Selling Social News and Bookmarking Website | Digg-Style | High US Traffic | Custom Design

Social news and bookmarking website running on highly customized version of SocialWebCMS.

The graphic design is 100% unique.

All the content is posted by users.

125,000 pageviews/month

Please see the Awstats screenshot at the bottom of this post for more details.

The site is not monetized.
I have used AdSense for a while, but without a channel, so I can't provide any revenue details. Please use your own judgment to estimate the site potential.

Custom features:
- thumbnail upload by URL with automatic resize;
- automatic image detection (image grabber) from the submitted page;
- video embedding as a separate field, using only the video ID, to avoid users posting html code;
- email verification on registration;
- users' recent blog titles displayed in the user profile page (parsing the rss feed);
- social media profiles linked from the LifeInNews profile page (eg: http://www.lifeinnews.com/user/view/profile/admin); 30 most popular social sites and forums are supported;
- users' friends displayed in the user profile page;
- submit form integrated in the header for quick and easy submitting;
- admin user can publish any submission with one click (ajax).
- admin user can remove any submission with one click.
- automatic post remove by keywords (porn, warez etc); you can easily add/remove keywords by editing a file.

Bonus:
Free header ad (468x60) for 30 days at http://www.bmbuzz.com/advertise/ (worth $25). I have posted the ad about three days ago and I will keep it until 30 days after the sale.

Awstats:


I'm looking for a quick sale, so the BIN price is negotiable .

Please feel free to ask any questions.

 

Why no PR? Site looks nice but that scares me away. Can't you make a domain channel for a day just to see what it does in adsense? That would be very helpful.

 

PR0 doens't mean "no PR". It is considered PR0 by Google probably because the outgoing links were dofollow before I bought the site.
The site has 71,900 pages indexed by Google: http://www.google.com/#q=site:lifeinnews.com

As you probably know, the revenue for one day is not relevant, especially when the site is on sale. Also, AdSense is not the only monetization method. As the website was never properly monetized, I can't provide you relevant revenue details if I start to monetize it now.

 

OK, PR0, NO PR, whatever. Something is not right if there is a PR0 as opposed to PR N/A. I suppose your right, it's better that we have no clue what the revenue is, that way it will sell better and faster.

 

From my experience with my other projects, each kind of website needs different marketing and different monetization methods and it needs time to find the best methods and to benefit of the best of its potential.

* In one hand, if I put some Google ads in the site and then I post a screenshot of $1/day, then some buyers will say that the value of the site is maximum $300 (10 months revenue).

* In the other hand, if I put some effort into this site for one-two months, I can reach $200/month (from many revenue sources), so I can ask $2,000 for it or I can keep it for myself (this is what I actually do with other websites and this is why I have no time for this one).

Take the good part of this. The reserve is $450 only
