Appreciate the feedback. Obviously disappointed but like your honesty!
What is my site worth? Official thread!

Hey MeatHead,
I have an adult niche site that generates recurring revenue of about $5,000-$6,000 a month currently and growing. Site launched April 2013.
Costs are $6 in hosting a month. All organic SEO traffic with no paid links or any extra expenses. Pretty much just sits there and makes money.
Any thoughts on a selling price and any suggestions on where to list an adult site for sale?

I have a website that generates between $500 and $700 per month. It's about 2 years old. It sells online reviews at a huge mark-up so there's only about $50 per month in expenses.
Traffic is all organic.

Wrong thread, but when I used to sell a lot on Flippa in the <$1000 range (years ago now) bonuses were always useful.
At the higher end of the market, "bonuses" wouldn't make any difference and if anything would cheapen the sale.
Adult sites are a difficult market, I take them on from time to time. If the revenue is recurring I'd need to take a look more closely as that will work in your favour. It is not very old, but that doesn't mean it won't sell. I couldn't really give you a number without getting more details, though.
What reviews are you selling? The valuation would depend on the niche and the amount of work involved.

Google+ business reviews. It's a market that's growing in sales a lot.
Twice per week I hand the URL's over to somebody else to review for me.

That's not really true for us, either.
When we say the sites go for 20X, that's 20X monthly net profit. We'll deduct costs like hosting, content costs, paid traffic (when present), etc. Also - we take an average of the last 3 months earnings. For AdSense sites, they typically (but not always) have less costs than others types of sites which is why it's closer to 20X monthly revenue.
We've sold eCommerce sites and I can tell you there's no WAY those sites are going for 20X revenue! (especially for low-margin dropshipping sites!)

These are really hard to sell. I don't take sites like this on anymore so I don't know what it would be worth.
Yeah, that's why I mentioned that the "revenue" multiple he got from you was likely the case for niche Adsense sites (which often have low overhead, as you say) but not for most others. I've heard others on forums talking about a multiple of revenue rather than net profit so it does tend to be an industry wide misconception, unfortunately.
One thing that sellers almost always misrepresent (in my experience) is with the SEO costs of Adsense niche sites (or most sites, for that matter). It's very hard to figure out what a seller has been spending on SEO/links - in reality, I believe the costs of running these sites to be far higher than many claim.

Hey Meathead.
I've a question for you but it's nothing really to do with valuing a site. You seem to have a lot of employees working for you full time but don't have all that many sites for sale. I've always wondered what they do during the working day! Sorry if this it too personal or an intrusive question to ask.

As we are brokers, so we don't do hundreds of deals a year - we're not Flippa that rely on quantity rather than quality. In January we sold over $1.5m in sites (think that was 14 sites) so that's plenty to keep the brokers busy! We also have a decent portfolio of sites ourselves so half my team spend their time managing those.

Just giving you my opinion, which may or may not be accurate. I'm sure there are thousands of other 10 word shop domains that haven't sold, too.
Would need to look at more detailed financials, but likely something around the $50k range based on that information. The niche might be a little problematical, but maybe not a major issue at this end of the market.
