Revenue details:
The Free Poker Forum offer’s a number of ways for people to advertise. I currently sell front page text links (right hand side) which go for $15/link per month. I also have footer banner and left side banner slots available which go for $30/mo. Also available are two 468×60 banner slots on the top-middle which I use for affiliate banners. The site has been bringing in a steady 1-2 real money conversions per month for the past 4 months via affiliates (With a CPA of $100-$130/sign-up). Also, many of the other webmaster’s purchasing link space pay by 3 and 6 month subscriptions. I have an excel file which includes every advertiser, their links, where their links are located, how many times they have renewed, when the subscription started/when it ends, amount paid, email, and more which will make this buyer have a very easy time renewing the subscriptions. Below I have copied some of the payments made via neteller and paypal from advertisers, as well as some of the statements from affiliates.

Description:
This was my first forum project I ever started. Im a huge poker fanatic and started the site to have a place to ask questions, share stories, find tips, and other idea’s to help improve players’ poker game. When I first started the site it was a bit tricky to get off the ground and running but for the past 7-8 months it has been getting better each month. The site has jumped pagerank in the last 3 update’s and continues to grow. I have been contacted by online casinos such as Party Poker, CDPoker, and Titan Poker to do things such as host freeroll tournaments for the site (at their expense) and offer me higher-than-normal CPA amounts for advertising their site. As a community, we have currently held 4 freerolls on Titan Poker (paid for by titan poker) and 1 freeroll on CDPoker (paid for by CDPoker). CDpoker is still going to back the site for at least one more freeroll (they will put up the $150 prize pool) whenever the owner wants to throw it. I will be giving the buyer the contact information for the affiliate manager’s at Titan, Party, and CD so he/she may contact them and discuss future plan’s with each casino. I have put a number of hours in on the site trying to make it a nice place to come and learn/discuss/read about poker. The main page is a PR5 with many PR3-PR4 sub-pages. The site is running a customized theme with xoops and the forum is newbb2.0. You can easily add new modules into the site such as games, chat, and other modules you can find at http://www.xoops.org. Hosting is also provided until 6/1/2007 if the buyer wishes to use it.
