HI guys Does Smartpagerank shows the Real value of website? If yes, where to sell it? if no, on what basis does smartpagerank shows this results? Thanks for your time
no automated tool or a script can show you the real value of your site, if you want ask a few people in the market place about your site and see what they price it, then you sell it by what you think is fair
My blogs and sites are worth a total of about 1.5 million according to those value sites. I wish, lol
How is this relevant to directories? Sell your sites at sirepoint marketplace or DP BST forum. These tools measure irrelavant data like PR/indexed pages/alexa rank. I think they are only useful for checking a site, not finding its value. Sell sites based on their assets. Domain/design/content/intangible assets like branding, returning customers. Then consider the sites profit and come to a thought about how soon a potential buyer could recover what they spent on the purchase.
Auctions are always better than fixed price. You can set smarpagerank price as a BIN price ... no tools are reliable tough.
As some have said there are many variables, in the real world, a business is mostly valued on net return and or turnover then a multiplier added. I dont see a direcory much different, your gross or incoming may be say ( ex only ) $10 K, and your operating costs may be say $ 5K after everything is done. leaving a $ 5K return this may have a mutlipler based on say 2 years so the asking price would be $10K ( the mutiplier can vary and would depend on the current business, is it a fire sale, where is the market going, what potential is there for growth ) From what i have seen so far there are some common factors that play a part in directories, they a views PM ( if you look at the current 3.5M job it is very similar in VPM at around 3 M Also I see submission $ as a factor and have seen average months subscription X 10 ( but have no idea why this is used ) in that your subscription $ may be high but if operating costs are also high the effective value must be lower and is where net profit comes back to the main factor I currently work where we turn over .5 - 1 million $ a week, this sounds good but the operationg costs to attain that are high, so a business turning over say 300 K - 600 K but with lower operating costs may be worth more to an investor as it has a better net or return on your $
