How much is my site worth?

    I'm wondering how much it's worth right now. The forum isn't very active and that's why I'm not selling it yet, I want to boost the traffic first.

    My site


    The package includes:
    *The blizzard.cd domain
    *A unique skin
    *A button linking to the site is placed on the top and bottom of every page at www.hiveworkshop.com. ( A PR4 domain, http://www.wc3sear.ch, is owned by and links to hiveworkshop. The traffic from that domain is very targeted since wc3search was a huge Warcraft accessory database before it was overtaken by Hiveworkshop. The image link is on the top of Hiveworkshop permanently due to friendship with owner. )


    The site has: Threads: 1,245, Posts: 25,380, Members: 2,012, Active Members: 114

    PSD files for navigation buttons, posting buttons and logo included.

    Unique visitors: About 3,000 / month.
    Hits: About 480,000 / month.

    Also really depends on how much it earns you each month.

    Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work for my domain, probably because it's .cd.

    Are you sure it wouldn't be a bit more? Isn't the style worth about $100?

    Maybe I'm still new to all of this, but you say you have a unique skin. Looks like all your images are cuts from Official Blizzard artwork and products. I don't see anything anywhere giving Blizzard credit for visuals, is that even legal to sell? I don't mean to be offensive or disrespectful, but you just chopped up some other images and threw them together, which of course you did put the work into the style and all. I don't browsing sites that utilize official graphics, but it just seems wrong to try to include it in something you're trying to sell.

    @ Rhinn, Blizzard allow this, there are other sites that mass sell styles based on Blizzard's graphics. However, it is correct that I have yet to add Blizzard's copyright to the footer as they do. Thank you for reminding me :).

    @ goodmast3r, thank you for the price estimation. I think they domain might be worth more since 1 year for .cd domain is $65. What do you say to that? The style was designed by me and a friend :).

    I always consider .com is more expensive. I even don't know any .cd until now. Good luck with the website

    Based primarily on the domain name, I would say mid $xxx.
    Of course, having 2000+ members in the forum is quite the accomplishment, so the number may very well be higher.

    Good to know, I've wondered about that for some time now. As for the style, I haven't worked with vbb styles since 2.x so I'm not sure how much they've changed.

    Looks good overall though imo.

    Is there anyone here that is interested in buying this website? ( I'm not selling it, just want to know if there are people at DP interested in this niche ).

    Why not create an auction over on the BST section, state a reserve (keep it private) that way you will know what other members on here are willing to buy it for and who knows you might actually get the price your looking for and sell it after all :)

    People would probably think I'm just going to get as much as possible for it if I keep the reserve private but I guess I could set it a little over what is being estimated here and then see how high offers I receive.
    Can you recommend me a title for my topic in the BST section?

    I guess that means that the domain is worth $90 but may be worth a little more since renewal fee is $65. I would probably set reserve to $600, but you're welcome to make an offer through PM or wait until I post it for sale. Either way, let you know me if you're interested. :)
