Selling a popular article directory. Any advice?

williamstarrett · 05-20-2009, 01:02 PM

I would like to sell my article directory because I've been too busy with other projects to really take it to the next level.

Any advice on selling it?

It has 15,000+ members and 200,000+ articles. 15-50 new members join per day. 50-400 articles submitted per day. A decent amount of traffic. Alexa Rank 31,673. PR 3.

I haven't come up with an asking price because I think an auction style sale would likely be best.

Where do you think would be the best place to list it? Thanks for any ideas or advice as they'll be truly helpful.

I would definitely take a look at sitepoint.

Sedo is a possibility...also have a look at the domainer forums..DNForum and Namepros...I believe some of the high spending domainers hang out at those forums

DNJournal might give extra ideas, have a look at the sales/sellers

You can try sitepoint marketplace, it also important to know the PR of the site.

I am one of the paid members of ArticleManiac.com site and its been turned into a BS site...this is the link... articleant.com. So,,, if it was sold, why is the original site in all his promotions? Would never buy from this guy again.
