    Hello. I have a simple question for you forums buyers.

    If you was a "Buyer" and you had a $50 USD budget. For the whole $50 USD what would you be looking to get with a forum;

    Amount;

    • Threads
    • Posts
    • Members
    • Uniques a Day
    • Page Views a Day
    • PageRank
    • Back Links

    Any other values I should add?

    I thought I would ask. I am guessing you cannot put a proper stable price on because of the niche and domain value. However on these above alone and lets say ay least a .com domain.

    What would you be looking to get for $50 USD.

    This is your opinions. :D

    Thanks,
    BlueEew.

    I would mainly be looking at the unique views and how well it has been marketed. As I would be investing $50 into it, I would want to make this money back somehow :)

    For $50 I wouldn't be expecting much if anything.
    But in general if I was buying a forum I would be mainly looking at the following:

    * number of members
    * number of active members
    * number of new posts/day
    * number of pageviews/unique visitors/day

    Cheers ...
    Gerald.

    Members, Active Members, Non-Admin Posts, Domain, Visitors

    Thats what I would look for.

    I was once the owner of a general forum, and, I wish I had never bought it!

    $50 would be for a dead forum:
    - around 1000 posts
    - xx-xxx members
    - at most 1 new post a week
    - low traffic: mid xx to low xxx per day.

    Thats what I'd be expecting for $50.
