    For example, how much a website having a alexa rank of around 100 k fetch ? What are the other factors that will influence its selling price ?

    Alexa rank factor is useless IMO. There are so many other factors one needs to consider. For e.g. BL etc.

    To sum it up value of the traffic + value of the content + value of the domain .

    You take the amount that someone is willing to pay for your site, and that's your site's value.

    I fully agree with the previous member. Forget about every "bot" that could tell you that your site has value of $123,456 ;)

    Agree with you on this as those sites are useless.

    To make things simpler, I follow this rule: what you earn on that website per month x 10. Simple nuff ;)

    ^What about BL, PR, what if it goes with some youtube/fb accounts. That's still traffic for the customer.

    Cubestat.com is pretty decent to find out a site's worth. I wouldn't go down the alexa route for such purposes.

    monthly revenue x 10 is pretty much standard for calculating a site's net worth.

    i use this method:

    If im selling i charge 24x its monthly net profit

    if im buying i look at the domain the site age what it ranks for and its net profit then i will offer 4 months of what i think it will make ME when i run it.
