Unique developed Hip Hop website + Forum = 82k post + 4300 members

Age of site (months): 4

Monthly revenue: 250/300 just with ads (google) + variable in banner sales. This month: 150$

Revenue details:
First 2 month site had no ads on the board. The 3rd month we added Yahoo ads and got about 250$ per month.
Last month its averaging 9$ per day with google ads.
Ads are not optimized so for sure the revenue can be increased a lot. We were about to add an affiliate store that can be finished by you to boost revenue. But main interest of the board was not to be "commercial" so we never cared too much about the revenue, just the need to pay the host

Monthly page views:
1021957 (last month) - June just 6 days with 270k page views

Here added a screen. Last month we did not track 4 days thats why its a bit lower the uniques.


Traffic details:
The traffic is generated basically from both word of mouth and advertising the staff does. We have ads bought from RAPMUSIC.com (boards.forum.com) that has alexa of 40k average. (value of ads $250) Valid until 3rd of July 2006



Also its being advertised on google adwords with a budget of $200 (remaining 100$ bonus will be given to new owner)

The admins are also tight with Mack Maine's manager ( http://www.MackMaine.com , an artist signed to Cash Money / Young Money which is a major label and they link to us on their forum and are looking to link to us on the main site )

When the site is bought, the staff will remain the same.
I will also stay in there.

We get a fair ammount of Search Engine traffic too.

I keep a MySpace account for the website itself, which delivers nice traffic, this will remain in my hands and the staff has access to it.
Account its not included in the sale, but we will continue posting up to 5 bulletins monthly for 2 month and then we can continue doing it.
Myspace account has more than 120,000 in total.
We can arrange some extra bulletins for future in private for some extra cash.

Reasons for selling

Before you ask me, I am selling this absolutly because I am all day at university.
Site dont need much maintenance, but if you want to make it the best online place to talk about hip hop you have to work on it...
So, i prefer if someone its really intrested, to give him the pass.
I am really glad i joined nica a few month ago when we wanted to sell it here, but know i know that we can go for some good new owner, commited to continue the good path.
