Selling Dating forum with traffic

I'm looking to sell my dating forum as I am leaving the internet to persue a different career.

The forum has 2 mods and runs by itself, I did put adsense on there for a few months and earnt an average of $50 per month.

Ideally this forum would be suitable for someone starting a dating site in need of an initial traffic boost. The best way to do this would be to integrate the forum into your dating site and auto register the existing members of this forum.

The server is with UK2.net and costs £150 per year, I am willing to just transfer the whole hosting account to you or we can transfer the domain and I send you the database and website files.

The forum is in a niche genre, it's a forum for plenty of fish users, plenty of fish does have it's own forum but it is very unpopular due to it's crazy rules such as no flirting, no chatting or no addressing members. Obviously rules like that take out the fun and I setup pofusers.com after being asked by users to create an alternative. One of the MODS on the official POF forum routinely recommends users to my forum.

The forum itself has been highly optimised for google. This really is a great opportunity for someone starting out in dating, the members are very loyal and would welcome an admin that is willing to spend some time pushing the site forward, although the site is initially a branch off from POF the users consider pofusers.com a serperate entity, the users would certainly not object to a name chage in fact its been suggested a few times. I did promise the members that I would turn the forum into a fully fledged dating site so they would welcome the change. Alternatively you could just keep it as a forum and implement extra features such as games, profiles etc.

Finally I'd just like to say this is not some 2 bit chuck together and sell, a lot of hard work and dedication went into building this forum, unfortunately I just do not have the time to persue it due to work commitments.

Therefore I am putting this up for auction in the hope that it'll find a loving new admin!

If you are new to forums I'd be happy to provide free aftersale support to the new owner for as long as it takes to get you upto speed but like I said the site runs itself so there isn't really much to do.

 

Your google ads don't seem to be showing? was this the source of revenue?

 

I disabled the adsense ads. POFUsers was setup as a non profit site however it can make money through adsense, I can forward you the adsense statements etc.

I am willing to help you setup adsense and place your adsense code into the site etc. Alternatively it may be possible to transfer my adsense account into your name, I will have to check with google.

I've taken the adsense off but it used to get around $50 per month.

Hi guys, the highest bid I got was $300 which was below what I was hoping for. Also the auction expired after 7 days so I've created a new auction for 30 days.
