    Now That I have your attention:)Alright so I'm a 15 year old kid making some pretty good money on the internet for my age.

    I have a website that brings in about 1300$+ with zangocash through website streaming videos. So this isn't something that will last 3 days , that revenue will last minimum 6 months and that's without adding new videos.

    It isn't a professionals website. It's mainly to run my world of warcraft server which brings in about 300-500$ per week , although I doubt many people know how to run one so do not take it into consideration.

    The zango page are simple , after the gateways there is a link in the middle of a blank page saying " download blahblah... "

    If i wanted to sell my website , how much is it worth? Don't count my world of warcraft private server , just zangocash earnings.I would also give my youtube account so he/she can manage the videos.

    If it involves copyright protected videos(TV shows, movies, comedy clips, anything questionable), nothing. If your website has been making a steady $1300 for atleast 6 months, you might be able to get $10k for it, but I couldn't give you a definite answer without seeing it.

    Finding someone who sees the value of your site will be tough. Also, Zango has a bad reputation, which would make finding a buyer even harder.

    Put the site up for sale auction style and see how much you get.

    How long have you been making $1300/month with it? And what guarantees it to last 6months? These are just some of my inquiries. Like Afitch says Zango doesn't have a perfect record so that might decrease the value, but depending on how you can guarantee it to make that much for 6months effects it's worth. I don't think I would even consider selling something that's bringing in that kind of income though. Just my $0.02

    website posted, ive been making it for 2 months , subtract a day or two. Youtube videos dont just lose 50% of their views over night so this is why i say at least 6 months. If a video on youtube gets 100 views today , it will probably be 100 views tomorrow and for the next couple of months unless you have something getting picked up by the media.

    Did you read YouTube's policy on using embedded videos for generating advertising income?

    Honestly, if I saw this for auction I would think it's a scam. A 15 year old making that kind of money and wanting to get rid of it? My arse.
    Also the type of site it is I wouldn't want to buy it, but guess thats personal choice really.

    Yeah? Link me to the proof?

    If that is true then I guess it backs up my point a bit.

    Lots of factors to consider. If you have been making 1300 a month consistently for at least 5 or 6 months and there is potential to make even more I wouldn't sell it for less than a years worth of profits if I would sell it at all. Thats over $15,000. But that means the ability to prove the income to potential buyers. Your site is only worth something if you can prove performance. That's my opinion but I've only ever sold one of my sites.

    if you are making good money...why are you considering to sell it? i would keep it to make more money...maybe you might not be able to find a decent buyer...

    Putting up a video into a blog story is ok, but when your content is mainly a bunch of videos, that is when you can run into problems.

    Running adsense on any page which has copyright infringement content can get your account terminated.
