I do not own the website - if I did I would not be asking on here ! I am going to built a website using the same niche and was simply interested so that I can retire in 10 years
Go to this site and put that site's name and check yourself: http://www.dnscoop.com/ That will give you a very good idea !!!
@jb: First off, I'm assuming you mean the $$ value. To answer your Q... well, it can't be answered TO determine the worth of a website, it depends on what exactly is your service/product, market, target audience, the trends, forecasting and developing a business plan in regards to a time frame of 1 yr., 5yr., and 10 yr. ... so if anyone could make a very uneducated guess, more details would need to be shared, if possible. However, my advice is to research sites that have 250K members, see what their success has been from when they started to today... and from their make your own conclusions. From experience, community sites and basic social media sites are what make the most $$... but again, it's all not clearly determined in regard to "value". My advice is a business 101: make sure your site has a service/product that someone wants/needs. If you can provide that service/product effectively within a site, then the next step is to build a community that not only has people coming to your site, but staying there for a long time. Hope that helps
Traffic is also very important. Members don't mean anything if they aren't active. For it being 10 years old, and only a PR5, it might not be doing incredibly well. I mean DP and WHT are PR7's. My mother's site is PR4, but I don't know a whole lot about PR.
DNSScoop does not takes into consideration the number of users... it just takes factors liek siteage,links,pages,alexa rank etc Since the site you are mentioning have a large user base, you need to take some apprximation for them e.g $1/10 users or so...and then add that to the value given by dnscoop.
hahaha DNSscoop will give you a stupidly inaccurate figure its just for fun never use that for a serious value of your website or any other site. Now this answer can not be accurate, considering there are many other factors to take in to account such as earnings, traffic, active members, members joining per week, backlinks, search engine positions and a hell of a lot more.
The price is depend on a lots of thing such as member base traffic active member base PR backlink etc
I think it depends on how much profit it is currently making on and its future profit ability. Hardly any tools can compute accurately the value of a website.
It's not how many users you have. It's how your website monetize those users' activity. You can get a rough idea from your cash flow.
Sites like this are a joke, and so are anyone who would even recommend them seriously. There is a REAL WAY to value internet real estate. It's been written about many times, and you can find it doing a search.
Not really... They value certain factors and *if* those factors are spot on for your site, the value is accurate. We tested Cubestat with a lot of sales and it for a category of sites (sites that value members and traffic) it is accurate and in a lot of SP sales even exactly what the BIN was/is. But no, it doesn't work for all sites, for instance, sites that sell expensive products products to a very small niche are not accurate, but that is logical; no way to find that from analyzing a site. But you cannot find that out in person also except by analyzing the company. Which is difficult. So can you throw it in Cubestat for fun then?
Sure. I am always up for comparing some of these sites and seeing just how far off one is from the other for shits and giggles. Maybe I am just used to dealing with the higher end sites, not the BST $50.00 blogs. No offense. I have yet to see a higher end site, making good money, that is even close in any of those tools. Some are very high, some are very low. But, in fairness, I look at a handful of sites that meet what I am looking for. So I am not comparing hundreds of sites to work out the mathematics. Also, I deal in rebilling, and membership sites. Websites worth more than the rest.
So what was the result for the 'high end site' ; if 250k members, it should have serious traffic or all members are sleeping? Meaning some interesting amount should come out of the traffic oriented versions of these estimation tools, right?
