    Question How much of a monthly earnings multiple do you pay?

    I'm trying to gauge how much everyone will pay for a domain based on the monthly earnings? I've seen some people offer only 6-12 months and some people pay up to 5 years worth of expected revenue? Is there an industry standard these days that people will pay for a domain? (ie: domainname.com makes $50/mo, you paid/offered 24 months, $1200)

    Thanks in advance

    I personally do not pay more than 8-12 months...traffic is a funny thing.

    I know that some pay 3-5 years though.

    I'd say the standard is 1-3 years.

    I think the norm is 8 to 10 years.
    Otherwise most of domains will sell for peanuts!

    for generic .coms the price can go up to 10-15x annual revenue. The PPC industry only goes up and earnings increase steadily. This means that a person buying at x10 will get ROI in 6-7 years.

    For generic typos, i think prices are around 36 months of revenue and for TM typos the current standard is 24 months of revenue

    Excellent post and I agree with it all 110%. Infact you may see and should, more than 10-15 year multiple on a generic dot com if the name is great.

    All depends on the quality of the name, source of traffic etc.
    Anywhere from 6 months to 15 years+
