Hi gang...

I had this posted in the Domains With Traffic Section, but the script is now fixed and working...so the domain now has a fully functional website again, and the sale belongs in the Developed Website area. So here is the deal...
Unfortunately, I must part ways with one of my projects. I don't have time anymore and my baby son is taking over my free time. So...

FutureRank.com is up for sale.

FutureRank.com became a very well know and regularly visited future page rank predictor for many webmasters. The site created a lot of return visitors and webmasters since many were using it to check ALL of the websites in their portfolio. Who knows, you might have already visited the site yourself. Anyway. It was just starting to take off and do very well when google changed the system of how they figure google PR, and blam bling blongo, the script I purchased to provide that info did not work anymore.
I was going to 'patch' the problem by using a tool from a webmaster tool share site...but figured that was just directing traffic and revenue to someone else. I didn't want to screw with finding a fix, but after trying to sell just the domain and not getting as big as a response as I had hoped, I went down the 'fix the script' mode. What ended up happening was a major overhaul of the script that started from scratch all over again. The script is now functioning and provided most of the same features (shows past 200 domains that have been looked up) and provides the current and future predicted rank. The script requires a SQL database and is very simple to apply to any design, should the new owner choose to change things up a bit.
I am the creator of the script and own master resell rights as the owner...so no worries about the script license transferring, and no worries about having some cheap or freeware script...this script s unique.

FutureRank.com gets between 1500 - 2500 unique visitors a month. In the month of May so far, the site has received 464 unique visitors. Someone needs to take advantage of the webmasters coming to this site. FutureRank.com has done over 18,000 PR searches, which can only grow for someone putting useful tools back on the site.

I was going to redirect the site to one of my other webmaster related websites to take the targeted traffic (webmasters) regularly coming to the site...but then decided that someone else may have a better use for this domain and the webmaster traffic going to it.

Why am I selling? My baby son is taking up more of my time these days. He is just now starting to figure out how to try and walk and is a terror on feet basically. It is probably best to just push this over to someone who can carry on with it and give it the attention and support it deserves. I want to, but know that it would probably just end up sitting, dormant and a waste if I keep it.

Revenue
The website has never had google adsense (for obvious reasons it goes against the google adsense TOS) or any other adsense type program on it. I hate those revenue systems and was screwed by google (lost a lot of money) and don't use any of those type of programs. I normally use my traffic to send to other sites or when the traffic gets in the 1000's per month; I sell links to make extra cash. I can show you screenshots of paypal link sales, but its kind of a moot point. I mean, when a site is getting traffic, selling links is not difficult. I would say that because I self-promoted a lot of my other sites, the $100 a month I would make on selling links could have easily been doubled.
The sky is the limit on what you do with the domain and advertising...I obviously can not make any bold guarantees...but if you aren't a first timer, then you probably will be smart enough to figure out how to make a decent amount of money from the traffic on the site, since it is all webmasters visiting. I would also think that some tools or options added to the site that require membership, or scripts that can be purchased may do very well on a site with interested and active webmasters on it.

Stats
Here are a couple links to screenshots to the traffic. I moved things over to a new server and am having problems being able to give people access to the web stats (any suggestions would be great), so if you want to see other stats...please let me know.

Since the script has been fixed on the site, I will get an updated (thru the end of May) screenshot of the stats. I will post that later on today.

PR Rank and search listings
FindMyPr.com shows the domain as a PR2. That is without the www in the PR search. With the www. it comes back as a 0, but shows more back links and search engine links than without:

without www
http://findmypr.com/check.php?url=futurerank.com

with www
http://findmypr.com/check.php?url=www.futurerank.com

FutureRank.com has some 781 indexed links in the major search engines listed at FindMyPr.com and continues to grow. Adding simple tools that allow webmasters to check from their own sites may be a smart move for the future owner, so the site will explode with inbound links.

I will push the domain name over to the new owner immediately after payment is received. I prefer paypal but am open to other options. You get the domain name and the traffic it receives, you get the website and all graphics on the site, you get one copy of the script in zip format with instructions on how to install the script. You get a 1 domain license for the script, which allows you to run the script off of only 1 domain at a time. You do not have to keep the script on FutureRank.com, but you will be allowed only 1 install at a time of the script. I can provide the new owner with the hosting account it is on for a period of time, if they need it. That can be discussed at the time of the sale or after.

I do not have any prices in mind, but figure that people should offer what they want and we will go from there. The high offer right now is $300, so that gives everyone a starting point. I will entertain all BIN offers above $700, and if I here one I like I will sell the site immediately. I have the right to end the sale at anytime, and the site will be posted for sale several other places.

Let me know if you have any questions.

$300 is high offer

I have tried several sites and all have same future rank as the current rank. Do you have any examples of sites that are going ot be increasing in PR.

Also I typed a domain just http://domain and the script errors. Will this be fixed before the sale?

The script at FutureRank.com looks at the different Google ip sources that show google PR rank...it then takes the average from all of these sources to help predict the future rank of your website.

Most of the time, in my experience, PR rank fluctuates a lot right before and right after a google PR update has been done. Don't know if that makes sense with what the script is predicting since I am not aware of a PR update right now...but I stand by my script. I feel with the change in how google determines PR that the way the futurerank.com script runs (takes average of 12 different google PR sources) is the best way to determine it. You should know that it is not an exact sience, since google does not let anyone know the exact formula they use to rank sites.

I am looking into the error that you received. Sorry about that. I should have it resolved shortly...and of course, it will be fixed before the sale of the site.

Thanks for your questions and if you have any others, please ask away.

I get conflicting results from FutureRank.com and IWebTool.com. For exampled, I checked the predicted result for one of our sites, FF-Fan.com, and your script says current 4 and predicted 4 while IWebTool.com says current 4 predicted 5.

From what I understand, these scripts query in the same manner and I can't get your script to give me a predicted result different from the actual PR.

As I explained prior, the script on futurerank.com takes the average of 12 different google PR sources. It may be possible that they query more google PR sources in order to get close but different average. I can add more google PR sources, but found that the more sources you add, the slower the script is in responding and showing the PR results. I thought what I have now was a good balance of time and the number of sources to pull an average.

I will look into increasing the number of sources, pending on the affect it has on the scripts timing.
