    There is an online tool aimed to provide you an approximate value at www. websitevaluecalculator.com

    For a real value I'm not the expert to talk about but also depends on the buyer's motivation to buy your site. It might worth a few hundreds and the buyer may will to pay a few thousands or vice versa [​IMG]

    That tool is so broken. I get $2k/month income and it said my site only worth $103. LoL

    I agree. That tool is meaningless.

    I don't think that there are any good tools which can really tell your correct site net worth. So it is nice to use your imagination and other reliable web tools and methods to get your sites estimated value.

    if the site is making 100-200$ a month, you can generally take that times 10 to get an idea of your site value.
    so 1 to 2 grand
    and looking at the stats


    Threads: 39,835, Posts: 165,615, Members: 32,243, Active Members: 1,490

    and seeing this
    Currently Active Users: 210 (29 members and 181 guests and 3+ spiders)
    I would lean closer to 2 grand or more

    cheers

    Yes, this tools is more for fun time rather than the real thing. I have a very competitive adult-keyword domain registered five years ago and because I'm updating nameservers the site was not found by the engine and is supposedly worth $11 [​IMG]

    what do you mean bu used to be 1000+ but currently is 100-200??

    as far as selling is concerned some small blogs like one ryanshamus (I am sure the spelling is wrong) was sold for 2500 even though it had 90 RSS subscribers and was few months old...

    so it all depends on your luck...do some negative publicity and see the people bidding......

    DNScoop seems fairly good.

    www.dnscoop.com

    Again though like everyone's said what a site's worth and what you can get for it are two very different things. Same with everything.

    Refer to sitepoint.com seo guide..there is a computation on how to price a site... the thing above where I said around $15k is based on computation using sitepoint guide.

    dnScoop is about as close to accurate as website valuation tool out there, but in the end, it comes down to one thing: Your website is worth what the highest bidder would be willing to pay. Try to sniff out some serious buyers and see what they offer.

    damn i cant believe it. i checked my site in dnscoop and it shows $5,390,948 yet my site makes only $200/mon
    so i guess it is inaccurate.

    olddocks, try to add a little more ads to it - will make more, maybe. Probably you just decide to keep 1 ad, right ?:)

    thanks mate :) actually i dont want to hurt the readability in my website by putting more ads. that is the reason i could be earning lot less. i never promoted this site. it just took off :)

    are dnscoop results accurate? do you trust them?
