    I currently have a blog at the following address
    investingadventures dot com

    Right now my fiancee and I are planning for a wedding and as a result I may be forced to sell the domain. Here's the following info on it.

    Registration: June 2007
    Use: Currently a wordpress blog with over 250 entries

    Traffic details include approximately 100 unique visitors per day, PR of 3, Alexa under 350,000, Technorati under 60,000, 2000+ Yahoo Backlinks, and approximately 200+ Google Backlinks.

    Income from the website's finally trickled in with approximately $50-100 per month from sponsored posts, 7/8 sold text link ad slots @ $15 per link, and a small section for TNX ads which brings in about $7-8 per month.

    Curious about the value of the domain. I know the rule is normally 10 times your monthly income but it's the first month the blog's actually brought in cash to pay for domain registration, etc.

    Thanks!

    Nice blog, seems to have lot of growth potential, but unfortunately unless it is a big site people don't put much value on growth potential. I think you would be able to get low $x,xxx - mid $x,xxx depending on the type of buyer. I would advise against selling it currently, this one could become a serious money maker for you in future wih some more efforts.

    Thanks, I appreciate it. Now that it's finally bringing in some money, I'll probably have someone that specializes in SEO come in and help out. At least I know I'm on the right path. Thanks again.

    My advice would be not to sell it and keep working on it. Long after your honeymoon this site will likely bring $ home for you.

    That's probably the best idea. Thanks Pata/dman. I'll search the DP forums on how to increase the capacity of this site. I appreciate the help ;)
