Hello, I received a offer for my site and I'd like to know if you think is a good offer or I should ask for more. Is my first selling and surely I'll be too newbie. My site is in spanish, generic category (users writes about whatever they want). Lastly there are about 300k visits per month and about 900$ profits per month and it has about 300$ expenses (so 600$ benefits). I'm requesting 50k, but the buyer offer me 32k. I'd like to know if you considere it a fair offer or I should request a little more. The site is almost selfmanaged, only 10 minutes per day if you want moderate content. If not you only have to reply question in the forum, but they users already reply each others. We have about 15k unique articles (almost 50k comments) and 12k validated users. We don't allow link from our articles to outside (only links to wikipedia or similar informative sites). We have (according to majestic about 14k incoming links and an acrank of 6). PR 3 and almost 80% of traffic is from search engines, 15% referers and 5% direct.
I guess it is a very generous offer from the buyer. He gives you 3 years of recoupment. These are quite good terms.
General rule of thumb has always been a site is worth 12 - 24 * monthly earnings (24 for a long established site, good site). If you do the maths you will find your answer
I would say it's a generous offer From what i understand a lot of times people will determine worth of a website to be 10-20x it's monthly earnings (&other factors) Which is similar to the "General Rule" J.P. provided.
that is a very very generous offer and I would take it. If that is their first offer, they might have more room to improve on their offer. I have done it before where the first offer was too low, but we were able to meet in the middle. I am not saying to play hardball, but you could ask them if they can consider say, 35k
