Two UNIQUE feed-based news websites!

    For auction here are two custom designed/coded RSS feed-based news websites. I put a good deal of money into setting this all up, but my loss is your gain; selling because I need some extra $$ for some new BBS rims.

    #1:
    SOURP.com
    Google indexed pages: 25,600
    PR: 4

    #2:
    ITAPPED.com
    Google indexed pages: 1,000
    PR: 2

    HUGE
    potential. $0 spent on advertising so far, just a little advertising could easily bring large sums of traffic.

    Traffic is low on both (only SE traffic), and minimal (together they make about $20 a month) advertising profits, but once again, with minimal publicity, these sites could easily become a hit. I have been contacted by a few companies willing to pay for footer links at $10 a month-ish, will forward those emails if wanted.

    Paypal only.

    Starting bid: $750
    BIN: $2,000


    If auction goes over $1,250, will throw in ALLBESTGAMES.com (PR3), which makes about $15 a month with Yahoo. No publicity besides free games network advertising for that one too.

    BIN includes all three sites, with vBulletin licenses.

    vBulletin licenses not included unless bidding goes over $1,750.

    Starting bid reduced to $500...

    BIN reduced to $1,750...

    Don't want to sound like I'm giving myself a shameless bump... but is anyone interested? Is there any more information I need to provide? I read the guide to posting in this section but seriously, I thought this was a steal! :)

    I listed the sites in the original post... try re-reading it, you must not have seen it.

    OK then, starting bid reduced to $400, BIN reduced to $1,500... I can't go much lower than this as I paid much more to have it designed, implemented, and coded.

    Fixed. Credits at bottom were a traffic pillowing/ownership blunder during the early development of the site.

    This is a database issue that can be easily be fixed. I will fix it before the dump is made for the new owner.

    Furthermore, I will be happy to include a month of free hosting for all three sites (SOURP.com, ITAPPED.com, ALLBESTGAMES.com) on one of my dedicated servers for the transition period.

    OK, BIN reduced to $1,200 without vBulletin licenses. This is as low as I am going as I am already losing $1,500 from the initial project investment. Thanks for all PMs but if you are looking for a site with high traffic/revenue already, this is not your site. If you are looking for a unique design/site, as well as great backlinks and PR, with awesome potential, then this is for you.

    Throw me some offers/bids.

    BIN = $1,000.

    Can't believe I'm doing this!

    Taking offers...

    wow your sites are interesting, but the news is generated by bots and your forums are all bot related as well. No real user/member activity. I like the script, not interested in the domains. How much for that?

    when i click on a news link from your feed it does not refer it to the original news feed.....

    can the script be easily modified to get feeds from other news sources and then enable users to comment on the feeds? I still can not see the original news feed

    Exactly. It refers to the full description of the article of the source feed on the SOURP/ITAPPED forums. From there, you click "SOURP More" to be taken to the source, which is framed inside the SOURP URL with a Google ad at top, to keep visitors within your site and make money from the ads up top.
    Yes, just add the feed RSS to the vBulletin RSS manager. Comments on the feeds is already setup...

    BIN for SOURP.com and ITAPPED.com together reduced to $750.

    vBulletin licenses not included.

    ALLBESTGAMES.com not included in the $750 BIN.

    Not selling the "script" (frontend) independently... These sister sites will be unique!

    BIN reduced to $700... comon' now DPers, don't leave me hangin'!

    Put just a little bit of effort into these sites and you'll be set... I'm going to keep the sites if I can't get the BIN. And this is as low as I am going.
