Turnkey Quote Site for Sale

[PaddingZero]

The domain is sayin.gs (which says 'sayings').

Demo: http://sayin.gs

It is a partially developed website with a database containing more than 30 thousand quotes. It has a design (only got round to developing the index page, but it's easy enough to inter-grate the other pages).

A working example will be provided for anyone interested in purchasing. So far I have implemented A-Z categories, A-Z authors, single quotes page, quotes listing page. I had ideas to implement a rating system, the database has been developed to take this into account, but I havn't got round to implementing it. I've implemented the search feature so database quotes can be searched and caching is already in place.

Also has nice clean URL's, such as:
- sayin.gs/author/george-bush
- saying.gs/categories
- saying.gs/category/love

The back end is driven by a custom developed script.

Would be a great domain to use to make some adsense revenue.

I want £500 for it. So if anyone is interested, give me a PM and I'll set you up with temp access on the development subdomain.

A tiny bit of work would be required to get it into a fully functional site (adding the design to the rest of the pages, which is a simple task).

Cheers.

Image of the working website. As I said I will set up tmp access to dev server if anyone is interested.

This is not a bid. It's a sale. I will only accept £500 for it, no less.

Thank you for your interest.

Re: Sayings website

Hi --
Regarding your “sayings” website -- it’s nice. I like it. Just a few comments.

-- although you stated in your posting that the search feature worked, it did not work for me. Any ideas as to why?

-- do you have quotes all the way to Zed? I seemed to bottom out around G or H or somewhere. How easy is it to add more categories / quotes to the site?

-- what about the rating system? Implemented? How does it work?

-- I’ll have to admit, the “sayin.gs” domain is a bit funky. People coming to the site might be a bit spooked with something they’ve never seen. As you know, two-letter domains are usually reserved for countries. Personally, I don’t think the “.gs” would work all that well.

-- How far are you willing to develop this site? Are you selling it “as is,” or will you develop it to completion for the buyer? Or is that the buyer’s responsibility? If so, will you develop it to completion (or a portion thereof) for the buyer?

-- lastly, your asking price of £500 is, IMHO, is a bit steep. That’s $700 US (which is where I am). The site is not complete and functional, and I think the domain is not usable. Since the site is pretty strait-forward, I think you’re placing most of the value on the domain.

If you’re firm at £700, then I’m not interested. If perhaps you would consider a somewhat lower price, then maybe we can work something out.

Thanks!

Yes I am firm on $700.

Site is to be sold as it is right now. The search feature does work, I've had people test it.

I have the rest of it to go online on the 20th of March, which includes tagging and user comments on single quotes. Also has improved optimized mark-up per quote for better SEO. And there is a better design for the quotes listing pages and authors/categories pages.

Why am I asking $700? That isn't a lot for what can be made back with some effort and persistence. I'm in the process of adding adsense, so the stats should feedback soon. If I keep seeing an increase in traffic I may even retract this sale.

Currently traffic is steady at just over 100 uniques a day and I'm getting some keyword traffic from google.

... 3rd link down.

I value this project. I have invested time and money into it. And whats due to go into it will boost community use and possibly more visitors.

To be honest, I'm not really that fussed if it don't sell because the longer it dont, and as long as the traffic and stats continue to rise, the more it will be worth.

Also, as for development. I would complete the rest of it for the buyer, but there would be a charge as the sale is for the site as it is. I'm only implementing the final parts that where due to go into the project in the first place.

Cheers

Dropped to 300 UK Pounds. Sold as it is. Already have links coming from Google. Traffic is slow, but getting daily uniques.

Stats are open to view: http://webstats.sayin.gs/awstats.pl

Site's only been up a month. Lots of potential.
