How do you value a website?

temi · 02-02-2007, 04:38 PM

I just read in the website for sale section of this forum a dating site for sale for $50,000 . I wonder how websites are valued by independed experts rather than website owner.
Website owners tends to think their site are worth more than they are actually worth.

There are no rules. Offer and demand, dear...

Chart Music · 02-02-2007, 06:02 PM

Supply and demand. Anything is only valued at what someone is willing to pay.

inovartis · 02-02-2007, 07:58 PM

Still, Uniques per month and profit will have some weight in the value of the website.

darkstar_tfd · 02-02-2007, 09:25 PM

I think that the value of uniques per day and the payment from adsense program are the main factors that sell a website with a price or another.Also the value of the website is also given by the domain in which this site obtains that number of uniques daily and that profit.

I don't remember the exact formula, but I saw this at a Web Convention:

For Larger Sites:
total price = 3.5(total time it took you to make everything)/2 + profit a month x 12 + uniques a day / 5 x |pagerank - 10)

For Smaller Sites:
Freeball

Or something along those lines, just remember to include all of those values and come up with a fair price, yet competitable to your market.

That program generated high prices for sites. For example :

http://www.mariuskl.com - 649.00 $
http://www.ozami.com - 21,250.00$

Have you tried it , people ? It looks interesting , but still this sum are very large.

That has an odd formula, yaxal isn't up and is already worth 600...

It would be worth a lot more if your site wasn't in flash. It uses a formula that includes number of pages, and length of content. Since your site is in flash, the only factors applicable to you are pagerank, length of domain, revenue, and visitors. IF a real person was writing values for these sites, you would see different numbers. Your site would probably be higher because of the buyable content and the fact that it is created in flash.
