I Want to Buy Your Forum
Posted by Scott on 4th October, 2007 | 8 commentsIf you own a moderately active or very active discussion forum (powered by vBulletin, UBB, Invision, etc), I’d like to talk to you about buying your site (forum content and domain name). Please contact me with as much of the following information as possible so I can evaluate the opportunity and if I’m interested, make you a cash offer. No site is too big or too small, I’ll consider anything. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain from at least hearing my offer - you have no obligation to sell.
- What is your monthly traffic (uniques, visits, page views) for the past 6 months? You can share your Google Analytics account (if you have one) with my login. Contact me for my GA login email.
- How much total monthly revenue does the site generate and what are the top 5 sources of that revenue?
- What are the sites monthly expenses for the past six months, by category?
- What maintenance tasks must be performed on a daily basis to operate the site?
- Have you ever been threatened legally regarding the site (copyright/DMCA, trademark, slander) and if so, what was the outcome?
- Do you have unpaid moderators that would likely continue moderating the site indefinitely?
- From the vb control panel: signups by day for past 6 months, posts by day for last 6 months, new threads by day for last 6 months, number of active users within past 30 days.
- Are there any other particularly interesting points about the site, like high keyword rankings, media coverage, etc?

Scott, sending you an email. I think I have something you can make huge.
please give some success examples of readers who sold you their sites.
wow.. this is the first time i read a post which makes me thing “man.. this guy is so rich!”
I’ve established a budget to acquire quality forums for sums that are reasonable and that make sense economically - no one ’s throwing around money.
I’m very impressed with your site, Scott. You’ve just highlighted in this post some very useful figures to ask for when buying a site.
Like you, we’re always looking to buy forums as well. User generated content is the way to go IMO.
Thanks.
