    Say you have a service website (doesn't sell goods, but rather services. Leads are generated through the website and the owner woudl have to meet w/ the client to close the deal). This website ranks anywhere from the #1 position to the #4 position for atleast 6 major industry keywords on all major search engines (google, msn, yahoo, ask, etc.). Has thousands of backlinks, PR5, alexa rank of a little under 100,000. Leads are between 2-4 a week. Services if sold per lead can amount anywhere from $1000+

    Site also would come with a phpbb forum with over 900 members and over 14,000 posts.

    Site got about 5,000 uniques this month and about 200,000 hits.

    Anyone have any suggestions on how much I could sell this website for?

    This is hard to determine without seeing and analyzing the website. How do you make revenue off the site? How much per month? You say the service provider will take the lead and make the sale, that is worth something to them, but how much is a lead worth?

    Maybe if you put a url people would have an easier time telling you.

    It's the site in my sig. www.eWebDevelopment.net

    Site ranks for "NJ Web Design", "New Jersey Web DesigN", and some others.

    Brings in about 2-4 leads a week. Obviously the buyer woudl have to close those leads.

    Link to forum is also in my sig - it's on the same domain.

    Leads are for a full web design. Prices I sell are usually between $1000 - $4000. Obviously it woudl depend on the developer etc. and what they are comfortable charging.

    Not very marketable to those outside of the area. The forum itself is the only value to most buyers.

    If you are considering closing your business, your best bet is to approach your biggest competitors to see what they will offer for your business.

    The forums could be pretty valuable to people here. Having traffic stats on forum would help value that.

    If you could move the forum to a different domain and redirect traffic to it then you could have two sites of value. One lead site to sell locally and one forum to sell to whoever. That would bring in the most money.

    Agreed. I think the most valuable thing to a buyer would be the traffic and the forum unless they were specifically interested in a web development company and for the SE rankings to count, in New Jersey.

    Still I think you could get a fair amount for it 5-10k wholesale in my opinion.
