domain Nova-boards.com

[Linda]

Can anyone appraise http://www.nova-boards.com?
I know the name itself isn't that great but it is home to a very popular message board.
There are over 3000 members, alot of them are active.
Here are some average stats:
New members per day: 24
New topics per day: 210
Posts per day: 3228

As for hits... the stats can be found here, where you can see that the number of daily average visits is 3776.
You can also see referrer stuff here

Ofcourse, all files/database etc would come with the name.

Last month I made about $150 from selling banner/popup/sticky advertising space on Nova.

 

[drifta]

i would say $300+

as the quality of traffic isnt the best quality
as a huge %age of the kids there dont have creditcards or paypal

 

[Linda]

Yeah, it doesn't have the best type of traffic, thanks though! :D

 

[mOOse]

Should be at least 3/4 months of your income, and taking into account the number of members and how active they are I'd say at least $500+

Good luck

all traffic started after 15 june..is it a school project? all members are students in same school?..

 

[Linda]

Its not a school project.. The members are from all over the world... only one or two probably share schools (no more so than any other message board on the web anyway).

 

[Tassos]

how did they learn about this site in less than 20 days??

 

[Linda]

What do you mean?

The message board has been open for about a year, the stats only show the last 3 months.

Guys, don't be so assumptive. The forum was launched before they got the nova-boards.com domain name.

Yes, it was hosted on my other domain for a long time (fever-design.com/nova) but once it started getting big i got its own domain. It was still the same site and everything.

If it were sold as a business with consistant income I would say $6k-$9k.

As is, $1k+
Mainly because of the userbase demographics.
JMHO
Good Luck!

 

[Nintwa]

Any suggestions on how would I be able to make it a business? Teen message boards aren't the greatest of business ventures :red:

That is a very tough niche.
From my experience I would suggest affiliate program(s) that fit the demographics of the userbase. Perhaps some apparel too?

And last but not least...lose the popups. They are about as effective as SPAM nowdays.

Getting the traffic is easy. Converting it into income is a never ending task we all face.

Cheers!

500+ ... I heard it mentioned about kids not having paypal.. I know because I used to be a member there that a number of them do.
