TalksDirect.com - Discussion Board Caching Engine

Discussion in 'Sites' started by abuzant, Mar 3, 2006.

    Hello,

    After the successful sale of my previous engine (www.fileburn.com) I decided to continue creating such cost-effective websites that will make some cool cash for its owners, and now i am readu with my next offer.

    Website name:
    talksDirect - www.talksDirect.com

    Description:
    This is an engine that reads, caches, categorizes and displays threads from discussion baords in a user-friendly interface as you can see if you click to see the website.

    As almost all users on all boards talk about new things, forums has been known to occupy a good place on major SERPs. And so will talksDirect.com pages as they are containing fresh content from all the leading forums all the time.

    This is legal, as the engine is not claiming to own the information and displays backlinks to the original threads, etc..

    IMHO, such a website shall obtain a good PR (at least 5-6) after two google updates and will be a good money maker though affiliate programs and contextual text advertisement as adsense of course.

    Site age:
    about 30 minutes, i just finished debugging the codes and uploaded everything to the public. At the moment, i am starting to do all possible submissions to wherever possible.

    Sale details:
    I am looking for serious buyers that see the potential in such a project, and so will offer me some good price for the solution. The software is unique as i still did not sell any copy.

    With your purchase, you will get the domain name talksDirect.com, the original scripts, the complete templates (PSD, HTML, CSS) and the complete author, resell, redistribute and republish rights. You are buying a totally complete solution that will be yours in all means since the moment you pay for it. You are free to see copis of it or do whatever you think needed/possible.

    Starting bid:
    I think such a unique solution, a nice domain name, complete resell & etc.. rights of the script would be worth a starting bid of $499

    Please post or PM your offers, $50 increasements are appreciated.
    Please understand that i retain the right not to sell the domain and the scripts solution if i do not get the price i have in mind, the thread will keep open until it is sold so whenever you read this thread, just PM me for current bid and details.

    Good luck everybody, please ask if any information is needed.

    I may be interested in this one or just the script and site design to put on an existing domain. How much for a copy without the domain?

    Is it easy change and update the forums and to only show a certain category from a forum? Can you show a screenshot of the admin panel to control that?

    More results from XYZ forum sorted by category does not seem to work.

    Would you include installation and set-up?

    Thank you for your inquiry regarding talksDirect.com, here are some answers for your questions.

    Regarding the script without the domain:
    Actually, in the majority of my sales, the domain name if free anyway..
    I, as a developer, create scripts and solutions for interested buyers, and to be able to show my work for people, i just purchase some name and upload the engines/scripts as for people to be able to see it in action, so it wont be a big difference you get it with the domain or not. By the way, i currently do not sell copis of the engine, i am looking for a buyer that is interested in buying the script with all its copyrights, and of course the one and the only copy which i have. Then, you/the buyer is free to do whatever he thinks is roght. You can for example post in on HotScripts.com as now own all copyrights and start selling copies for the price you like, in this case i think people will be more than happy to pay you some $150 in average for a copy of it. Such scripts will guarantee a high push to some domain's PR and inclusion in major SERP's as it will always have recent titles and topics of all new things out there that interest people, as actually people talk on forums about things that interestes as them personally, as the pulic in general. So regarding the price, i am not even sure how to answer you, all i can really say at this point is that i will be waiting for more offers.. i still did not get the offer i am looking for, please feel free to make yours.

    Forum Updates/Changes:
    As i am not sure of the level of knowledge some poeple have, i usually create scripts/solutions that are 100% automated. In this case, all you need to do is to tell the script some URL of an RSS/XML feed of absolutley any vBulletin forum out there, it will do all the rest by itself.. categorizing, paging, SEO optimizing and creating all the structures is done by the script itself.

    To watch only certain categories from some forum, you can tell the script to fetch news with that forum's id attached:

    For example, to see only news from Digital-Point-Forums Business Category, all you need to tell the script is to fetch news from http://forums.digitalpoint.com/external.php?f=32 - You will then see only news from that specific category..

    Also, lots of combinations are available such as:
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/external.php?f=32,13,18,14,.....

    Admin panel:
    ;-) There is no admin panel, there is just one page where you ened to tell the engine where to fetch news from, you specify the URL of some forum feed, its name and thats it, as i mentioned above, everything else is done by the script.

    XYZ error:
    I know, thanks for alerting me.. im just too lazy to go fix that mod_rewrite rule.. will make sure to editin asap ;-)

    Best regards, Ruslan

    I must admit calling it a "discussion board cache engine" is pretty slick marketing.

    But isn't this just RSS feeds from different forums displayed on a page with adsense?

    Do you have explicit permission from all those forum owners to use their content to earn Adsense revenue and outrank them in the SEs for their own content?
