New content,

 

Please import your Adsense revenue and what are your top organic keyword sources from Google Search Console?

 

Hi,

Linked Adsense.

Google Analytics source :

​

Adsense Revenue over year. (The site had good revenue when I was working 2-3 hours/days during my college days. After graduating, I'm been busy with my job)

With little effort, the site can attract more eyeballs with new content and has potential to get many advertisement during college admission every year. ​

 

What are your top organic keyword sources from Google Search Console?

 

Console

 

Thanks for the quick information.

It seems like this site has some potential, however with the majority of traffic being from India - it does pose a monetization challenge.

Also, the site has a serious responsiveness issue - do you plan on fixing that?

It completely unusable on mobile currently.

 

The site has native mobile design. I have attached the image.

I totally agree - US traffic value is higher. But the volume of Google Ad market(and traffic) in India is growing very high(YoY is doubling. That's one of the reason Google is actively setting up more ways to capture new Indian users from Android, Free Internet in Railways, etc).

I really want to improve the site, add content regularly and capitalise on ads revenue, e-commerce affiliate, etc. I really do. The problem is, working in a startup as a developer is taking most of the time and I have put this on-hold for very long time. That's the main reason I'm selling this forum.

 

What about vBulletin license? Can you help move it to Xenforo for the buyer?

 

I haven't moved to Xenforo before. But there are few resource and can help in migrating.

 

The buyer gets the license of Vbulletin as well?
I can't see a single reply to a few hundred threads I looked. Have you added all of them or your users to some activity?

 

Yes. The vbulletin license is included

Many threads were created by content writers as well. The forum has high views but low activity/replies.

 

Why did you extend the ending date? That's unfair! That is why I like Fiverr, you can't extend listing ending date. I'm losing interest in the listing because of the extension.

 

I din edit the listing. It's auto extended by DP forum because the reserve price is not met.

 

That is not possible. The listing has NO RESERVE. I have been following the auction since it started. Sorry to say this: You extended it yourself.

 

Reserve price is hidden from all users(except the seller).

 

It is obvious that the listing has NO RESERVE (Check the picture). It is your asset. I don't have to argue with you. I will look for another forum elsewhere. I had an interest in yours but with the way I see things now, I am not comfortable with bidding more.

 

Sorry. I checked the reserve price and it's empty. I remember setting it though. My mistake. I apologise. However I did not extend the sale.

 

ok
