what is a pr5 myspace resource site even worth?

[Connections]

Ok people I am thinking of selling one of my resource sites, im not a real big fan of this one and I am thinking of selling it If I can get the right $$$ for it...but I dont know how much to ask...

It's a PR5 one and it gets a fair bit off traffic, around 1500-2000 uniques a day some days more like on weeeknds and stuff...I have had days of 15000 aswell when promo's have been done.

This site it self was started in late may, and has been making decent revenue each month around 150-200 usd/month yet it has pretty poor ad placemnt and colour, I think the whole site needs a new script or sometihing.

probly 30-40 link exchanges have been done for this site aswell and the site even has some dude paying 30 bucks a month for his little advertising banner on it.

Positives -
*PR5
*decent traffic
*A massive lot of backlinks all over the main search engines,
*Heaps of people using the codes...
*Has its own myspace account linked to the profile which has had liek 3000 people add it off the site lol, which would probly be included in the sale...
*The site has a ton of layouts and a ton of pages, heaps and heaps of custom content that you would not find on any other MSRS.

Negatives-

Overall the site needs some general web design need to be done to fix up the site but this would involve copy and pasting a bit,
the site is semi-messy on some pages and needs a clean up...
maby the site could use a new script or something this could be effective.

Now how much would you say I should ask for this one.

I will keep my other MSRS's/sites but as I can work on these quickly :D

Reason for thinking off selling - I just feel like I dont have the time to fix up this one as I ahve to work on studies for marketing/advertising at biss college.

thanks people.

How much do you want for it and why dont you just change the script its running to a MSRS script ?

Whats the URL ?

www.myprofilepimp.net is the URL for the site in question.

as you can see the site needs some work to get it running nice, the design is not that crash hot.

reason I don't want to buy a script for it is, I dont want to have buy and site thats the same as every one else's...

I would rather have something different..this ones really different...

Just tell me how much you guys think its worth, if I see something decent offer I might let it go, if not I may aswell just leave it alone and make the money it is..

The sites also been put in around 1000 directories aswell...

but as for the exact uniques count on this site I would need to put a tracker on the page, the design is really dodgey I have tried to put a traccker on before and it pics up the wrong numbers. Check the PR on it but it deffiantly is a 5.

thanks

Advertising done -

*bulletins during may on various accounts
250k bulletin form some guy personal account,
300k bulletin from some guys personal account,
personal accounts, I have done a fair few.
*directory submission x 1000
*forum posts on a massive laod of forums, I just signed up to forums and told peopel about a few of my sites lol,
*forum hyper links on a fair few forums I post in just throw this in their for some traffic.
* youtube marketing :D a fair few links come from here.
* link exchanges look at the affiliates list on the site a fair few were done
* myspace messages to a large number of people over a period of time.
*then traffic gets in from random places aswell the list is endless.

but the thing is lately I havnt really been doing any advertising at all on this site recently as I have had other commitnments the revenue is still around 4-5 bucks a day off adsense with the poor placement mind you.

here are the stats for just content based ads, search makes up for around 1 dollar a day aswell,

[Connections]

so people after most of this info what is the price range I should be looking at?

The domain has 1.5 years on it aswell and its with godaddy....

just paid $50 for a big advertising campaign aswell for this site i will start in a few days...

I think the only things you could take from it as a buyer is the traffic and links - nothing visual. If you're suggesting it needs cleaning up, new design and a decent script to run it aswell as time spent on optimising ads (which I have to agree on all those points) then it's basically a new site. The content doesn't strike me as being worth very much, layouts for example are on the basic side.

I would be interested in buying it for the traffic, but the price would be effected by that as I don't think much else is worth my money, I expect others will want to buy the entire package, so there is no point me making an offer yet. Besides I'd rather you place a sale price before I make my offer. What is the right "$$$" that would make you sell it?

[Connections]

Thats the thing I don't want to ask something stupid I know this isnt worth much at all. I know the content sucks lol, I just picked this site up off a mate of mine he gave it to me for like 100 bucks ages ago I have done heaps and heaps of promo to get it to where it is now but. I suck hard at webdesign all I knwo how to do is buy scripts and modify them so I have no chance in fixing this one up. My expertise is in marketing, I am a full time student in it and work with it every day, I dont really know much at all about web design i only know the basics this is part of the reason why I am selling it.

