    Hi,

    I am looking for an appraisal of my music forum. Some factors to include would be that it includes everything you see there, apart from the hosting.

    This may be followed by a following sale, just want to see what type of offers you guys thought.

    How many regular posters do you have? This would be one of the largest factors when determing a price for a forum memberbase of this size.

    Well I had adsense on there and I was making about $0.30 a day, then the next day I attempted to optimize them and just stuffed the whole thing up. So no revenue

    Hmm, I believe the domain that Moozica is on, is pretty good, so I'd say $xxx - $250 or so.

    I think one issue is that there aren't any pages indexed in Google or Yahoo. That reduces the value to many buyers.

    I can definately agree, although I have definately tried quite a lot. So I am sure it will be in there soon, just need to wait a tad longer. I will probably optimize it a bit more when I get some more time.

    I didn't know that was a huge factor

    It sets off alarm bells. I mean I've seen sites get a few pages indexed with nothing more than a link from a forum thread like this one. So to have 0 pages indexed makes me wonder if there is some other problem. Good luck!

    Well, as you can see, I am at awe as to how it is not getting indexed as well. So anything that is wrong with the site is new to me as well. I just created a Google Sitemap, so hopefully that will speed the process along :(

    But that is for domain names. I already know the value of the domain name. I want to know the value of the site, if I like the figure I am seeing I might take the opportunity to sell it

    I don't know - do you have any powerful inbound links? It shouldn't really matter but if you do then it's even weirder.

    Also, what about the VB license - if the buyer has to purchase one the price goes down a bit...

    Well there are no really strong inbound links in terms of page rank or traffic, but I am sure it wouldn't be hard to find some
