Yep I've even heard buyers paying 2-3 years for very large sites <3 unique daily views and ad and donation profits minus server costs is a good estimate yea?
it all depends on the quality of the site ,well established sites sell for 10 years of its net or grossing profit. while crappy ones will sell per monthly income that is to vague to answer way to many things to consider.
Yep im starting to realise this. Ive had some relativly good offers but nothing that has made me prepared to part with it as of yet.
Yea i just hate those valuator sites they are not accurate. It depends on geographic area of your visitors, page rank, alexa and the depth of your niche, if its a membership site it also depends on how many members you have.
Geographic is mainly European, though traffic comes from over 140 Countries. PR = nothing yet. Alexa 151k, Depth = Specalist. Members.. Coming up to 31k, not bad for 2 months
you would charge them by the average a site has in revenue per month multiplied by 12 if there is no revenue then the amount of potential you think it may generate
Is up and down revenue wise as its still new and getting established. Just hit 2 months. Have since taken in another $160 in advertising.
They sometimes use three ratios: 1. A multiple of annual revenue 2. A multiple of audience 3. A multiple of profit The best approach is to make a buy based on the profit. It's like buying a stock of a company on the stock exchange. A price to earnings ratio of 15 means the stock is priced at 15 times the profit. To put it another way, if you spent $10,000 on a Web site that produced a 1% profit, you would be better off putting that money into a CD instead. Also, two to three times annual revenue is not out of the ordinary.
I did advertise the site on DP but have since (hopefully) found an invester for the project i was trying to raise funds for so if so the site wont be advertised for sale anymore anyway. Its hard to tell with a site thats not established and my offers have varied quite a bit as a result. Edit: Have just got onto page one, 2nd from bottom for a keyword with 44,600,000 results
for huge site : 1. Targeted traffic. (country, area targeted). 2. Niche. (Cnet all about gadget, Amazon Book) 3. Income. (profit from AD, Product sell most important).
