    Hello DP members. I have decided to sell my latest project. Its www.BlasterForum.com. I recently bought a Yamaha Blaster and searched around for a forum for Blasters. I noticed that there were not that many. So I decided to make one. I got a great domain, BlasterForum.com. The site is about 3 months old. We have just under 70 members.

    Since starting it I have seen the traffic grow. In March we had a total of 180 unique visitors. In April it jumped to almost 800 unique visitors. Now in the 5 days of May, we have had about 300 unique visitors. The traffic is steadily growing as our search results improve.

    The most important thing about the site is the Google search engine rankings. The two most searched phrases for a blaster forum are "Yamaha Blaster Forum" and "Blaster Forum". My site ranks in the top 10 results for both of those phrases.

    Revenue is next to nothing. Only a few dollars in Adsense over the 3 months. However I just started a "Premium Member" program and I hope to get some money from that.

    Since the site has a great domain, great search engine rankings already, and the competition is so limited, I expect offers in the very low $XXX range. The vBulletin license is not included because I need it for my other project. We will start the bidding at $1 and it will end 48 hours after the last bid. Good luck!

    What is the "premium member propgram" about? What's the minimum bid increment, and to you plan on setting a BIN?

    (Some cretin gave me red for my last post inthis thread :( )

    I created the Premium Member thing to bring in money to fund contests and hosting. I just started the program and no one has signed up, however I do have some interest from some members. Basically the Premium members donate $10 per year. They are a special member group. They get more powers and they have the ability to vote on special issues on the forum. The new owner can make this new group whatever he/she wants or even do away with it since there are no members signed up. No BIN at the moment. Minimum increment is $10.
