Greetings, I am looking for someone interested in taking WebHostingForums.org (Web Hosting Forums) over and bringing it to next profitable level. WebHostingForums.org is one and a half years old forum site launched back in mid-2010 and dedicated to all things web hosting. The potential here is immense and in right hands this is a true gem, making thousands every month! Too bad, but during this year I was unable to find power in me to work with it. I had few kind members ready to give a hand in helping manage the forum. The forum ranks on all major search engines for its keywords, I see page #1 rankings in all three - Google, Yahoo! and Bing. Among the countries searching for web hosting forums the most are US, UK, Australia, and Canada. This is fantastic traffic to have, no doubts. Advertisers pay huge amounts for visitors from the mentioned countries. The exact keyphrase "web hosting forums" gets approx. 1,000 searches every month in Google alone, and that is a lot in such profitable niche as web hosting is. I want to underline that those are exact-match searches. Every search is a potential member, and every member is more contents on the site, which in result brings even more traffic from search engines. All this opens huge growth and profit possibilities. The singular phrase "web hosting forum" with exact search volume of 1,900 is also easily targetable with the plural domain WebHostingForums.org. CPC is around $7 for both these phrases! It's worthless mentioning that web hosting niche is one of the highest paying, and that it's not going to disappear anytime soon. WebHostingForums.org is a safe investment. What I like about WebHostingForums.org is its Web 2.0-ness. With that I mean, it's the visitor who creates the content. Search Engine Rankings Traffic Stats Monthly unique visitors: 500 Monthly pageviews: 3,000 US visits are top High percentage of new visits Several thousands of indexed pages in Google For more details please see Google Analytics Price Taking offers in the low $x,xxx range. Best Regards, Einar
Also I want to add that during the last year I was contacted via email several times asking for an opportunity to advertise web hosting services.
But can you please show some proof of earnings? Its all fine talking about potential, talking about it being a high paying niche etc but if its not earning, its hard to justify a big dollar offer. What you have at the moment is a free forum software, a $25 generic template and 1800 posts.....you will be lucky to get $300 if you cant show some concrete stats. Obviously im asking because im interested, but at a realistic price.
The forum is yet to be monetized. If $$$ amount per month is the only consideration, perfect, but I want to invite seeing also other factors such as the exact-match keyword domain and search engine rankings. The age and 'viewing-eye' is already there and with some reorganization the forum could be bringing in immediate income. There is a great number of high $xxx offers so far (even when the forum was not for sale), and quite a number over the 1k mark. I'm looking for 2k range to seriously consider selling. Also regarding software. MyBB is an open-source star in the world of forum engines. A lot of commercial companies successfully use open-source solutions. DreamHost also uses MyBB for their support forum, discussion.dreamhost.com And not to forget the option to safely convert to proprietary solutions vBulletin and IPB.
I agree totally, i run a forum with in excess of 200k posts and prefer it to VB. But its still free software Appreciate your comments.
None of the offers have reached your reserve on Flippa, so just wondering where "quite a number over the 1K" mark are?
