Feel free to reply to this post with questions, comments, ideas, partial bids (only for domain / software / members database) or ridiculously small bids (maybe we have a solution for your needs and budget).

IABU - Date Romanian Girls & Boys Online - Live Video Chat Dating

DOMAIN NAME
IABU.COM is a great domain name, 4 letters only including 3 vowels, easy to pronounce in all languages. The iabu.com domain was registered in 2004 (4 years ago) : age improves customer & search engine trust.

Value: Most 4 letter .com domains are already registered, including the ones hard to pronounce. There are 20 000+ results on google for 'iabu': Google iabu . The domain, could be sold for $100-$500 without considering backlinks or indexed pages.

SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION
Included in DMOZ : Open Directory - Search Results
Google PR: 3
Google indexed pages: 1300+ site:www.iabu.com - Google Search
Backlinks: 7700+ IABU backlinks
The website is linked from many romanian directories, start pages, related websites. These links are hard to obtain without good knowledge of romanian language.

Value: Reaching PR3 and 7700+ indexed backlinks would take about 1 year and $1000 or more.

MEMBERS DATABASE
6400+ confirmed (of 9300+ registrations, most of the rest can also be reached by newsletters and converted - sometimes registrants forget to confirm or lose emails in bulk folders)
7900+ profiles (singles + couples: 2 linked profiles/account)
2800+ profile pictures
18 000+ internal messages

Member source: registrations only. No members were imported, purchased or mass invited. Most members are romanians living in Romania or other countries and people that want to meet romanians.

Value: How mush would cost a list of 9000+ dating targeted emails? How much would cost to get 6400+ members to join a website? And how long would this take? Cost per signup is usually $1 or more (if you pay on adwords only 10 cents per click and consider a 10% visitor to signup conversion - which is far from real). That's $6400.

VISION
+ Matchmake boys and girls with foreign website customers that want to marry or date romanians (similar to russian brides business model).
+ Recruit translators, local guides or party friends for tourists that want to visit Romania, the country of Dracula.
+ Sell translation services, airline tickets, hotel booking for customers that want to visit Romania and date romanian boys and girls or want to invite romanian boys and girls to their country.
+ Recruit models from Romania. Sell membership to agencies, photographers, model hunters.
+ Recruit romanian performers for video chat websites.
+ Open dating agency offices in Romania and add managed profiles (many romanians ar not computer literate: huge untouched dating market). Use local newspapers, fliers and posters to reach new people and have them send pictures and profile details by postal mail.
+ Organize dating events (speed dating, private parties in local clubs) in Romania.

Why are we selling?
Our romanian partner is busy with some short term projects and doesn't have enough time to invest in this one.

After purchasing the website you change the software or redesign... meaning we can sell only the domain and members database: leave/update your offer and we'll contact if we don't receive a better one.
