If you're offering forum posts to people who launched a forum and want to make it seem active (it's almost impossible to establish a solid foundation without buying some) or if you're offering forum posts for SEO purposes, ForumPosts.com and ForumPosters.com represent the best domains money can buy.

I'd rather sell them as a pair but I'm also willing to sell individually.

PM me if you want to make an offer, don't post offers in this thread.

LOL, one of my Skype contacts sent me a message after noticing this thread and made an offer. He offered $750 for the pair, looking for more.

If you want to make an offer, PM me. Or if I'm on your Skype/AIM contact list, holla at me

$2,000 for both or $1,250 each if you want to buy one of them.

If someone who's been around for a while (I'll take the join date as well as the post count into consideration) ends up buying the two domains or one of them, we can handle the transaction without using an escrow service. Otherwise, we'll use an escrow company and split the fees.

The initial $750 offer was "upgraded" to a $1,250 bid ($1,250 for both domains), looking for more.

Lowering the BIN one final time: $1,750 for both or $1,125 each.

Last call, PM me if you want one of them or both.

$1,750 for the pair or $1,125 each.

If nobody buys them within 48 hours, the previously mentioned prices will no longer be valid.

No 1 will buy this for this much , even they start a website for forum owners post , they can invest the 1250$ in promoting it and in no time it would be the best website of the niche , instead of just investing it in domain

charlie.simm

Not quite.

If you buy the two domains, they're yours forever as long as you spend $8/year to renew them.

Do you agree that people are more likely to take you seriously if you own a domain like ForumPosts.com or ForumPosters.com as opposed to Best-Forum-Posts.com?

The long-term benefits should not be underestimated: better conversion rates, higher CTRs (people are more likely to click on ads if they see a premium domain than on ads which promote a crappy one), a higher sales price if you ultimately decide to sell the business and so on.

The "why buy a premium domain when you can spend the $ on promotion instead?" argument has been around for a looooooooooooong time and this much is certain: no matter what your promotion plans may be, a premium domain will always represent something that helps you stand out.

If you're in it for the long haul, the domain will pay for itself over and over again, especially since I'm selling for low 4 figs (I'm sure you'll agree that by buying both for less than $2k, you're not exactly spending a fortune). Asking the "domain or promotion?" question is a mistake IMO, a great domain complements an advertising campaign.

Nah , i just say , instead of investing 4 figures in a domain , we can choose a useless domain of the niche ,yet can build lots of back links etc and can make it on google top 10 easily with the 4 figure investment , instead of just on domains is my say ,

A domain is an asset and again, it's yours forever as long as you spend $8/year to renew it.

A SEO campaign, on the other hand? It's something you have considerably less control over, one Google Panda-ish update and bam, you're out.

Oh and let's not forget that if you own the exact match dot com, you'll be able to rank for the term in question without using overly aggressive methods (of course, assuming that we're not talking about an insanely competitive kw) because you have an edge... the guy who starts from scratch with a domain like I-Can-Haz-Forum-Posts.mobi doesn't

The result? You'll spend less money and, most importantly, won't have to worry about being the first site owner who gets raped after a Panda-ish Google update.

I'd say they were good for branding. And depending on the service fees could easily make that back. oDesk charges around 10% and I often pay 100's of dollars in fees a month. Just a thought.

Seems like a small low dollar biz but good for someone.

It's not always about SEO, Branding is very important as well if you want to dominate a niche.

Exactly!

A good domain will always make things easier for ya.

If you want to rank on teh Googles, you'll be able to generate results without spending as much on links as the owner of Best-Forum-Posts-Ever.com and most importantly, without being all that aggressive. As a result, your SEO campaign will have considerably more long-term potential.

If you want to advertise via AdWords, there are LOTS of marketing experiments which make it clear that a good domain generates better CTRs and that by using a great domain, you'll end up paying less per click. The same principle is valid when it comes pretty much any traffic source.

If you want to negotiate deals/partnerships, people are more likely to take you seriously if you own the best possible domain for your niche.

If you ultimately decide to sell the business, it will fetch considerably more if it has a great domain as its foundation.

... the list could go on and on.
