    Hey Guys,

    Well after a long time of working on this site, I have decided it is time to let it go, I have spent a lot of time on the design, and building the member database, unfortunately I am going to university soon and wont have the time to dedicate to this lovely site.

    To view the site: Traffic
    Earlier this month we also had our server hacked and so we lost all previous awstats, you can view all the awstats from the past week here though:
    https://teenbusinessforum.com/plesk-stat/webstat/

    As you can see, we have had 5,000 UV's in just under a week! Last month we received 20,000 UV's although I am unable to verify this obviously due to the issues we've had.

    Revenue
    Currently to make money I have been using adsense (making roughly $7-$10/month), I have also been selling banners and links on the forum, in total this has brought in $50 of revenue, although this does vary every month, and really does depend on how hard you try with the forum. I am sure you could make $100+/month with this forum, but I simply don't have the time anymore to build it up to that.

    What do you get?
    I will transfer the domain to you, and all site files, you receive everything. I can assist you in transferring the sites if you wish.
    I also have a number of plans on how to build the forum up even more, I will be more than happy to help out for up to 3 months after the sale to make sure everything is running smoothly for you etc.

    Price
    I've spent a lot of time and money on this site, the design is 100% unique, the domain name is a great domain, and the database of members you receive are all loyal members.

    Starting Bid: $700
    BIN: $1750

    If you have any questions then please do not hesitate to contact me.

    Thanks for looking and good luck if you decide to bid!

    Are all the uniques coming via PPC or signatures? The organic seems a little light.

    i'd also like to know where the traffic is coming from please, organic search is poor - little more than 50 people for that period, so where are the other 4950 people coming from?

    Genuinly interested, but need more info given your stats problem.

    Thanks

    Paul

    Hello Guys,

    We have not been running a PPC campaign, infact the only form of advertising we have done is through forums like DP, and generally posting in forums, and signature links. Thats where the majority of our traffic has been coming from as we have mainly been trying to do targeted advertising by advertising on teenage and business forums.

    If you have any other questions then just let me know guys, i'd be happy to answer them.

    Thanks

    May I ask you why are you selling the site? We're buying potentially profitable websites but we would need a little more in-depth information before taking any decisions.
    Thanks.

    TLSC: Yes, Angel Mule is a links forum and offers backlinks with your signature, we also did some link building and some sites were pharmacy sites, we have hired a few link building companies, and that would be where the medical sites have most likely come from.

    Engineered: As I said in my original post, I don't have the time to run the site as I am about to start at university, so I need to sell the site, if I don't then I wont have the time to run it, and it will slowly die, which I would hate to see happen as it is a great forum.

    Thanks guys, feel free to ask more questions

    Im a bit concerned that almost 90% of your traffic spends less than 30 seconds on your website?

    Hi Shane,

    I was concerned as well a few months ago so I did a questionnaire with all my members and the reason is because many of our members log on regularly, and as you may of noticed there is a 'new posts' button at the top, most of them load the site up, click that button for any new posts since they last visited, and if there are none they will leave the site.

    Hope that answers your question

    On average how many posts are being made on the forum per day?

    It really does vary, because the forum is targeted towards teenagers our busiest days are Saturday and Sunday, and some days we get over 40 posts, during the week we average about 10-20 new posts each day.

    Thanks for your time
