Updates & Announcements - Petchat for sale

Post subject: Petchat for sale

Unfortunately I have never been able to give petchat the time it deserves to grow it, but I have had to make a decision after owning the site since July 2004 that enough is enough and its not fair to you the members.

With new owners hopefully the site will flourish and grow.

information for potential buyers:
Petchat is No.1 & No.2 in Google for the phrase "Pet Chat" and No.2 for "Pet forums"
Petchat has been running coming up to 4 years now
Petchat has 2800+ members
Petchat has >3500 pages indexed by Google
Google has 248 inbound links to Petchat

Petchat is easy to administer even for those not too technical buyers as it has a complex back end administration gui which runs all aspects of the CMS (Content Management Software) that it runs on

There are plenty of opportunities for monetising (Just none that I have used)

If you are interested in making an offer then Contact Us via Email or on 01395 446208

Does this forum earn money from advertising

only Trivial amounts from Google adwords, I have been approached by many businesses in the past but have turned them down as they all wanted to advertise pets for sale which I do not allow.

The site does have an automated advertising system built into it though that can take bookings etc and payments for adverts Smile

Personally i think petchat is perfect just the way it is ive never really liked change anyway, but if you know longer have the time cant the moderators or other admin run it for you, i think its the best site on the net thats how much i love it and id hate to see someone change it to something its not.

Good luck for the future and i support your decision but hopefully its not changed for the worse. Wink

just out of interest how much does a site normally go for?
