I've always kicked around the idea of selling Tubalr, if anyone's interested shoot me an email(cjstewart88@gmail.com with an offer. - URL: http://www.tubalr.com - Age: 3 1/2 years - Cost to run: $9 - Registered Users: 28,009 - It's been wrote about on sites like mashable, techcrunch, fast company, the next web, etc. .. it's been on the front page of hackernews and reddit. Google for "tubalr" to read around the web. -…

I remember when it was first posted on Mashable. It was a great site, that I remember. I'm very suprised the traffic died down.

Greaterskies, http://greaterskies.com - sells posters of the sky, thousands of stars and all the planets as seen from a place and at a time. Selling PDF ($24) and printout. Seems to be getting popular as a wedding present, also for birthdays. Common lisp backend computing the posters, Python and Javascript for the rest. Very nice conversion rate, but I haven't found the time to work on improving the number of visits.

Quick note: on the homepage, bottom left:

"But isn't this like any other start chart?"

I assume it's meant to be 'star chart'...

I was a developer/founder once. I partnered with another developer, and we made a tool that would track the ranking of your site in regards to certain search terms, to a.) figure out whether your SEO guy was worth the money, and b.) figure out which SEO tricks worked best. We weren't really making any money ,so I sold out my half of the company to a business guy. My former dev partner then went on with the business g…

Seller beware, yes, but I also think developers with ideas to sell are a dime a dozen - without execution to make it successful/profitable business ideas by themselves are not worth much.

How many uniques per day do you have and what revenue do you get monthly?

http://truerobin.com Private Group Classifieds. Facebook groups are increasingly being used for private craigslists, but they are not well-suited to buying/selling. There is no search, no alerts, and are very time consuming to manage. Built with Rails 4, Postgres, Resque. Got it to a functioning point and then had to switch gears to other clients/projects/work. The plan was to charge individuals for the tools (search…

http://www.learnpython.org + the rest of my tutorials I generate quite a lot of revenue for them from ads (about 500,000 hits per month), but they have so much potential and I don't have time to invest.

Hi - looks interesting. Can you forward revenue last 12 months and what you think it's worth
