Popular Fansite - 2000 uniques a day

[CeciliaH]

Hi gang
I have a highly popular amy lee (of evanescence fame) fansite - and I'm curious as to what I could possibly get for it.
There's an active forum (744 users) a gallery and a news blog.
I've slacked off for the past lil while - only changing the layout. However I'll be getting it updated again - the news blog that is - shortly.
The forum continues to be active without the news postings anyways.

Traffic - Consistantly getting around 2000 unique visitors a day
GoogleAds - Consistantly getting between 1 and 2 dollars a day.

So - anyone know the ball park figure I should be looking for?
Thanks!

if your looking for an appraisal on an active website ... post/show the link, so we can review the website.

You should be looking to get more from the google ads then that with that type of traffic, my www.davidbeckham.ws gets around 400-500 uniques a day and averages 2-3 dollars a day on Google.

Anyway, with those stats I would suspect it's worth a bit regardless of if it isn't making much, if it's a good domain then be worth more but with those stats, a active forum and active site behind it the domain isn't too relevant anyway unles it's a good one.

If you want to increase the AdSense revenue you should probably integrate a leader board ad between the header and the body. I would also recommend placing some AdLinks towards the top of the navigation bar. I think that doing both of these things would help out tremendously.

If I would have to put a value on the site I would say between mid $XXX and low $X,XXX based on the information you provided.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do with it!

It's worth more then that, I dont like to put figures on things but with those type of uniques and a active forum I would be looking for more then that. If it was mine I'd personally not let it go cheaper then 2k.

I sold sites for mid XXX before which is no-where near as good as his, it's worth quite bit more then that IMO.

Mid $XXX's was my low end evaluation. As you can see it goes into the low $X,XXX's. You also have to consider how much longer this person is going to be as famous as she is. In my opinion she doesn't have much time left but I very well may be wrong.

Thanks dr domainer for the advice.
I was trying to be unintrusive as possible while still having them when i set them up originally.
are adlinks through google? or some other ppc engine?

I also tend to run skyscrapers on the right (of forum sites we manage) and a leaderboard at the bottom (centered)... but we don't get good CTR with that setup.

Yes, Adlinks are a new ad format within the Google Adsense program.
