Domain Name: www.thesoccerforum.net

I just like to say i am working as a broker for this website of a good friend of my.

Starting Price: $6000

Type of website: Football news site

Message:
URL: www.thesoccerforum.net

Reason for sale Sellers statement: I have got a couple of busy months coming up with other projects and no longer have the time to run the website. Although i can help you out if you need tips or advice on part of the website if purchased.

Age of site (months): 7 months

Monthly revenue: N/A

Revenue details:
I have currently google adverts placed on three websites which all are calculated to my account. I am not sure how much TSF make but i can be sure at least $1,000 a month can be made with the website through such Adsense and getting people to place to links on the website which you charge for.

With this being a website with such big traffic and good page rank, then its easy to get people to place links for a charge of at least $30 and banners of $200 on a monthly charge. There is plenty of cash to be made just through the traffic alone.

Traffic details:
We get from 90,000 -100,000 unique visitors monthly. The hits come from our advertisers where if we submit say 5 articles a day which takes about 5-10 minutes, this gets hits in. We dont have any article writers as i produced the articles myself but it only ever took me at most 15 minutes a day to produce. I can show easy methods in doing this, so basically updating the content is the main way the traffic comes in.

Here are some stats
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/fazmufc/tsf.jpg We moved servers in the middle of march, so we lost the hits from the previous months.

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/fazmufc/tsfaprilhits.jpg - April hits
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/fazmufc/tsfmay.jpg - May Hits
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/fazmufc/maycountriesref.jpg - May Geo location hits

If your a serious buyer i will release more information concerning the stats.

Description:
The website is a news content based website where numerous people come to visit the site to read the latest football stories. We have a comments section available so people can reply and talk about the articles. We use wordpress and its easy to setup.


Type of site:
Established and functional website with traffic


The starting bid for the website is at $6,000 as i have no clear idea about the revenue details. But believe me this site can easily make $1k a month with the silly traffic it gets.

The BIN is set at $9k

Google page rank: 4

Alexa site rank: 120,000

For everyone who are serious bidders and are seriously interested in the site please pm for the stats and other questions you may have. Thank You

Hi, who exactly are the advertisers that are sending the traffic? URLs please. Thank you.

 

[fazmufc]

Hi hit me up a PM, there are a number of websites but most of the hits also are direct as it gets good publicity in the football scene.

If the website received 100,000 uniques a month heres an obvious question...

Why haven't you put any google adsense on there, realizing the amount of money this could bring in?

 

[fazmufc]

I have put on google ads stated above

Why is there 1 user online on a site that has 100K visitors per month?

Why are there zero or one comment on most of the articles with 3000-3300 visitors per average day? (90,000/30 to 100,000/30)

Why is the pagerank 0 (indexed but not yet ranked) for internal pages if your site has been around for 7 months?

Why do your articles (the only discernable content on the site) date back barely 4 months to March 15th for a 7 month old site?

Do you know many of the pages are broken in both Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer?

Why aren't you using Google channels to separate income from the different websites?

If this site can easily make $2k/month with the traffic it gets, why isn't it making $2k/month? Not worth the time to bring in an extra $1000 each month?

Site comes up with a PR4 for me.

Any update how much its predicted to make then?

internal pages, those would be pages that are not the homepage.

I'd be interested to see more on this too (ie: answers to some of the above questions).

Please send/post any Revenue Stats Please.

Thanks!

Why is there 1 user online on a site that has 100K visitors per month?

At certain times especially due to the time difference we get low visitors and it depends on the amount of articles which are submitted to. The more articles submitted thanks to our advertisers(which i can give more information on if you pm) the more hits that can come in.

Why are there zero or one comment on most of the articles with 3000-3300 visitors per average day? (90,000/30 to 100,000/30)

Most people really come to read the articles, we have numerous topics which have had loads of replies. It all depends on the topic tbh.

Why is the pagerank 0 (indexed but not yet ranked) for internal pages if your site has been around for 7 months?

do you mean the pages which are linked of the homepage? I am not sure about this answer as we have had problems with the server before and we been chopping and changing too. Most of the hits really come on the topic pages

Why do your articles (the only discernable content on the site) date back barely 4 months to March 15th for a 7 month old site?

We used to be run as a forum before and not have as busy news content as we do now. We also have changed the server so lost a lot of our articles and this was something which was out of my control as it was the servers fault for losing the articles. The forum we decided to close down as i did not have time to attract much people to the forums

Do you know many of the pages are broken in both Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer?

I have not had this problem before, is there any links you can tell me which are broken. We are not on the best server at the moment.

Why aren't you using Google channels to separate income from the different websites?

I explained this before that i had no idea this was possible before and just thought i add the adcode to my websites so i can get a total sum

If this site can easily make $2k/month with the traffic it gets, why isn't it making $2k/month? Not worth the time to bring in an extra $1000 each month?

I have not been able to change the websites design a little, if i possibly made it more of a website with more features and possibly used another package so Fastclick and Casalemedia can be added it would. I also have not been looking for companies to add there links or banners which would definally be worth the punt. Also i think there was typo error i just realised which i meant to say at least easily can make $1k a month which i just edited. Sorry about this.

Just answered these aboves. I am not to sure on the revenue but there is honest money to be made from the website. Football sites always have potential as there is something new everyday which attracts people. If you can submit news on a regular basis this can work well for yourself. If you submit say more and more articles on a regular basis, its basically the more money can be earned too.

I'd be interested to see more on this too (ie: answers to some of the above questions).

Please send/post any Revenue Stats Please.

Thanks!

I couldnt give you any clear revenue stats im afraid, this is the only problem. If possible i would. No revenue stats would give you any idea how i currently make through the site but rest assured there is money to be made if the right methods are used.

Any of the by country catagory pages don't display properly. It looks like stuff that should be in the rightside navigation area is not being floated/aligned properly. Scroll down those catagory pages.

PM'ed you with setup directions. Can be done in a matter of a few minutes, will give you revenue stats to include only thesoccerforum.net website, so you can have a usable proof of revenue.

Thanks for the latest PM

I have replied back to them all, if interested in making a bid please pm me as there has been a fair bit of interest.

I am willing to start the auction at $5k too.

This is still for sale, we are currently moving the server so there maybe some downtime.
