Digital Point Worth 5mil?

I was just lookin' around and then I got bored... So I went to Leap Fish and looked up sites like... Google.com

Then I looked up "forums.digitalpoint.com" to see how much DP is worth and I couldn't believe my eyes it is worth a stagering 4.8 million dollars...

Wow thats crazy here is the link to it...

And they think "google.com" is worth 898.5 mil...

Thats crazy...

really 5 million? is it too much?

 

Maybe it is - depends how much someone is willing to pay for it.
I'm not sure about $5m, but I think in the millions is a better way to put it.

 

Leap fish never works too good. Everything I have had rated with it is way over the actual value. I would say this site is in the mid xx,xxx

 

To be totally honest that kind of link is a bit like them shitty text in for the "sex of your baby" adverts we get in the U.K, i.e completely random.

DP is a great forum and no doubt worth a load of money because of it's reputation but take 5 mil with a pinch of salt.

For example, one of my sites www.bookmethatnight.com turns over a fortune a month and it was valued at just $331

At the end of the day the old adage still holds true as Geoffrey just said, a site is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

 

This thread had been started by someone before also.

Frankly leapfish scks.

 

I would say in the 1 million... No less... This Forum turns over $10'000 a month, thats $120'000 a year...

Even is it was $99'999 a person that bought it would earn his money in no time and reap the benefits like crazy... A million is a good figure although a company may buy it for more if they think they can get more than $10'000 a month...

Leapfish is a piece of inaccurate crap. I wouldn't believe anything it spouts out. But yeah, DP is probably worth a few hundred thousands.. that's my guess.

 

it's not worth 5M if you ask me, maybe 1M at max

by google.com you mean just the domain, right?

 

Leapfish never worked well....

 

I'd say a lot more than $5mil. Leapfish gives a rough figure based on PR and Backlinks not on revenue or traffic which this sites has a lot of

 

Does anyone know what criteria the Leapfish site uses to determine a website's value? I know it looks at backlinks and PR but how does the site then come up with a value and why is it usually insanely high or low?

 

Yah it's just the domain name... Although that will create a shit load of traffic to the site... And google aint gonna sell their site any time soon...

No way DP is good but 1-2 mil is a lot...

Not so sure... PR has to do with it...

5 million for DP no way, not even 1 million, unless some one gets real desperate.

 

Pagerank has a lot to do with it, pagerank can make a domain worth hundreds or thousands more!

 

Don't under estimate DP... It gets home $120'000 a year...

~Sheen91

 

With a million one can easily build as successful forum as DP. Also usually its 12-24 months revenue that gets paid for a site, not 120 months!

 

The BBC.co.uk is worth over a billion dollars.

Take that Google!

 

True, but i think DP can make much more with the right proportion of adverts, not much really currently, can earn up to $30k a month I think and I know, probably about 300k-500k now... However if more ads come up it can be worth a million because of revenue...

I think DP is worth atleast 1 million dollars. This is certainly one of the most active forums out there.
