I own a cell phone & PDA user forum which has over a thousand active members. The domain has a google pagerank of 7 and google has indexed over 11,000 pages on the site. The site has over 4,000 backlinks in google too.

I would rather not release the domain name here as I do not want the impending sale of this site to become common knowledge. If you would like to see the site please email me and I will send the url to you.

Traffic growth has been steadily increasing every month due mostly to my SEO skills. The site gets on average 4,000 - 4,500 unique visitors per day.

Revenue comes from google adsense and last month totaled $2,500 (USD). Revenue increases by several hundred dollars every month.

Traffic and revenue have shown significant exponential growth every month since I launched the site in December 2003. I can provide traffic and revenue reporting records from initial launch to present day if prospective buyers wish to see them.

If this is along the lines of what you're looking for feel free to email me. You'll find my contact info in my profile.

I am asking $40,000 all inclusive but will take a serious look at any offers over $30,000 (USD).

Unfortunately I cannot let the site go for $14k. If the site does not sell I already have a foundation in place for maximum long term growth. Based on historical revenue and traffic statistic analysis this site will push way past a quarter of a million dollars in revenue over the next 60 months.


Thank you for the offer though

Actually I have another site, an automotive performance tuning forum which uses the same business model as the cell phone & pda forum.

I might be willing to part with the automotive forum for $10k. The automotive forum is only a month old but has already got high quality content (posts) within it, is 100% search engine optimized, spider-friendly; and has some search engine traffic. The domain has zero PR right now but I can boost it to PR7 with links from my other web properties and guarantee that those links stay in place for 1 year. In fact the links I have set to point to it within the last 3 weeks will push it to PR6 in the next PR update.

I would also be willing to work closely with you for 6 months as a consultant to show you how to properly promote the site and see ROI + significant profit within your first year of ownership. Of course my consultant fee would be waived and considered included in the $10k purchase price.

Consider this a valuable opportunity for prospective buyers to learn how to truly set themselves free financially for life, just like I did for myself. I won't kidd you, this takes hard work initially. There are a specific set of steps you need to follow and act on to crank up the heat in terms of traffic and revenue growth but it's not rocket science.

Something to think about.

Can you PM the url of both sites as well?

May I ask you the reason why you're selling?

Pm's have been sent to you all.

barleduc, I'm selling because I build these sites for a living. I sit at home and crank one of these forum sites out every month. Once they have a profitable track record I begin to look for a buyer. If I kept them I'd be hard pressed for time to maintain them all, although the maintenance of a single forum site of this caliber is minimal (3-4 hours a month).

These sites are true revenue generating locomotives. After you get them rolling and completely optimized for the search engines you'd be hard pressed to find them slowing down.

Couple things I forgot to mention...

If you zip over to google and search for cell phones you'll find the cell phone forum is ranked in the top 20 with over 8 million competing pages.

Same for the term cell phone reviews ...ranked in the top 20 with over 4 million competing pages.

Same for the term cell phone plans ...ranked in the top 10 with over 4 million competing pages.

Same with the term cell phone forum ...ranked in the top 10 with over 4 million competing pages.

I could go on... there are so far this month 29080 different keyphrases that this site is taking traffic from the engines with.

I live, eat, sleep and breath SEO. The cell phone forum is kicking *** in the engines and the automotive forum is well on it's way to kicking *** in the engines.

In the past day or so I've had a couple of peeps from this thread ask me privately if I'd be open to a deposit + payment plan to purchase these sites.

The answer is "maybe", depending on your answers to the following questions: I'd want to know what kind of terms were you thinking about? How much upfront would you be willing to lay down? How long a term were you thinking for paying off the remaining balance? If I did agree to payment plan of some sort I would want to retain ownership of the domain and I would want the site to remain hosted on my machine. You would have full unrestricted control over and access to the site via ftp or ssh2 though. After the site is paid off I would immediately transfer the site and domain ownership over to you.

So if you come to me with that question please have ready answers to my questions to speed up the decision process on my end.

Thanks muchly
