    Reason for sale:
    Need quick cash for new project not related to this site.

    Strength of site:
    Well aged (since 2002), Top 3 in every major search engine for "The Alamo" – a keyword phrase that is searched over 3000 times/day! (The Alamo is Texas’ #1 tourist attraction, a TOP 10 destination in the US!), an authority site, educational resource — great long term rankings. International readers/visitors. Easy CMS for updating.

    VERY SAFE WEBSITE TO BUY — great incoming links, proven track record, consistent revenue. No black hat SEO.

    Newsletter subscription database:
    2500+ members, highly targeted. Note:The newsletter subscription was discontinued in 1/2006 because I no longer had time to write newsletters. Subscriber database available.

    Site Maintenance:
    A high school kid updates the content for $10/month
    An adult moderates the forum and deletes spambots, if any.
    Users sometimes submit content.

    Weakness:
    Site has outgrown its scope. URL does not reflect scope.
