    wont happen..you wont get anywhere near its value in cash..

    too many variables even for a new owner..better to just hire a manager and outsource your posting to iwebmasters..

      Last time I talked to the type of people who would be serious buyers you were lookign at one year of gross as long as your expenses weren't outlandish, and this was 2 years ago or so if I remember right. Putting someone who produces their own content at 10-11 months due to expenses.. However he does have a great deal of equity in the content as it is unique.. I would venture a guess of 15-18 months of net revenue.

      Then you have to consider the fact that the head of the company isn't there any more - It would be like Bill Gates selling Microsoft and not having any further involvement, you better have someone awfully damn relentless to take that place with more business savvy than the prior owner.

      Should be interesting, GL with everything Steve.... There are companies out there that will buy w/o a doubt but I don't think you'll like the figures you see whne it comes down to the nitty gritty.

          I know someone who does.. but i doubt he would be interested in buying..

            I commend Steve for being honest. His stuff has been front-running for years.

            If you retire, are you going to move to Sun City?

              Have you ever thought of something stupid that you DIDN'T post on GFY? Last I heard, Gary still can't afford to furnish his house.

                Yeah, I always wanted to drive around one of those little golf carts, but not to play golf...

                                Go public with the compagny ... manage it for 2-3 years and slowly sell your shares.

                                  Steve, I wonder if you only plan on selling the entire lightspeed program as a whole, or would sell off some of your sites individually as well, if the offer was right.

                                              So if someone offered $20,000,000 would you sell it? Seriously?

Lightspeedcash is currently having its strongest year EVER, and we have several new projects in the wings that will propel us even further.

                                                  Lightspeed is a team of loyal people, and a legion of great affiliates. It will always be "Lightspeed" even without my involvement.

                                                  But it's happened people cash out and move on starting other ventures with there name and knowledge with a industry. My

                                                        Well first of all if Steve did sell I doubt anyone would hear about it for quite some time. Part of the deal would probably be him staying on for a year to make sure the ship is on the right path, then one day he would just come out and say.

                                                        "Hey I sold Lightspeed a year ago and everything has been operating fine and dandy under the new ownership/management so see ya later".

                                                        That way the affiliates that make a large part of the traffic equation would not be running for the hills as soon as Steve said he is leaving Lightspeed and some new company is coming in.

                                                        Steve runs an incredible company but I think it could still operate and be profitable without him. He's got a good team there and a solid base of traffic from type-ins, SE and affiliates... Fuck I bet even without the affiliates the traffic base is so large you would still make a killing.

                                                        Anyways just rambling on here, good luck with the sale Steve. If I could afford it I would buy you out

                                                            It's going to be interesting to see this happen more often in the next 10 years. The internet is still so young. There will come a time when many established program owners want out... to retire. Will most pass it onto their kids, hire management to run it, or sell.

                                                                                          5 million at 6% return (which is a no brainer) is 300k per year.

                                                                                          I'll take that all day long.

He hears the footsteps of the DOJ in the distance and he know that a huge program like his is going to be a target. If these guys do come sweeping down in the next year or two he would not get shit for his company. Right now he still has a chance. I wish I were in his position.
