum/news section so you get the initial traffic to your forum, then
    the source link is provided. This is a better solution than to use straight rss
    feeds because rss links are exits on your site. This builds content on the forum
    AND still provides the exit AFTER visitors go deeper into your site.

    It had a new template on there but was getting bot spam so I went back to the
    default phpbb template so I could put in the anti-bot mod. The template is still available to turn back on if you have skills to work with the template.

    It also has a photo section. Their is no management interface, just upload the
    photos and add the name in the database. Views are tracked.

    The part/accessories store is a drop in affiliate store that I will help you
    open an account with etc. If you decide to use it.

    I have a large message/data dump from moto news groups into the forum which
    helps get search engine visitors. About 6-7 per day

    Other traffic comes mostly from my other sites that are linking to it so their
    isn't much to speak of.

    I also generated a few thousand fake users and modified the forum footer to
    make it look like lots of people are randomly on (updated periodically)

    I have anti-bot software on the forum to prevent bot problems.

    The site/database/domain name/files are what are for sale. It's running on a shared linux/php/mysql system and I can do the transfer for you if your host is setup.

    Payment via PayPal. I have a confirmed 80 transaction PayPal account. You may PM me or IM me for the account if interested.

    I'll end the auction in a max two weeks. Thanks guys.

    What is BIN?

    Sources of traffic are 95% my sites and 5% google
    Daily uniques are like 10-15. The google love has been because of the forum data dump.

    The site has been neglected. CPC for moto ads are pretty decent. I'm trying to build up a motorsports site so it doesn't make much sense for me to work on this one too. In the last few months it's only had like 15 clicks I think.

    Please let us know your price range.

    Your site looks very nice, and I might consider it.

    I'll set the BIN to $500 then. Thanks for the compliments everyone. Generally, people on these forums aren't this friendly!

    LOL!
    There are people and people. :)

    I offer immediate $100 to kick this started.
    Of course this proving that you transfer domain and files before I send money.
    You can rely on my iTrader if you have any queries. ;)

    Here is an overview of google analytics data.

    I forgot to mention that I have also modified the forum for SEO friendly URLs which isn't standard on phpbb which has helped with SE traffic.

    I am familiar with this site and the owner will be a happy, happy boy. There are a lot of mods that frawsty has built in to this site that I would like. Since he's balked at helping me do it or doing it for money, I think you have one unique site on your hands.

    He also uses my site as a news source! ;)

    Good job Frawsty. I'll be watching this one.

    Mike

    Thanks Mike. Well the best bid is $100 which I wont sell for.

    The BIN is $500 which is as low as I will go for it.
