This is my first website. I would like to know an estimate value for this site before make decision to sell it or not. Would appreciate if you could give an estimate value based on data I provided. Income for this site is averagely $1000 per month. This site using 2GB of diskpace and 400GB of bandwidth per month. This is a desktop customization website. If there are serious buyer, please make an offer by pm me. url is www.osx-e.com Traffic Details for past few months. http://my.statcounter.com/project/standard/stats.php?project_id=1918922&guest=1 Notes Sorry about the dmoz listed, seems like they already removed it for some reason.
It would depend on the outgoings. If you do zero advertising and the only expenditure is the hosting, then I'd say the site is worth around 10K, obviously if you are spending a lot of money on advertising, it is worth considerably less.
You could roughly value it at 8-10x monthly earnings, that might give you a guide. Would also depend on the source of traffic, source of revenue and nature of the site. I'm guessing with that bandwidth its a proxy? but that seems like pretty big revenue.
url for this site is www.osx-e.com I do not spend anything on advertising this site. All traffic are consistent since 2 years ago because this site had featured on some of major websites like engadget.com, cnet videos, lifehacker, few computer magazines, and including Attack of the Show tv program.
I'd edited the first post to provide more details. Please tell me what else you need to know in order to evaluate it.
Revenue details, awstats referrers, how much time per day to run the site, how much coop does it produce, do you point it back to the site?
for referrals, you can check it here http://my.statcounter.com/project/standard/stats.php?project_id=1918922&guest=1 Total coop weight is about 30,000 and I do not point it back to the site because I'd rent the adspace for somebody else. Site is not updated daily, only when there are new file submission from visitors or there are news on desktop customizing or mac os x. Here is the breakdown of revenue details Adsense - $200 - $300 per month Coop - $350 per month Feedburner - $150 - $300 per month Kontera - $$100 per month Direct Link Ads - $300 per month Value Click Media - $50 per month And there are few text link that paid for 6 months, selling it for $20 per month.
You can also get a valuation based on pagerank, traffic, domain age etc like this: http://www.smartpagerank.com/result.php?domain=http://www.osx-e.com/ and yes I know you can't use this valuation as an asking price because they are always slightly inflated to actual market prices, so people please don't start post ing about how these type of sites aren't any good! I have just given it here as an example in response to the OP.
A lot of people rate the value of websites on the last 6-12 months profit. Personally I price stuff on how much work I've put into it along with pother factors.
hey, care to elaborate more on this? Most people seems to value it by 10 times monthly income but you value it around 3 - 4 times yearly net profit. Apart from the cost of dedicated server $159.90 a month, this site doesn't have any other cost at all.
8 months worth of your NET income. (Meaning if you are spending half of the $1000) on advertising then you would only do $500 x 8 = $4,000.00.
I have just sold a site with similar stats and it went for 9,000 so i would guess that would be the same range for you.
