Suggest me a price....URGENT
I am considering buying a 7-8 year old forum but cannot make up my mind as to what is the maximum that I should consider paying. I need suggestions for evaluation from you... kindly help. I have only about 4-5 hours of time to decide.
1. Over 90,000 registered members
2. Over 4.5 mn posts
3. The traffic is on decline, but that is primarily due to owners not taking interest in its development ---> current owner's version, as well as somewhat obvious from the site.
Quantcast reports:
Monthly US traffic is around 4000 uniques with over 55000 visits. Max reported is 8000 uniques just a few months back.
Of these, 8% are addicts, 27% are regulars and rest as passers-by, with share of visits as 84%, 7% and 9% respectively.
4. Current owner reports that over 90,000 pages are indexed in google, and over 4.5 mn in Yahoo.
5. Google decided not to allow adsense ads on this site - owner says this is on account of some content in the posts made.
6. Alexa reports that 25% of the totla traffic is from US, and shows a pretty consistant traffic over 6 months.
The forum is in an attractive IM related niche.
Your views and opinions will be of great help.
Thanks for your ineterst.
