Travel Forum - Good DEEP links!

Site: www.itravelforum.com



I have had some car problems lately and figured I would let this one go to cover some of the repairs.

The forum is running TOPS3O's ICo Content software

I have let this run for several weeks generating posts and content.



The site has some VERY good and deep links from some travel websites.

Yahoo: 11,472

MSN 3,903

As far as indexed pages go:
Google:1,410

I really was not planning on selling this site, as I worked hard getting the links that it has. But could use the money a bit more than the site at the moment.
I was planning on adding a lot of other content to the site from databases I have. I will be including a copy of all of my databases with this sale

I have not monetized this site in anyway, I was not trying to make money from it yet. Just trying to get it well indexed with good content and links. So I have no revenue stats.

The site receives 15-30 unique a day all from search engine traffic as I have not done any promoting otherwise for the site.


Please ask any questions you might have, if I forgot to mention anything just ask

Lets start bidding at $150
I will post BIN as bidding gets going.

Thanks!

 

I'll start you out at $150, where is the domain registered?

 

Thanks for the bid blueboxer!

Domain is registered at GoDaddy

 

Does it come with the vbulletin license and TOPS3O's ICo Content software?
How many human posts are there?

 

Im running a leased license so I cant transfer it. But yes, the ICo software is included.;

 

I am interested, but I am wondering how many posts are real (vs. you made them with several accounts, paid posting ...)? I mean with that traffic you shouldn't even have close to 1000 posts? Also whats the ICo part of the site? I see the vbulletin forum, but I don't know what ICo is.

 

I was wondering the same, because most of the threads don't have any useful information. Just online posts.

 

I noticed you have taken the Yahoo Answers credit out of the posts. Are you not worried about losing your Yahoo API?

 

The majority of posts have come from the ICo Software
http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=228744 you can familiarize your self with it there.

 

I see , thanks for clearing this up. I should have read your first post more carefully

 

Sorry, I should have made that more clear

 

Hi,
Sorry had cancel my bid. I thought that your site is over 1 year old...

How old is your site?

My best regards,
Valera

 

I will repeat the question:
I noticed you have taken the Yahoo Answers credit out of the posts. Are you not worried about losing your Yahoo API?

Also I see that all most all of your links are from the "go-(state?) network. What is your relationship to them?

 

Sorry I missed the question...

Yes I took it out, a guess its a risk I was willing to take? If you buy the site feel free to put it back in.

I was able to negotiate site wide links on some of their sites.

 

Thanks for the reply. More questions:
I asked the question regarding the Yahoo credit because I have a site using ico-content with the credit in and my pages are not being indexed as yours are. Do you think taking out the credit makes a lot of difference to the search engines?
Did you pay for the site wide links and if so, will the continue with new owner and when do they expire?

 

Honestly I have no idea about the indexing. It could be attributed to numerous PR3-5 links to the site? That was my guess.

No the site wide links were not payed for by cash, it was done as a favor to me. I cannot guarantee a length of time they will be up. Though I do know there is no plans to take them down anytime soon.

On a side note, I figured I would break down what you are getting.

ICo software for the domain - $50
VB Skin - $40
Databases - $255

So I am looking to get a bare minimum of $350 for the site and stuff with it. (and that would not include the value of the links...etc )

 

I think you need to finetune your forums as some post are so short and spilt into title and message.

 

Like I was saying, I have not done much to the actual site. A lot of the posts and thread titles were done from the ICo content software, I was using it to generate a lot of content to help with SE rankings. If you purchase the site feel free to arrange, display anything the way you want

 

Hm. So why are you asking for $255 for the database then?

 

Thats what I have been selling them in the past...
see sig.
