Suppose I have a blog with 100 articles ( 500 words each) and all 100 articles are indexed on Google. No revenue from the site. What will be the price of this website that it will easily sell for?
 
0. sites with no revenue won't sell easily. Even having organic traffic won't indicate any value. People who buy websites regularly will always look at your revenue first.

But this doesn't mean you can't sell it, you can but not easily. You will have to convince the buyer.

How are fresh created websites being sold as packages sold on BHW? Like, someone creating a fresh affiliate site or site with informational content for AdSense monetization being sold here? I see responses on such bst showing interest. These sites being sold do not even have all posts indexed.
 
0 if the 100 articles with 0 traffic. The site is a already dead. Might as well start over.
But if the site is sold as adsense ready someone will buy it get approval and if it's adsense monetized then it may sell for as much as 500$.

I agree with 99% of your takes.

The only thing that I don't agree with is the $0 part. Even domains sell for at least their buying price, a fresh website (even without revenue or traffic) could sell for at least $20-30...

But that's just me nitpicking, mostly you are right: sites do need to have (constant) revenue in order to sell :)

OP: from experience I can tell you that you won't get more than $100 for that site, if even that. If you sell it to someone who knows SEO you'll probably get $50-60 at most, and only if the content is good. But 500 words is too little IMO, but maybe you find someone like me who absolutely dreads and hates creating content, so being pitched a website with 100 articles sounds like a good deal to me, especially if the price is right (I would gladly pay $100-120 for such a site had I still had interest in SEO). But I'm not sure how many people are like me, so you'll have to search :)
 
There’s not really enough information to give you a decent answer.

Non-monetised sites can still sell but there’s a few moving parts

Is the Domain name and extension valuable? I have bought website before just for the domain name.

Domain Age

Some people like vanity metrics

What niche it is in can effect the price

Traffic, traffic source and quality.

Quality of articles

Can somebody see a way to make money from the site that you’ve missed.

Have a look around at sites that have sold and see how yours compares

So the price of 500 words manually written content is only $1 in your opinion now?

that's what I'd be willing to pay, so yes. It might hurt you, but hey, I've got calculations to make, too :)

I can understand. I cannot scale a business unless what I am selling is profitable for the buyer.

yep :)

But (and I think that I've said this previously), not all buyers are like me (conservative), so you shouldn't feel compelled to price your products based on what I say. That's what I would have paid had I've been interested in your website, but in all honesty, this doesn't mean that others won't pay more if they see value in your products, or if you can negotiate a good deal.

To achieve what? A higher valuation for the website ?
 
Valuing a website is a complex process, and different buyers may prioritize different factors. It's common for websites to be valued based on a multiple of their annual revenue, but other factors, as mentioned above, contribute to the overall assessment. Professional website valuation services or consultations with experts in the field may provide more accurate insights based on the specific details of your website.
 
Get the website adsense approved and sell it for around $500 on motioninvest.com. I see other new websites doing that there.
