Thanks for sharing

He's got to be jocking, £250,000 ... but then again, it depends on his turn over, I am assuming he will be selling the business behind it as well.

 

[seonotes]

Probably this one is one of the largest sale if happens at sitepoint marketplace!

Fair possibilities! John Scott also used to own the BlueFind and SevenSeek web directories and sold them too.

Well, lets see how much it goes for, but this makes me wonder how much DP is worth?

I assume DP will be more costly probable above $1000,000 deal. DP is more active than V7N [IMO]

This was the 10 000th congratulation Temi!

v7n is a great forum but doupt that it would worth that money. We should have a look into the bookkeeping

Is there any descriptions where these numbers are generated from?

I mean is it ad sales on the forum, adsense clicks or something else?

As per John, Web directory accounts for a large part of the income. Advertising also brings in considerable income.

I think those are ad sales, just check the whole v7n network. They have many banners there, but no Adsense.

If I was going to part with quarter of a million quid, I'd need to see some reciepts. Even if it meant flying to Japan (I think he's based there) and seeing them access his account, and double and triple checking.

Trust me, if I had that money to spend on a forum, I'd want to be sure before parting.

Another thing that v7n is for many "John Scott's" network...

Many advertisers and members will be gone if it's sold.

New owner will have to work hard to build the name for himself if he expects to keep at least part of current business...

I don't think that is true, the network is very well established, in the early days what you said might have happened but not now.

That is also probably his turn over, one will need to see the expenditures and how much of this is profit.
