Official Thread - How Much Is Your Site Worth?

[meathead1234]

NO way someone is going to sell you a site for 10x its monthly revenue. In ten months you will have your money back and after that you are just banking basically forever. Who would be stupid to sell at that rate. At the minimum I would say 3 years or 36x monthly revenue.

What experience are you basing this on? This thread is for valuations and not expressing your opinion on "stupid" people who sell sites for reasonable multiples. And find me any site that will "bank forever".

What reality do you live in? I haven't seen a buyer pay 36x monthly revenue ever. . . But it would be nice.

He lives in the reality called 'real world' where businesses do sell for 3 years revenue, and often for much more.

That said, it's true that with most websites 36x monthly revenue is considered overpricing (around 10-20mths being the industry average), however it's most definitely not a rule of any kind as I've personally sold sites for both 5x monthly rev and over 50x monthly rev - it all depends on the specifics of the site, the niche and its potential, and most of all on finding the right buyer.

In conclusion, the only 'correct' pricing is a figure as high as the customer is willing to pay - be it 5x, 12x or 200x the site's monthly revenue.

We're not talking about businesses here. We're talking about small to medium sized operations.

Got some stats for each mate?

 

[bryanon]

Yep, this one's virtually impossible to answer without any further info. Take a look at this post to get an idea of what kind of details we need before being able to valuate your sites.

Would love it if somebody could give me an estimate for my site All info can be here: http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...-selling-ebook-shop-estimate-appreciated.html

Very much appreciated!

You won't get much on flippa or dp honestly. You have low traffic, no revenue, and your domains have hyphens in it (extremely unappealing to buyers/branders). I would say 20 - 40$ for both sites together and that's being optimistic.

Thestrangefruit

The hyphens should not hurt so much. As long as the site gets traffic and revenue.

From my experience, domain names with hyphens have actually given me better results as it gives me a broader search to include my primary keywords in the domain name.

With all the domain names running out, hyphens give you another shot at getting your desired domain name.

The domain itself might not fetch you much, but the domain if used for a site and monetized correctly could do wonders for you.

Hope this helps...

Fruit's post was referring to the DESIRABILITY in terms of resale. Regardless of SEO being similar across the two there is no denying a non-hyponated domain is more desirable when selling. If the site already had a ton of SE traffic then your point would be easier to argue with a buyer. Same goes for .info domains - SEO wise no difference, but no-one wants to buy them.

First post, yay me... I would like to these sites valued if possible... not too much data on the traffic since awstats isn't the best...

pornology69.com (traffic about 80 visits a day)(somehow pr2)(tgp site turned autoblog)
bootypeek.com (traffic about 300 visits a day)(somehow pr1)(tgp site turned autoblog)
newartstyle.com (traffic about 150 visits a day)
thecartraders.com (traffic about 230 visits a day)
video-game-deals.com (traffic about 100 visits a day)

 

[meathead1234]

Revenue?

 

[kingxgamer]

not much really, just clicks but google ads are being ignored still and my porn and video game store are getting 50+ visitors a day but them cheapos dont buy ...

 

[meathead1234]

Porn sites - never sold one, I'm afraid, so couldn't give you a price.

Other autoblogs: not really worth much. Depends how good you are at selling. Between $20-200 on Flippa.

 

[kingxgamer]

Yeah I thought so, guess I'll take a chance with one of those blogs and see if I can accomplish anything and if I do I can write an ebook about my rise to fame

Thanks for the thread man..
I cannot give you much details. But I have a wso site that made profit in the first month. I don't want a evaluation for how much it would sell for because I don't think it's really worth anything.
I would however like to ask you how much should I list it for?
Stats:
$250+ net profit in the first month
around 20-30 UVs daily.

I like to be transparent so I would describe WF as the only source of traffic but would that be considered a major drawback for the site?

Hello all...

Just found this thread.

I own www.crushthemicros.com. It is a branded PR2 website that generates a dozen or so uniques per day and ranks on the first page of Google for several dozen microstakes-related poker terms. I'm currently maintaining it with some auto-content and occasional manual posts.

The companion book on Amazon is No Limit Hold'em - Beating the Micro Stakes. It is a physical book that I wrote (no PLR stuff). The book generates about $150 per month in profit. The book (and site) launched back in February I believe.

I was thinking about selling the site and the rights to the monthly profit from the book.

Can someone more knowledgeable than me give me an idea of what I should expect for it?
