I thought I add this, reason for selling: need capital for a bigger venture.

 

Did you may be put an extra 0 in the price my mistake Good luck with the sale

 

Thanks, you have a nice day.

 

Is that per month?

 

Yes sir, that's per month.

 

The transfer will be straight-forward. I will transfer the ownership of our current hosting account to the buyer.

We are on Dual Xeon 2.8 with 3GB RAM with iweb.ca, the best webhosting in Canada.

 

Is there a reason why it doesn't use Adsense? (Because "YPN only" restricts you to selling just to someone in the US)

 

I shamelessly admit that I got banned for clicking on my own ads. I was naive. It was 4/5 months ago.

Are you interested in buying the site?

 

Thanks for your honesty in admitting that

 

If you want to chat, we can via AIM/YM/MSN tonight. Hit me a PM on the time.

 

I think it's safe to add YPN ads since 75% of the traffic is USA traffic. FYI, the big money doesn't come from either YPN or Adsense. It's from the direct advertisers, like I said in the first post, two bigger similar forums make 40k/month each, one of them doesn't have a single network ads.

 

Personally, I would not buy the forum for 30k, maybe (ALOT) lower than that as I have seen forums being sold for 2500 with over 250k members and over 1million posts and 500k- threads. (This was back in 2000).

If you were to sell that forum, I would recommend you selling it with a better layout to give it a cleaner presentation to a new buyer, think as if you were selling a house or a car, clean it up, make it shine and give it a clean look before pulling it on the market.

Best of luck to your forum.

 

I don't mean to be unconstructive but check out talkgold.com/forum

They make 40k/month and value at 450k, site's full of ads with no layout "tweaks" at all.

Well, all my members have been happy with the current layout, I have changed the design/layout 3 times so far and everytime I did it, my members gone mad so I decided that the 3rd time was the last time.

And of course, if I sell it, it's up to the new buyer to do whatever he/she wants.

 

How much was that forum making/month? I doubt anyone would sell a site for a month profit. It just doesn't make sense unless of course, the economy was bad at that time, 2001 was a bad year for everybody and 2000 was the start of a minor recession.

Regarding the price, I don't know about you, but I personally would rather wait a month.

Additionally, the site includes licensed vb and vbseo with another 1k worth of custom mods(n/a on vb.org or anywhere else).
A set of 10 banners will also be included.

p/s: what's wrong with the layout? I think it's a pretty standard one but if you meant the design, that's something subjective, just like your gf. lol.

 

Received two more inquires on ads purchase today.

Another one is a 50usd payment for 2 weeks ad.

 

Are you willing to accept lower bids?

 

Please PM me your offer (this is not an auction).

BTW, 3113 Visits yesterday based on Webalizer.

 

Hosting for next month is already paid, $239.
I will include our nameservers domain for free also.

2006 is a different world to 2000. If the forum is active and the revenues stable, then it's basically buying a business for just 12 months revenue.
