Selling Sports Force Interactive - Sports News Portal

Sports Force Interactive​

Ladies and Gentlemen today I come before you offering up my 'baby' a website that I have been working on for six years for sale. After starting a new job I no longer have the time to update the site as needed and think that there are others out there who can do it more justice than I can do at this current stage.

For Sale today is Sports Force Interactive, an Australian-based sports news portal AND sports orientated message board.

Sports Force Interactive
The Sports Force Interactive was launched in 2006 under a different name and over the years we have worked long and hard on improving the website, and all added on functionality.

To this current date the monthly visitors fluctuate with the changing sporting seasons, at times we were receiving over 20 000 unique visitors, and at other times around what it is now which is 3000. This continues to be the case as it continues to go up and down depending on the sporting season, and the sporting news available.

Our news e-mail address currently receives media releases from approximately 5000 sporting organizations, associations, teams and sporting personalities which makes it easy, understandable and simple to keep the site updated where with some coding you would be able to edit the site to have them appear straight on the website, or do what we have been doing and that is re-write the media releases into our own articles.

It wasn't until six months ago I really took notice of keywords, SEO and my google ranking which is why we are not very up there as we should be but with a little bit of work from the new owner I am sure you will be able to sore.

Please assume no revenue, although we have had payouts from Google in the past, and have successfully sold our own advertising space throughout the system.

The front of our website is run using WordPress with a news/magazine portal theme that was purchased. There are a number of plugins installed which includes auto-tagger and the added functionality of posts going directly to our Facebook and Twitter accounts when they are made to help further get our news articles out.

The Pavilion Forums
The Pavilion Forums are our sports orientated message board and comes running a xenForo license (which you also get as part of the sale), with a heavily customized theme. There are a number of paid addons installed and a community of members over 5000 (and 76 000+ posts).

We recently moved to xenforo after our previous forums (vBulletin) were hacked twice forcing us to start over from scratch.

I would like a quick sale so I know the site is in good hands before I focus on my new job.
Payments through paypal, you receive all domain names currently associated with the website, all wordpress themes and plugins, XenForo license and plugins and the e-mail account that receives all of the media releases.

There also is a member of the writing team who would be willing to stay on and continue writing his articles if you are interested.

If you have any questions please contact me.
