The business, a technology blog and forum established in 1997 on Geocities before moving to its own domain in 1999, is a notable entity in the tech sector. It has published over 20,000 news articles, more than 500 product reviews, and 115 articles on various tech subjects. During its peak, it attracted 4.5 million unique visitors monthly and was monetized through Google Adsense, sponsored ads, and affiliate links. The site boasts a strong backlink portfolio from reputable sources and its forum includes 500,000 members and 300,000 threads, operating largely on autopilot with minimal spam due to volunteer management.
In its sale, the business includes two domains, a custom WordPress theme, social media accounts, and advertisement templates. The original founder, who regained full ownership after a failed investment round led by a co-founder, has stabilized the site. The business benefits from strong brand loyalty and community engagement.
Opportunities for new ownership include enhancing marketing efforts, investing in SEO, and reinstating its Google News status, which was lost due to a Sitemap issue. Potential growth could also stem from adjusting fees for guest posts and enhancing editorial output. The seller continues to write daily news articles, although this is not necessary for current revenue. A couple of volunteers independently write reviews and manage spam moderation. Post-sale support will be provided by the seller to ease the business transition.
