    I wanna sell a FREE web directory related to blogs which i had started in Dec '07
    I have too many projects on hand, so not able to concentrate on this.

    I get around 5-10 submissions on daily basis,
    google adsense income is averaging $50/month (more or less)
    Page Rank 1
    good keyword rich .IN domain
    Uniquely designed template (providing complete rights)

    I am rather confused, so please suggest me the price i start the bid.

    Regards

    The reason that the url helps is things like site design and features will play into the value of a directory. If you spent $500 on a unique design that makes a difference. If you are running the basic free phpld script with a default template, it would not be worth a whole lot imo.

    If it is generating $50 a month, that's pretty good especially if you are not spending much time keeping fresh content there.

    PM me the URL, I may be interested.

    Thanks for the concern Swedal.
    The dir. is running on the latest version of phpld 3.3, but the template is not updated.
    It was designed while i started out with 3.2 ver.
    Sent you a PM!

    Regards

    Try 1k, if its got adsense income, unique design, niche, i think thats a reasonable request.

    And good luck with your sale, im sure someone will snap it up. :)

    Pipes, I'm not sure who'd want to pay 20 months worth of adsense revenue for a web directory...

    Well without the url i cannot say much.
    Make sure to get all the hosting charges you have spent. Say 10$ x 5 months= 50$
    Pllus count a min. of 1000$
    And your time in designing + the Pr etc may be 100$
    So an approx of 1500$ sounds good

    Im just thinking the buyer may see future potential in it and may have plans that could make it worth the investment.

    You can get the idea of the cost of your directory from here smartpagerank.com. Check the value of your website here.

    Let's be honest, I wouldn't take it for even $50 or less. It's very poor - in all.
    The 50$ from AS you mentioned must be in your dreams or wishful thinking.
    I can bet you have no more than 0-30 uniqes daily, and about NULL from AS.

    Man, there is too many people here who knows how things are, you should post it rather somewhere else.

    Thank you for your opinion dargre.
    I appreciate you being honest in this regard but the price mentioned above is from a raw tool and not precise, even i felt it ridiculous.
    Coming to the stats, my march stats alone show me around 10k unique hits.
    The adsense earnings i mentioned can be ascertained by the position of the ads on the theme and above all i clearly mentioned about this to the persons i sent a PM. The new owner might develop it to a larger extent since the dir. niche is quite popular.
    I am not here to deceive anyone, nor do business with false reports and i understand the fact you being an old and reputed member might have come across numerous fake offerings. I would rather post all the details when i list it up for sale.
