SoapForum.co.uk - UK TV forum - Over 1500 members - 33k+ posts - Doing great in SEs

Hey,
I am selling one of my sites, www.SoapForum.co.uk

This is a relist and the site was sold at the BIN to three people, two didnt have the money available and I have waited over 3 weeks to hear back from the other winner.

Please do NOT bid unless you have the money available when the auction ends or at the BIN.

This is a forum for UK soaps, for example eastenders, coronoation street, Emmerdale etc. as well as general TV.

Our members have made a total of 33,543 posts

Traffic:

Traffic stats: Http://www.soapforum.co.uk/temp/soapforum.gif
Referral stats: Http://www.soapforum.co.uk/temp/soapforum1.gif

Take a look at the referral stats, the traffic is great quality and you can see for yourself there is a very high % of traffic from search engines.

I have not paid for advertising ANYWHERE so all traffic is natural.

Included in the sale:
Unique design
Complete site files and databases
IPB License (Still not 100% on this, I have to get the login information but you can see from the site that there is an IPB license registered for the site)
Domain name

Income:
The only thing I have done is place adsense in a few places, never really integrated it well.
Income is $63 since October.
I'm sure anyone that knows about advertising knows a lot more could be made from this site, some options I would recommend for the new owner would be popup ads - These tend to work a lot better on entertainment related sites.
Because of the genre of this site I think affiliate links would also work very well - Maybe chitika?

Other info:

The site has great links with the entertainment industry and I am often contacted by TV stations, studios and concert organisers and offered tickets, passes etc. but I never take advantage of this because I don't live in England where most of the studios, concerts etc. are.

Reason for sale:
I would like to free up a little bit of cash for a quick break next month with my other half so the extra money would come in nicely.

Payment:
Payment can be made through paypal or UK bank transfer (I have an Alliance & Leicester account).

Price: Starting bidding at $1000
BIN: $2500 (This was reached by 3 people before so I think its a good level for a site this size).

End Date: One week from today or open to offers for BIN

 

Nice site i could put my g/f to work on it she loves each of those shows lol. Too bad i don't have $1000 even.

 

I'll bid $1,200 for this. Is the VB license included?

 

Thanks very much.

The site is currently running IPB, its the only site I have with IPB and i was going to convert to vb but to be honest it might be better leaving it with IPB or else getting a script to forward all pages, you can see how well its doing in search engine results so I wanted to leave all pages as they were so I didn't lose indexed pages or backlinks.

 

New bid of $1300 from another user on DP.

If anyone would like to bid or ask questions please do it on this thread or via PM

Thanks
John
