    I'm thinking about selling my Cancer Forums website.


    I'm not currently making any money on it (its not monetized).

    i would be willing to sell it for no less than $1000. Let me know if there are any interests and I can provide traffic stats and so forth.

    Website gets about 1500 uniques / month

    how can you justify $1000 for a site that has no revenue and only gets an extremely small 50 unique visitors a day ?

    to make things worse its only got 150 posts, i can see its worth maybe $200 if the vb licence is owned and brand new, plus the keyword domain etc

    The script (software) the forum runs is a paid script which means you have to own the licence to be able to use it, the licence for the Vbulletin is currently $180 on its own.

    Keywork domain just means it contains the words some one might search for in a search engine like google and yahoo

    hi sorry to say but your forums contains all adult posts .so just a suggestion remove all the adult images and links if you want to sell it for atleast $300-500 ... $1000 is lot more the forums with no activity and and adult spams.

    The spam posts have been regular on all VB forums lately. I take them all out at the end of every night as have taken the ones on the forum right now.

    Obviously you don't know what you are talking about. The VB license itself is $180. The website is GREAT niche with only one competition in the market.

    The domain itself would be worth couple hundred dollars.

    The site is almost one year old and the current content is good paid content that I had a cancer professional write.

    Hi Nima,

    I suspect you are using Hostgator to host this website ? and you used DNScoop to see how much your website was worth ?, if that is the case then, because you are using Hostgator's Nameservers it will reflect a WRONG price on your domain when you use dnscoop.com, the same with my church website "www.broadenfield.com" it is currently up for grabs and has nothing on it, but its worth the same as yours, because i hosted it onto Sedo.com name servers..... as recommended...

    Don't be mislead by what that estimate says, $1000 is a LOT of money for forums that BARELY have any posts ! and a website that doesn't generate revenue and a domain that is ONLY 12 months old....just think about it.... :)

    Regards,
    Jatsim

    Im not using any service to get estimates. I've been in online business long enough to know those are crap.

    The VB script and the paid template alone are worth close to $300. The domain name is also a great one that can be turned into a huge website.

    The domain is worth no more than $25. Too bad it has a dash in it or isn't a .com because then it would both worth thousands but couple hundred for a .org with a dash in it, I doubt it would come close to a couple hundred.

    I gave it a little credit considering that it's cancer with .org is a bit better than normal other subjects.

    sounds like a heated discussion going on... I gotta say I wouldn't buy the website for $1000 either. Based on it's traffic figures, content, and even domain name, it's not worth that much. However I can see how it would be worth a lot more to the website owner himself, I mean we all get attached to our sites and things we own in general. And hey if it's worth a lot to the owner then why not keep it and just keep growing it?

    I don't think you guys understand correctly. This website has not been monetized. That doesn't mean that it can not be monetized.

    estimated TLA payout is $40/month, plus an estimate of $5/month adsense, plus any other ad that one might sell.

    You got to actually get an active forum to do that. I ran forums before and the hardest part is getting the first group of active members.

    No one wants to join an inactive forum. Which is why starting up is so difficult.

    if the forum was active this site would be worth in high $$$$ to say the least. The whole point is to buy it and flip it.

    Depending how active it is, but you can't sell it for like $1000+ for a dead forum I can make that if I just dished out $300. Anyone could.

    well, as I mentioned in the first post I'm thinking about selling the site. So if no one wants to pay $1000 for it, I'll just keep it and develop it when i have more free time

    Cheers
