I may be making much adieu over nothing here, but somehow my Amazon product website which was just launched last week is number 2 on Google under an exact word phrase that has over 167,000 hits for the term and I'm guessing 700 or so sites. The one word product name has 2 billion hits & I'm guessing I'm not in the top 50% of those. My .Com domain name is a combination of the product name and another word. I haven't listed the name here because of a technical problem I'm having with it on Internet Explorer that's causing the pages to load to slow though it works fine on Firefox & hopefully will be fixed Wednsday. My site has a proper logo and everything and I'm wondering, without any established sales earnings, what are the chancesbecause of my #2 rank that I could sell the website at a tidy price right now based on future potential because of this rank or is that rank meaningless as its just "semantics" for lack of a better word?
It's too young and it hasn't produced any money yet. I am sure that it may be of interest to someone, but I highly doubt a "Tidy Price". It's not 1997 anymore, sale prices are based on production, not potential.
I agree with hmansfield, most of the time a buyer is going to start asking about revenue generated. Ranking is cool but buyers like to see that it actually earned some cash so far.
