I need some money and might try to sell two of my directories: Website Directory PR 5 Bidding Directory PR 5 Since beginning of May 2007 until now I have had over 300 submissions including yearly subscription featured listings. That is over 1500 since May which comes down to about $500 a month... Now this is not an auction for my directory, But because I would do so, I want to know how much it would be worth? Thanks Nima
I'd say $2-3,000. Marketed right, those sites could make more than a thousand a month, so some people may pay more. Hard to tell. It depends on traffic and how much proof you show for submissions.
When I look at a site, I can't see paying more than the site has made in the past. 20 times the monthly income would be dependent on you having 20 months of income to show. Since you only have a couple months, you would only look to get that much as an offer. People don't want to pay what the site could make. That's just my opinion. I think your sites are very nice.
i have bought and sold over 100 sites,and i have never heard of 20 times monthly income..there are alot of variables to selling a site.One thing is submissons that are permanent is only good for you.new owner cannot get any real money benefits from this.But,if there is reoccuring yearly submissions,and with your PR,$2800 and up is not inconcievable..in fact,i may be interested if you ever sell
You could get between $5k-$8k depending on the motivation of the buyer. What is the breakdown of earnings between your directory and the bidding portion? Your fee structure is interesting, regular links are very cheap and featured are very expensive (relatively speaking of course).
agreed especially when its not a unique template WoW $50 ad space :0 and whats will all the gambling links are you asking paypal to ban you?
Nice Directory Worth holding onto till after PR update before you sell it. But if you do decide to sell it let me know when you decide your BIN price
I just put that ad space up. Anyone can replace it with Google Ads. Most of the links are yearly subscription. The $500 is just for the general directory. I think its pretty easy to see how much the bidding directory has made You could have saved your time and not answered at all Thanks for the input Thanks for the input I just moved to an out of state university for my last year in school. I hate to sell the directory. Especially given that it was my first directory and have done a lot of work on it. But I need to pay my tuition too
Directories are not like Adsense websites, Online stores and Affiliates websites, the revenue depand 100% on the motivation, promotion , time and Skillz of the new owner. personally with a $500 Budget i can make a directory pr6 by the next google update, thats because i already have the design and promotion skillz, so why would i buy a pr5 directory for 5k when i can have a new star for $500.. IMHO Unless a directory is very popular and have an ANNUAL RECURRING FEE, directories are not worth much.. may be worth the price of their Page rank..
Please list all the directories you made that make it to PR6 in one udate for a $500 investment so I can be the first to congratulate you. If what you are saying is true you will be a very rich person within the next year.
who said am not rich yet ? , (just kidding) i have 60 web directories expected to become pr4-pr6 on this google update, but iv already made websites (not directories) pr6 in the last update, i have special methods and unique link building ideas
I listed the directory for sale here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=405020 Again I hate to sell my directories. Some of you might be able to make PR6 directories in couple months and little effort, but I did put a lot of effort and time into building this directory into a PR5 directory and adding all the extra mods and features... Cheers, and thanks for the inputs..
