A day... 100,000 minimum for the site and you have to tell us how that traffic comes frm PR and more.. Give us more info.
Personally ... if the site has no problem: - No dirty tricks to get traffic - No hidden problems. So if its cleanand if the forecast of traffic/income was to maitain i would not sell it for less than 6 months of income: 30'000 * 6 = 180'000 USD But to make a sell like that i guess that you have to make a really good website and show great proofs of revenue and where the traffic comes from. You have to open the game and show it all to "real buyers", otherwise no buyer would ever buy it.... But thats just my opinion.
It depends on how long your site making $1000/day and what type of site you have. If your site has good history and future potential, it could fetch 400K to 500K. But without any solid background, you would not get much. When a site make $100 for 2/3 months, it is easy to sell it for $1000/1500. But when people invest big money, they do research and make sure they can make profit from investment. My opinion, the 12 to 18 months income rule does not apply for high earning sites. It is more of niche, future potential, authority, content, SOE etc. Those make a site more valuable.
There are very FEW sites that make $1000 a day. You really mean a day, right? You need very high hundreds of thousands of visitors a month, and millions of pageviews in order to make $1000 a day. Seriously, only a few sites achieve that. If you do have a site like that, I don't think its a really good idea to sell it. But due to the rarity of such high earning sites, I'd price it at $500,000 - $1000,000.
Depends on a lot of factors, niche, maintenance, etc. Also it depends how much the buyer is willing to pay for it Find the right buyer and you could get 1+ years revenue for it.
You should keep it untill it is bigger - then sell it for $3,000,000 because if you think about it - a multi millionaire could make a lot of money out of it. And you could. I wouldn't sell it.
You should get 10 times monthly income for it technically. But no one would sell a gold mine like that
I never understood the 10 month rule for selling websites. Why not just wait 20 months and earn double the profit (usually more as the site ages)? Provided earnings have been constant for a period of time.
This idea work when you are capable of making another site with the same income in 3 to 6 months. For example you have a site makes $100/month. Instead of spending your time on that site, you sell it for $1000 and work on another site. In 3 to 6 months the new site will make $100/month. You are making more money this way. I hope you get the idea...
The only decent answer i have got is dont sell it. All the "10 month rules" and "18 month rule" answers have no business standing whatsoever. Let's say the site is operated by 2 people, and requires very little maintenance. If it is returning $365,000 a year with very little expenses it would be valued at arounf $4.2 - $4.6 million dollars based on a return of about 8%. If anyone you guys have a site making $1000 a day for sale let me know so i can buy it from you using the " 10 month rule" or "12 months worth of earnings" rule that you refer to. Time to start learning business basics guys before you even consider making money through adsense.
