Description
Streetread.com - Innovative Financial News Webapp
------------------------
WHAT IS IT?
Streetread.com is an innovative financial news aggregation web-application, launched in June of 2008, aimed to make it extremely simple and fast for investors and others interested in Wall Street and the economy to track all of the news around the web. Streetread aggregates the latest headlines from over 20 of the leading financial sites as well as all of the stocks you wish to follow - all within a fresh, ajax-driven interface, mimicing that of a desktop application. Provided within the interface are intraday stock charts and quotes, as well as extended, embedded financial information.
Streetread Mobile offers all of this functionality and data but inside a mobile-friendly, fast-loading interface (compatible with any internet-enabled device).

DEVELOPMENT/BACKEND
Backend: Drupal 5.x

Development and design took over 4 months
====================================================
COSTS/REVENUE
The only cost for Streetread is the hosting. Right now it is hosted on a dedicated server which I pay $199/month for. A much cheaper, less powerful solution could be used.
No revenue streams have been established for the site yet to keep it as clean as possible while growing. Anything can be easily implemented. The financial industry is the most lucrative.
====================================================
WHY SELL?
Proposal of a new web-venture which I am pursuing.
====================================================
PRICE
The price is based on the massive development and design work that was needed to produce the site, the mobile version, the sheer innovativeness and usefulness of the site, the initial solid userbase in the thousands, a pagerank of 4 with strong organic traffic, over 1,000 backlinks, impressive media coverage, and more.

You and I PM'd about purchase. Hang tight this upcoming month looks good. I really like this site and I think we will be able to make a deal. If you sell it before hand my loss is your gain.

@DanNicol: That was implemented as a test recently so revenue detail isn't available.

Why are you expecting a minimum bid of $8.5k when you have no revenue at all? How much potential do you think this site has...?

And so on..
There is no revenue at all because I chose not to have the site generate revenue yet.

@mstef - actually you are attempting or testing revenue generating co-reg path ideas, would you share how this test is going as this is a good indication of the potential of the site. How long have you been testing, what is the initial revenue etc etc - feel free to PM this if you dont want it public.

Well I suppose test was a bad choice of words then. I was planning on beginning to test different models and ideas but because I am pursuing a new project which came up rather suddenly, I no longer have the time for this website.
To generate revenue, my plan was always to fill the site with financial-related affiliate offers (CPA). Online brokers, credit reporters, insurance companies, mortgage companies, banks, credit card companies, and the rest, all pay huge amounts of money per lead or signup (from $20-$200). Testing to see which performs best would be easy.

Is the typical financial news site reader a target demographic for:
[quote]Online brokers, credit reporters, insurance companies, mortgage companies, banks, credit card companies[/quote]
Isn't it more likely to be dumb consumers?

I wasn't saying that the users are credit reporters and mortgage companies, I was saying that they would be interested in offers from them. And no, I wouldn't assume they are dumb consumers. The Streetread blog is completely focused on those topics.
