I don't want my established forums anymore, all have to go! - some PR5

Discussion in 'Sites' started by kokopelli, Aug 23, 2006.

    I have several established forums, some with traffic and income, but want to get rid of them all to concentrate on something else. Prices drastically reduced! Listed on multiple forums. Post SOLD to claim at BIN. Please note: Payment via verified PayPal account only and payment is required asap after sale (first to claim AND pay gets it). (Send payment to admin [@] mesaverdeenterprises.com) One week free hosting and CPanel access so you can move the site or sign up for new hosting with me. Free push to current registrar. More info gladly supplied as requested.

    • studentsforum.net - PR4 - $150
    • myebayforum.com - PR5 - $250
    • xboxforum.us - PR5 - $250
    • starwarsforum.net - PR3 - $180
    • rantandraveforum.com - $60 (also includes rantandraveforums.com)
    • christmastalk.com - PR2 now - $100
    • thegadgetsworld.com - PR3 - $125
    • yourownforum.com - forum hosting site, runs on SebFlipper (Access to Updates Expired on May 24. But you are still able to login to the SebFlipper member's section and download files that where released before the updates expired, i.e. up to "Multi-Forums Pro Host v1.3.3 for phpBB v2.0.21" by the looks of it. And you can renew the account for only $28 instead of $55 for a new license - $80
    • scriptureforums.com - PR3 - also a SebFlipper run site, but never even got it off the ground - SebFlipper license will expire on Dec 25, 2006. (Also includes the domains scriptureforum.com, scripturesforum.com, scripturesforums.com) - $150
    • michaeljacksonforum.com - front page PR2, forum PR4 - been around for a while (see http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://michaeljacksonforum.com) - $300 (P.S. if you're a MJ fan, I also have michaeljackson.cc, and if you're not, whackojacko.com)

    Please note, for SEO purposes, some (not all) of these forums have been "seeded" via automated RSS feeds, so the number of posts may not necessarily be posts by actual members. You can turn off this function and land running with a forum that's not empty and in most cases has decent PR. And on some, some of the members are would-be spammers where I just banned them, deleted their posts/URLs, but "kept them on", so to speak, to fill the numbers.

    I also have some forum domain names:


    Offers for multiple sales considered. All sales as-is, and final.

    Thanks for looking

    As requested, more info about michaeljacksonforum.com:
    • This is a great name for a MJ forum/fan site (and see FREE BONUS at the bottom)
    • Front page is PR2, but the forum main page, PR4 - this site has not been optimized for the search engines, and the way the pages other than the forum are generated sucks IMHO (I didn't design this site, just changed and improved on it) - with a little time and effort, some redesign maybe, and a sprinkle of SEO (short URLs), it could once again be one of the premier MJ fan sites
    • 631 posts by 751 registered users - I have not used RSS feeds on this site - those are real posts by real users, although many of them are now inactive, and some registered users are spammers - still, this used to be a busy forum in its day
    • Sitemap for 1,440 pages generated and submitted to Google and Yahoo: e.g. http://michaeljacksonforum.com/generator/data/sitemap.html
    • 573 uniques in July/605 for August to date, 5,392 for the year (not too bad, but I've never actively promoted this site) - (screenshots - click the thumbs to enlarge) - also see http://michaeljacksonforum.com/axs/ax-admin.pl (hits here more or less equals "visits" - click "View in Graphical Format") - there was some downtime with this and my other sites (twice in 2006) when I had to move servers
    • Adsense $37.81 since October 2, 2005 (screenshot) - after I got the site, I forgot about changing the Adsense to mine for a while, that's why it's only from October 2005
    • 1,680 pages indexed in Google, MSN = 61 and Yahoo = 46
    • Backlinks: Yahoo = 178, Google = 3, MSN = 27
    • This site and domain have been around for a while (circa early 2004): http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://michaeljacksonforum.com
    • It is also listed in D M O Z: do a search, don't want to post here

    This site is ready to be taken to the next level and be (re)developed into an awesome MJ forum with very little effort or cost.

    Free bonus! I just noted that MICHAELJACKSONFORUMS.COM was also available, so grabbed it too (it redirects to the main site) - now you can have the complete MJ forum .com franchise!

    I've only had this site since July, and haven't yet had a chance to promote it. I upgraded the forum, changed to a new skin, and made some minor cosmetic changes, but that's about it.

    • For stats since Aug 4 (when I installed the visitor tracking script), see http://thegadgetsworld.com/axs/ax-admin.pl (hits here more or less equals "visits" - click "View in Graphical Format")
    • According to Awstats it's had the following uniques this year:
      Mar: 119
      Apr: 103
      May: 104
      Jun: 190
      Jul: 208
      Aug (to date): 97
      (Stats prior to July were imported from the CPanel dump file)

    Stats (click thumbs to enlarge)

    As requested, more info about these sites:

    • christmastalk.com
      You can easily get this site on track again, and there is still time before this Christmas.

    • starwarsforum.net
      This is a great name for a Star Wars forum! None of the other extensions are active as SW forums.

    Just out of interest, why are you selling these sites?

    Do you create them to make a profit, or have you got to make time for something else?

    How much maintenance does something like the MJ forum require? do you have any mods on these sites already?

    Selling because I need money for something else.

    How much time and effort you put into a site or forum really is up to you. I generally get along fine without a mod because I get notified of new registrations and posts, but it depends on how busy it gets - I wouldn't try to run DP that way, for example. :)

    What is the updated availability list. If you can, would you edit your first post, and put red SOLD next to the ones that are sold (just an idea).

    Thanks

    All, except xboxforum.us and myebayforum.com, are still available.

    Sorry, not possible - DP doesn't allow editing of the original post after a while. You have to follow the thread.
