domain Game Website appraisal $NP for appraisals

[CrazyOldGoat]

Hey everyone,

Game - Joint . com

I do not plan on selling this website but I am interested on how much it is currently worth. It is a google pagerank 2 (predicted pagerank 5), is top or on the first page for many search results in google (e.g. Fifa Street 2 videos [and many other popular game videos/screenshots), it is Dmoz listed, in the iwebtool directory and hundreds of other directories and also has had an alexa ranking of around 100,000 the past few weeks. As for stats, it seems to be recieving around 2,000 page views a day.

What I would like to know is:

- How much you think the website is worth
- How much you think a fair advertising price would be (to advertise on Game-Joint [468x60 banner])

I would like this info in a Private Message if possible and I will send around 10-20 np$ for everyone who appraises it.

However, I will only send the NP$ if the appraisal is sent through Private Message.

Thanks everyone,
-Benod

Very nice website

In its current state definitely high XXX to low XXXX. A lot depends on ad revenue as well so if you can/are making it into a good earner, it'll be worth more.

There's little point in me making a guess-timate of possible revenue. It depends on a lot of factors (traffic, avg user time spent on site, number of return visitors...)
Try finding a few similar services and ask what they charge.

Also, I'm not going to PM you because I'm not doing this to earn NP$.
This is a free B33R service

Donated both of you some NP$. I did ask for PM's but it doesn't really amtter all that much. Also, I gave you some NP$ B33R, even though you didn't ask for them as you gave an explanation and seem like a nice guy, lol.

I have recieved some more appraisals through email and sent out NP$. Keep them coming. Thanks

I think because of the '-' that kind of ruins it a bit domain wise, but as far as the site is concerned it seems really well done. I love the site with all the detail and screenshots for the games. If updated weekly and if it has the rank you say it does on google with 2000 visitors a month, with the appropriate ads, you could make some good money on advertisements. Since it's already developed, I agree with the $1000 range- $xxxx

I don't rate the domain name much, but a developed site has value.

What kind of traffic does it generate? How many resgistered users?

I think that you should focus your energies into making it a more commercial offering. Start selling banners. They will not make you rich (unless you have a lot of traffic) but will you're suggesting potential buyers that there is money to be made.

Also, add an 'About us' section explaining who you are (don't mention you're a bunch of kids doing this in your spare time if that is the case ) and what your objectives are. Some kind of mission statement, I guess. I would also include information for potential advertisers. A media pack, for example.

An one final thing... lose the splash screen. It serves no purpose and probably doesn't help your search engine efforts.

Out of curiosity, what CMS do you use?

I agree get rid of the splash screen.

Well let's really take a look.

1. Bad domain with a hyphen
2. Site content is all new.
3. PR0
4. Layout is nice
5. Forums are dead
6. You have NO CONTENT...your news and reviews consist only of screenshots.

Sorry but this domain and site as-is are value of about $100-$200 MAX. I personally would only want your layout which I wouldn't pay over $100 for. The rest is trash and worthless.

Dmoz is the plus point. I think the website is worth mid to high $xxx right now. Will be worth more once PageRank increases and traffic is more consistant. Also try to keep your forums active.

That DMOZ listing is not impressive.

I love your website, but I don't think $xxxx is low enough . I'd say around mid $xxx right now. The main put down about your website is the dash in the domain name, and also the phpbb forums. Doesn't look very good with the skin.
