OK well around 18 month ago I bought freeforums4u.com and a copy of the phpbb multiforum script. Up until 2-3 month ago it was working fine but then the spam took over the site was getting 500 uniques a day and making $5-10 per day through adsense but the spam bots where now spamming every forum and the actual forum creation page which was taking too much time to clean. Anyway, I took the forums offline and left the domain idle a month or so, 3 days ago I parked it on sedo and its made me 2-4 euros a day which shows 2500 uniques per day. Which shocked me since I don't advertise (and only ever advertised the first week.) and google only has indexed the pages after I shut it down basically full of rubbish. Estibot.com valuation for FreeForums4u.com says I have 50000 backlinks which is amazing if all the traffic is coming through them. Its also ranked 366000 on alexa. Also why is it only a PR1 could it be becuase I left it idle for so long? Could some of the traffic shown on sedo be the bots that used to spam the forum still trying and being counted? because the click through ratio is pretty low, like 1-2% or is that to with optimising? Confused, could someone give me a valuation for this?
lol... interesting... ..I'd value it for the domain itself without stats @ reg fee.. However, with those stats.. that don't seem to be accurate... high $xxx.. undeveloped. I don't trust the unique visits.. However, if they are leg!7 then the above appraisal is my final answer.. 0_o
OMG Just searched deeper into it when you put freeforums4u.comin google the first 5 pages are ok but it says there is 70000 items I think people spammed my forum creation with drugs forums then spammed them on other sites, what should I do if its not legit traffic? Just keep it parked?
