    Hi

    I started a new hollywood celebs wordpress BLOG around 20 days ago and now the stats are:

    - 3500+ uv daily
    - almost 10k page views daily
    - site got indexed in G in less than two hrs and gets more than 30 hits from G daily.
    - site ranks well in G for a couple of keywords
    - has around 500 HQ images (size around 250 MB) and I upload around 20 images daily.
    - I work daily for ONLY 1 hr to generate traffic
    - no silly bot traffic. It is all genuine traffic.
    - REVENUE: $2 per day from adbrite (adbrite was installed 5 days back)
    - one can sell links and ad spots to easily earn $200 per month from this site
    - this site is kind of adult as many times the images are very revealing!
    - current alexa ranking 796,456 but 1 week average ranking is 66,114

    what do you people think. At what price should I sell this blog for?

    Actually I am a computer engg and will be joining a reputed company very soon so got no time to work on this site. I already have two other blogs to look after.

    Thank You all

    HOPEFULLY I AM NO BREAKING ANY DP RULES. IF YES THEN PLEASE LOCK THIS THREAD AND PLEASE DON'T BAN ME MODS. I LOVE DP :)

    Would buy it for probably $250-300. And I actually think you invest way too much time in it for that.
    Why? Simple. It's a blog, you make $60 a month. For a new site and everything no more than 5 times monthly earning.

    I do see the same potential that you do, but as long as you do not earn $200 a month from it you can't sell it for more than what I've said.
    That's how it works;) You sell actual value not imaginary :p (wonderwonder).

    If you really wanna sell it, go ahead and fill some ad spots, sell links etc. pimp it up while working on other sites and then sell it in a few weeks for a grand or more.

    He said his blog is more or less adult + images and adsense never goes well together :-/ But yeah Adbrite is waaay down the food chain would advice you to monetize your site otherwise as well

    You should try a couple of CPA offers on your site, some revenue could raise the possible sales price from $300 to $900.

    Couple hundred I'd say. If you are making $2/day + ad spots, you should keep it up... couple months (if it keeps up at that rate) you can probably make a couple grand from it.

    It really depends on the buyer.

    I wouldn't value it at anything, because of these two facts you mentioned:

    1. Makes $2 a day.
    2. Work 1 hour getting traffic.

    So, what you're selling is basically a $2 per hour "job." If it make $2 a day and ran by itself, now we can start talking. :)

    Not sure about you, but if some potential client asked if I was interested in a project that paid $2 an hour, I'd pass.

    And I never, ever pay on "potential" because the work done to realize the "potential" would be mine, so why would I pay someone else?

    Of course, keep in mind that I'm a shrew, successful businessman. Most people (especially here) don't even begin to value properly. Just tell them that you get thousands of visitors and make $60 a month and that you want $XXX.

    I'm sure someone will come along and pick it up. :)

    Good luck

    what I think people didn't note was I installed adbrite some 4-6 days back and I am earning $2 per day.

    Just to inform you all yesterday it was $3 per day! I am sure I can touch $4 per day very soon....dunno if I will cross that as I am new to adbrite...

    About adsense - Cannot use AdSense as it has adult pics..

    Thanks all for your replies

    I have been facing this wall again and again..

    I guess I will sell 10 link ads for $10 each and 4 125x125 ads for $15 each and that will bring earnings to $250 pm...

    then will sell the site for no less than $1500 :)

    thanks again for your time

    that was surely a cool post

    even I would pass a job which pays me $2 per hour :) You must notice that the site is new. Once it grows then the working hour per day comes down as you get some regular visitors too. As I wrote above adbrite now is bringing $3 for every hour :D

    I think I will work on the site till August end and then sell it for around 1.5k to 2.5k

    Thanks again for your post. Shooting you a PM :)
