Selling Large Gaming Forum - 400,000-500,000 visits a month - Lots of Rev

Hi

I am selling my most popular site I have ever owned. I dont want to post the url here so please pm me for the URL if you are seriously intrested and can afford the site. I am selling because I got a new job in January and I dont have time to look after the site. Because I havent been on the site much the traffic / rev has dropped but this can easily be picked up and more, More info below

The site is a PSP forum (I believe the biggest on the internet) which had 200,000 members (We deleted 100,000 inactive users a few months back) The site stats are Threads: 60,020, Posts: 554,100, Members: 111,618 and runs on vbulletin. The site also has its own shop which sells accessories and other bits and makes lots of money (I will give the new owner the contact details of where I get my stock). The site gets around 400,000 - 500,000 visitors a month with about 98% comming from google.

Rev Details are as follows

JUL09 - Shop = $5600
OCT09 - Shop = $4367 Google $210 Total = $4577

JULY10 - Shop = $1151 Google = $271 Total = $1422
Aug10 Shop = $1284 Google = $333 Total = $1617

Why am I selling?

I dont have any time to look after the site since I got a full time job in January. The forum does run pretty much by its self as we have many good moderators which have been around for years on the site. Also I dont own as much as I could because I had to stop my google adwords campain in January because I was having problems keeping up with orders. The new owner could own around $4000-$5000 when using google ad words on this site. I will give you access to my adwords account so you can copy my campains. Also


Tell me about the shop?

With the shop you make just over 50% profit on each sell. You could drop ship the products and make 60%-70% profit.

The site have potential??

YES!!! You can see in 2009 the site was getting just over 500,000 visitors, as soon as I got a job in Jan I had to stop doing the following things to keep the traffic up / increasing

-Hold a competition, I have held many competitions which attracts alot of new members to sign up.
-E-Mail all the members on the site, with over 100,000 visitors we get lots of people checking back
-Add downloads to the downloads section, the members love it when you post new files for them to play with
-Write guides for the site, then submit to digg / youtube / social network sites (This brings in huge traffic)
