Still interested in selling this site... offers welcome - same or better SE positioning and saturation!

I give you $500 for it

Thanks for the offer, eljoaquin, but I am looking more for offers in the XXXX range. Unless you are offering for bluesmusic.us alone.

Cheers,

Rob

I don't think you're gonna get any serious bids unless you post traffic stats and revenue publicly.

Also, it's now resolving to a GoDaddy landing page?

 

[RTM]

Good points, tolkien, will have some more detailled (and updated) traffic stats posted shortly. Not sure about the GD landing page, just tested from a couple of IP locations and it's resolving to the site.

Detailled stats wil be forthcoming for those who are interested. SERP positioning has improved and expanded! (Y G M)

We will also be doing a site upgrade this weekend, which will probably bring back many members who haven't seen the site recently.

As promised, some detailled screenshots of stats are attached. The period analysed is December 1, 2005 - February 15, 2006 (today)... Another important point to note: the traffic has been significantly down since the community does need an injection of effort to ramp up the traffic... (1300+ registered members can easily become a *lot* of sticky eyeballs.) The site has been established many years.

With regards to revenue, very low over the last few months, perhaps averaging $0.50-1.50 per day. It's got Adsense running (but not with channels in all areas) and also various CJ affiliate links (eBay, various Music stores, etc.)

I'm motivated to sell because I have other projects that we need to focus on, and this is an excellent opportunity to run with a very established forum site that simply needs a rally to bring the members back.

Please, no lowball offers - there is no fixed BIN for the moment, but if I get the right offer from a qualified and reputable buyer -
it will go! See first post for offer and payment guidelines.

I might be interesed. Not worried about bluesmusic.us, so feel free to sell that yourself and perhaps PM me with a new lower price. PayPal is fine. Thanks.

Hello, just sent you a PM with a quote - not sure what you meant by "lower price" as there is no BIN established for the site, but as mentioned, the range for a qualified buyer is mid XXXX. BluesMusic.us is presently in nego for a stand-alone sale, so templeofblues.com is available as a turnkey site on its own.

Cheers,

Rob
