Bar/Pub Forum with intergrated drinks database... PR4

    I don't have the time to maintain this site anymore...

    www.HappyHourPub.com

    It's a vBulletin site, 911 threads, 10,405 posts, 105 members. There's a "drinks menu" that contains a few thousand drink recipes, it's intergrated into the forum.

    Google shows 260 backlinks, HotBot shows 260, MSN shows 2369, Yahoo shows 14,700.

    Google has 7780 pages in it's index, MSN has 785, Yahoo has 3000.

    In Janurary there were 2460 unique visitors, 1755 in February, 2047 in March, 2077 in April and 1440 so far in May. May has been averaging 131 per day.

    The design is unique and is included.

    There's one link that was sold on Linkworth, that brings in $15 per month.

    It's made $14.39 from Adsense in February, $51.93 in March, $33.53 in April, and $21.15 so far in May.

    Rankings:
    - #4 & #5 on MSN for "happy hour forum".
    - #1 on Google, #4 on Yahoo, #1 on MSN for "happy hour pub"
    - #1 on MSN, #13 on Google for "lousy conversation"
    - #1 on MSN for "lousy food and warm beer"
    - #17 & #18 on MSN for "pub forum"
    - #16 on MSN for "warm beer"

    Since Jelsoft no longer allows transfers of leased licenses, the vBulletin license is NOT included.

    The domain was registered @ DirectI on 10/20/05. You can get a free push if you have a DirectI account.

    Hosting through the end of June is included.

    Starting bid: $200
    Increments: $25
    BIN: $750

    I have a reserve price in my head, so if it doesn't meet that price (which is in between the starting price and the BIN) I reserve the right to keep the site.

    This will run auction style until 11 PM EST on Thursday, June 1st.

    PM me with any questions.

    Thanks for the bid. One more thing I'd like to add - PayPal is the only payment I can accept at this time.

    I can help with that, no problem.

    Yours is the high bid so far, and the reserve price for this auction has been met.

    Moved from #1 to #2 on MSN for "lousy food and warm beer"
    Moved from #16 to #23 on MSN for "warm beer"

    No, I can't give you my Linkworth account as I have other sites tied to it, but you can sign up for Linkworth and I will give you the contact information for the current advertisers so you can get in touch with them to see if they want to continue running their ads on the site.

    There are 5 lines of links in the footer. The first line is from link exchanges, the second is link exchanges from my partners web sites. Both of those lines can stay as is. The 3rd line is the co-op, the last 2 are paid links from Linkworth. The buttons on the very bottom are links to other sites that I like, they're rotated via phpAdsNew, as are the ads above the footer (cj affiliate links).

    When I first started the site I paid for some forum posts, I think that was 50 or so. I haven't paid for any other advertising.

    I have 2 text links in the co-op, each is 12.5% of the weight of 5049. This site has it's own co-op account, I will give that to the new owner along with the site.

    So far, it is...

    I'm in Mt. Sinai, BTW. Not far from Commack, maybe 30 minutes without traffic. ;-)
