An individual has decided to sell their significant web asset, a well-developed SEO forum. This platform, initially created to enhance their reputation in SEO, has contributed significantly to their success over the past two years. The site offers substantial value for aspiring SEO professionals, established agencies, or those looking to expand their portfolio with a high-value asset. Key features include a strong domain, considerable organic traffic of approximately 90,000 unique visitors per month, a complete vBulletin license, custom SEO plugins, custom themes, a plugin shop, and a vast number of backlinks. The forum boasts over 19,000 members, more than 82,000 posts, and upwards of 13,000 threads, with several plugins developed by the owner, requiring updates.
Financially, the site was not monetized until recently. With the addition of AdSense and banner ads, the forum now earns over $1,500 monthly, or about $18,000 annually. Monthly revenues from July to mid-October have varied, with a combination of AdSense and banner ad income. Payment options for the sale exclude PayPal for security reasons, favoring escrow or bank transfers.
The site possesses untapped potential for additional revenue streams, including SEO services, affiliate deals, direct marketing, SEO plugin sales, and more. Despite the lack of prior advertising expenditure, the site benefits from 100% free traffic through SEO and referrals. The owner, well-regarded in the online marketplace, ensures secure transactions backed by a positive reputation and extensive experience in website trade.
