"Developed" Sites For Sale

[Dan]

Half of the sales in the "developed" sites for sale are for proxies that were made 1 day ago.

Can a new forum be created for turnkey sites?

There would need to be some rules like the site has been up for a month or so to be considered developed. I'm sure there are some other rules that could be added, too.

That's not good.

We are certainly open to ideas for improvement. Always.

So let's see what this thread produces.

A good start, Dan!

How about a sub-forum for turnkeys?

It gets really annoying when you want to purchase a website and all you see is Arcades, Directories, Proxies and Image Uploads only.

Idea ... to be listed as a "Developed Site For Sale", it must have been developed for at least 6 months - with verifiable traffic stats posted for the last 3 months! It must also have a Page Rank of 2, as well. :gl: :talk:

If it can't match or exceed this minimum criteria, really ... it's only a "Domain Name For Sale", IMHO.

Again, just an initial idea ... the numbers (months, PR, etc.) can be perhaps better fine-tuned with further discussion/suggestion here as DB has requested. :tu:
Thanks.

IMO they should alteast have a unique design or custom coded.

A little over the top IMO. All that is needed is a sub-forum. That will eliminate the turnkey sites. A rule of the site being up a certain amount of time isn't the best idea. However, saying that if traffic stats are posted, they must be for the last 3 months (at least), WOULD be a good idea.

Yes, ^ this is a good one IMHO. :music:

^ Good points ... I may be ugly, but I'm not rigid! :p

Good thread, keep up the good, constructive thoughts folks ... :talk:

Definitely a subforum IMHO. People like to buy/sell turnkey websites, but we shouldn't have to wade through misleading titles to actually find developed websites in the developed forum.

 

[shockie]

subforum get's a vote from me too :tu:

 

[neroux]

I'd be on the subforum side too.

 

[Morph]

Subforum subforum subforum!

To be honest, i have to disagree on this one.

Good Developed sites don't need Unique Scripts or Designs.
Some forums, for example, are huge, xx,xxx members, and use the default PhpBB Theme, and not even made a edit.

To call a site "Developed", it really goes on the progress, and visitor stats.
In my opinion.

Though, i think the idea of a subforum would be good.
If the site has less than x hits, x pageviews.

Subforum for turnkey sites gets my vote.

SP has some good rules for where sites are posted...

Definition of turnkey sites

The section describes what is considered a turnkey site. Turnkey sites should not be listed for sale in the Established Sites For Sale category, and non-turnkey sites must not be listed for sale in the Turnkey Sites For Sale category.

Turnkey sites are sites which do not yet earn any revenue. Content sites without complete content and ecommerce sites without any products yet also qualify as turnkey sites.

If your site meets the following criteria, it is not considered a turnkey site and must be listed in the Established Sites For Sale category.

1. The site generates a reasonable amount of revenue, ie. enough to cover the cost of hosting.
2. If it is a content site, the site already has enough content to be reasonably useful to a visitor.
3. If it is an ecommerce site, the site already has one or more products for sale.

However, if your site meets any of the following criteria, then it should be considered a turnkey site and should be listed in the Turnkey Sites For Sale category.

* The site generates no significant revenue - not even enough to cover hosting cost.
* The site is in an unfinished state such that it is of no use to visitors yet.
* The site is based on a commonly available script or piece of software and does not contain any unique content.

Just an example of how sites could be distinguished i guess, but anyway yeah I agree something could be done with the forum.

Yeah, it would make my life easier too when browsing :tu:

Subforum for turnkey!

 

[Electric-Shadow]

I agree a subforum is a good idea, all the stuff about min PR ect is a bit much LMAO but perhaps you could just change the rules so that people have to put turnkey perhaps in brackets in the thread title, just another idea.

Subforum is i think the best way to go though

Subforum gets a vote from me as well.

 

[Dan]

I don't think you could go by number of visitors. When sites start out is when the person is doing the most advertising, meaning the visitors will increase. They could advertise for one day, and meet the requirement for that.

I think there has to be a time or revenue minimum.

I vote subforum.

 

[ahtum]

I agree, should get a subforum :tu: !

 

[Rom]

Minimum Pagerank - New sites won't have it at all and won't be fair.

Minimum Revenue - Once again, some people make revenue based on the site sale not based on the ads.

Minimum Traffic - Some people code / design website to sell right away, won't be fair for them either - this would cause lots of fake traffic.

 

[Dan]

I don't think there could be a minimum pagerank. I get 1000 uniques per day (for about 5 months now) and I still have a PR 0. I have done absolutely no advertising, so I will really never get PR.

Since most people sell based on revenue, like 3/6/12 months, I think there should be a revenue requirement. One like it has to make more than it costs to run is pretty good.
