[BUSINESS] how do you value a site you want to buy

[vroomlinks]

This business is not going as well as I thought, making blogs waiting for traffic is not happening, I want to buy some blogs with traffic, what do you base your price on.

[TheButcher]

ask for the sponsor paid stats for the past 6 months for a start.

[jag]

Do you know the seller?

[fantastico]

Income growth potential is what I look for

[kuprum]

it will show the status from webcams, which (with high probability) will only grow (in statistics).

However, you will have to sweat to get a new customer base...

[koster]

what a buyer and you agree on, there is no magic formula to pricing a website or domain.

Bingo that is the real answer

[vblogger]

Traffic,sales numbers, domain name value and age of site

[TheButcher]

Traffic,sales numbers, domain name value and age of site

That sums it up

[urbanlegend]

The money it has made is a good indication for me. But I look at the expenses too.

[monsta]

Never bought any site over $900 and it was usually based on the domain name I wanted so I paid whatever to get it.

[DanielGrola]

Price has to be based on income or else why pay $1,000 for a site making $1 a month.

[tacnet]

I dont know how accurate this is but we were approached a year or so ago by a company who wanted to buy tacamateurs.com

Their rule of thumb to value a site was between 15 and 18 months turnover for sites doing $10k to $30k a month

Not sure how that scales up or down ? I guess big branded sites like pornhub, xhamster etc would want a lot more than that

[Big MOE]

Huh and I thought sites sell for 6-9 months income good to know.

[tacnet]

Huh and I thought sites sell for 6-9 months income good to know.

I guess it depends on how long a site has been around and how much brand recognition its got

Although how you quantify that god only know lol
