How much is my site worth?

[nmr86]

Hi,

I have a Blog that generates $ 40,- a month at this moment.
It is pagerank 4 and gets more than 10,000 visits a month with more than 21,000 page views

If I want to sell it. How much will it be worth?

 

[elecktricity]

Most sites rank it by monthly revenue * 10. in your case making $40/month youd times that by 10, so an estimate of $400+

but a true value is only what somebody is willing to pay for it, some might be willing to pay more or less depending on the site ect.

one of my sites makes 30 per day.... that doesn't mean its worth 300000

 

[guames]

$30/day is amazing! It then equals to $900/month and people usually make a BIN for 10 months revenue. It would equal out to $9000.
nmr86 if you want to sell it now I would suggest you sell it for $400. But there is also some questions you have to ask yourself, does it have a unique design? Will you be able to keep on providing content for the site after it's bought until the buyer gets a hang of the content etc...

I hope this blog by Avi (owner of Plime.com and Worth1000.com) will change the way people view the value of websites. Let me know what you think.


Best wishes,
Kimmy

I hate to bust any bubbles floating around here, but untill you have a serious offer for your web site, it's worth nothing.

Despite of all the fancy algorithms used, value is determined (not just for web sites but for all goods) by whatever whoever is willing to pay for it.

How can you sell a blog anyway? Unless you continue writing for the blog and just hand over the revenue to the new owners. Otherwise when you sell it it's not your blog anymore, and I presume your writing is what attracts the visitors.

interesting read. this guy's a great writer and his "theory" was well explained. i love this idea of a website having its own orbit, and it's definitely a web2.0 thing. i wouldnt be surprised if orbital theory becomes the standard of future social networking sites, although i get the feeling it already is implicitly.

Very well stated and I agree wholeheartedly. When I read the blog a short time ago it truly made me think of web development in a whole new light and I’m currently planning several websites with that in mind.

good link slaughterback, interesting read.

I am also confused on how you can sell a blog. surely, you make all the profit yourself (by posting on it). once you sell it, will you keep writing (and therefore keep the users visiting), or will you completely hand it over?

I dont know.. I was just asking :D