I need advice on how much to ask people, every one on here seems to want to buy it and make it into their own site lol!!!

Ah right, I see, makes sense not to just blurt out a price then. I'm a inexperienced buyer, so I wouldn't know what to offer, so I'll maybe see what other people think would be a good estimate. I am aware it will more than likely be too expensive for what I want, which is just the domain's traffic.

[Connections]

ok tell me how much you guys would offer for it...

be honest now, dont try and get your self a bargin or something and rip me off lol :D

[piplewis]

I'm also inexperienced when it comes to buying sites, so have no idea how much it would go for.
I would guess tho that it's way out of my price range anyway.
Wanna swap it for a Tortoise? ;-)

Good luck with the sale.

You should be making more with that average traffic. If you don't sell, you should consider throwing a copy of MSRS up on there just to earn a bit more...you should be able to leave the old site running in the background and add on the MSRS on the front for new users (I might be able to help with this, if interested ;).).

Also, are you sure that traffic is solid? What stats program are you using to show 1500-2k uniques a day? Seems there should be a lot more clickthroughs with that kind of traffic. Maybe you are looking at the wrong numbers or using a stats program that doesn't work well with myspace sites...which would also explain your lower rev. You sure you aren't mixing up "impressions" with "uniques" ?

[Connections]

check the PR scilynt, the traffic is not picked up correctly becuase of the frames this site is designed on.

I am seriously thinking about buying a script that not many people have, I am not heaps keen on getting something that every one else has. But with a script I believe this could make more. How hard is it to even edit a script liek greg j's ones?

Atm the site makes 4-5 bucks just form the adsense text ads where they are, and 1 dollar - 1.5 dollars form the search bar.

So I am quite happy to just let it sit their, As I havnt done much promo for it in a while. but liek I said if I get a ok offer I will let it go.

thanks for the reply.

[Scilynt]

PR wasn't showing up yesterday...is it a new rank with the most recent update?

And I'm talking about your outgoing clicks...Not nearly as many as other sites with about the same amount of traffic. Either you have very sticky users/site or the traffic isn't there. I see more hits from my cheesy turnkey site with much much less traffic...

MSRS would probably be a good upgrade for you. What kind of ctr are you getting now? My initial guess is you could probably double your earnings with MSRS if you are getting that traffic and it's good traffic.

I think MSRS is a bit samey when everyones using it and so many people do, a couple handfuls on this site alone and probably more who don't forum here.

A great a script but sooner or later people will recongise it as the same, remember where ads are etc and not click them. Also I have seen a couple that look very similar in appearence, but one will have better content... well here's the bigger problem:

I would bet the average MySpace user doesn't remember your design in detail... he or she will surf onto your website remember roughly what it was like and that it had rubbish content... but they haven't remebered your site, they have remembered another MSRS site that was poor which they surefd onto a week ago. They have just got it confused with your site because they look so simialr... and they've closed the window and gone elsewhere.

Some of the people who have MSRS sites have layouts... some the layout links just goes to a layput generator. I can't remember which do and which don't... so when a MySpace user clicks your link or finds you on Google they'll open the page and think 'oh this site doesn't have layouts, I wante layouts' and once again... closed... gone elsewhere.

Obviously this isn't the case all the time with everyone who surfs onto a MSRS site, but it is quite possible which is another reason why I probably wouldn't buy it . Then again, I plan to run one website, many of you plan and do run multiple sites so it won't affect you in the way it would me running a single site.

PS: I don't hate MSRS! I *think* I raised a good point, please let me know your experience on this and your thoughts

If I remember rightly Greg had some sort of layout editor in the works, not for the layouts but for the site itself.
Depending on the editor you might (in the future) be able to make the sites look completely different from each other.

Ah yeh, I think I read about that in the DP forum topic that should be good if it does enough. Currently pretty much only the logos make many of the sites different, though they still look the same.

A PR5 MSRS is worth the **** stuck to the bottom of my shoe

What counts is RANKINGS SERPS TRAFFIC and REVENUE

PR 5 is a dime a dozen

PR6+ and we're talking

A Good MSRS should make $30+ a day consistantly with Adsense or YPN and get 5000K+ visitors a day. It should get alot fo traffic in google and rank well for some comepetitive terms. In addition it should have a PR6 or better and be over a year old so it is out of the sandbox.
