closed happyslob.com Is it worth this much?

[ChristinaInCanada]

Hi all,

My husband and I are considering a move in the future and so I may at some point sell my main website at no advertising!. I make around $180 on it per month with Google. With ads in the newsletter (over 10K subscribers) I make around another $400, bringing the total up to about $580-$600 income on it per month.

What would this site be worth? It has a PR4 rating...gets 10,000s of visitors per month.

Is it worth $5000? $7500? More? How would I figure it out?
Thanks so much for your help!
Christina

Yea..... If its making atleast 580 a month, multiply that by a Year and you get over $6,000.

I would crank the income up before I sold it. Looking at your site, I see many ways that you could increase your adsense income...

 

[ChristinaInCanada]

E-Promote - I sent you a PM, because I'd be very grateful for any tips on how to make adsense more lucrative...

So, generally a site's value is calculated by how much it's made per month and then multiply by 12 for one year's income? I've heard it can be 2 years' income or more...


Thanks again,
Christina

Some people are willing to pay for 2 years or more, but that will depend on the site content and if it requires a lot of work or not. I know I am willing to pay up to 2 years income for low maintenance, high revenue sites... And I'm sure there are others who are willing to pay that, or maybe even more.

 

[ChristinaInCanada]

Awesome, thanks for the advice dragonhawk. I guess I need to work on the site to make sure it's maintenance free and a good investment before I ever sell...

I cant remember who it was but i stated 1 or 2 years revenue for valuation on a similar thread,the guy who posted it laughed and said "if you know anybody who sells it that low let me know as i pay 5 times revenue" problem i forgot who it was !

 

[dragonhawk]

What a bummer... I would've liked to know who he was also coz I've been buying all of my sites at around 1 years revenue. If I can sell it to him for 5 years revenue, then I'd be making an instant 500% profit

 

[ChristinaInCanada]

Wow - 5 times revenue! Hope you remember who that was...lol

standard for good site making over $50/mo is 24 - 48 months rev...BUT, I have seen payments as high as 72 months revenue for great sites, depends on the domain too and it's base value! YOU AS THE SELLER SET THE PRICE...write that down!

Eight times the annual revenue is not rare for domains that have low (natural) traffic but are high profile (dictionary) keywords.

 

[GiantDomains]

Not sure why the site name was removed, the domain is important to your question, and I don't see that this is an advertisement in disguise.

 

[aldwin]

I think that the domain could be really sold for 3-4 years revenue.
If ChristinaInCanada wants to know a couple of names willing to buy for that money, she only has to PM me.

Don't forget that the website comes with 10,000 newsletter members. If you choose your affiliations properly that could easily become a lot of money! I remember reading somewhere that if you are a good ezine writer every ezine member should bring you $1/month on average

I personally wouldn't sell an estabilished site like that for less than $20k.

 

[ChristinaInCanada]

Wow, nice quote aldwin! (Big grins here on my side... $20K would make me a very happy gal.) I contacted you via PM.

P.S. I would post the name of the site again, but I don't want to step on any toes. If anyone wants it, you can PM me.
