Question How much could I sell for?

[I have not posted this in Marketplace because the forum is not actually for sale but it might be if I feel the return I can get on it would be worth the investment I have put in to it.]

Lurking Mastermind
Lurking Mastermind ~ Insert crap tagline here

Is a live active forum and possibly for sale to the right bidder. It currently ranks PR3 and traffic is reasonable with 1.5 million hits to date for December.

Full stats to date for December:



Unfortunately I have recently moved hosts and there is no other stats available.

Current income is poor but the forums are not well monetized with only a couple of header/footer adsense banners. I'm sure this could be worked upon to earn some decent money.

Adsense earnings for the period December 1, 2007 - December 26, 2007 was $42.24
Adsense earnings for the period November 1, 2007 - November 30, 2007 was $22.34
Adsense earnings for the period October 1, 2007 - October 31, 2007 was $12.64


I will consider including an owned vBlicence (currently expired $30to reactivate for 12 months) with vBblog (valid until Sep 23rd '08), an owned vBSEO licence.

Forum stats are:

Members: 887 · Threads: 8,998 · Posts: 238,214

What do you think? BE HONEST.

Thank you.


(mods/staff - sorry if I posted this in the wrong place. feel free to move)

I can't exactly figure out those stats

How many uniques per day do you get?
New members per day?
New posts per day?

And am I right in thinking you were established February 2005?

Average 650 unique visits a day
New members less than one a day
New posts anywhere from 200 to 400

Was established February 2005 as Devious Tyrant. Lurking Mastermind was established about a year ago and merged with Devious Tyrant soon after.

Thanks for the estimate. That's not a bad amount.

I'm on the low-end of Lee's estimates...Low $1,xxx

If you're thinking about selling, my recommendation would be to better monetize your forums first and let them go a month or two making more money. I do think you can get more money out of them than you currently are, and if you can show this to potential buyers, you can easily raise the value

I figured I might be able to, but I have very little experience in this kind of thing. Who would be able to help me?

That's the beauty of the internet, help yourself. There are plenty of great resources to learn how to more effectively monetize your site and you have to learn it eventually. AdminFusion here is good and Earner's Forum are 2 sites i visit to learn about how to make a little change off my sites.
