How to price a site?

Discussion in 'General Business' started by devin, Jan 28, 2007.

    How do you guys determine how much should a site sell for? can you give some rough example figures? i don't need statements like "it depends on your site's revenue and PR." the existence of a small forum community?

    Usually the price is based on the revenue times x months. Depending on the potential and sustainability of revenue, I've seen prices from 3 to 24 months revenue.

    I determine by my site traffic. If my site pulls quite a lot of traffic per day. I will sell it high.

    A site normally sells for 6 to 12 months of the monthly revenue. I have sold new sites (no traffic) ranging from $50 to $300 (just in case you need to grasp some figures). Good luck :)

    The price is usually based on the revenue times 10 months! So if you make $10 monthly you can sell it for ~$100!

    probably the dumbest statement i have heard all week

    are you talking about html source?
    or the php scripting behind your site?
    if you have a unique and useful php script... then it may be worth something

    The most common numbers I've seen are 10 months of revenue. I think that is low for a good, viable, and growing online store. Brick and mortar businesses sell for much more than that.

    I'm not so sure on sites that have no revenue or generate most revenue from ads.

    It's actually calculated on the last 10 months. Not one month by 10, but the last 10 months of NET income.
    A site bringing $1000/month for the last 10 months with an advertising of $950/month has a value of $500...
