There are some other factors as well which affect the price but most of the time you dont get more than 10 months.
If you get 12 months revenue, you are lucky.
I was speaking about real businesses here and not turnkey sites, so I misunderstood you. I think that will answer all of your statements from what you posted.

ALL but one....

For these, you need cash, a lot of cash. And that is what i said in my post. If you don't have cash either produce a great new concept or come back to adult shit.
Do you really need a lot of cash to advertise? I've been in mainstream before in 2001 before I found adult, some of my advertising campagins did 400% on $200 dollars! THe key with mainstream is that you will not always make money direct in your hand and see a 100% or more profit. You'll have to tweak your site to make sure that it converts. But most importantly of all is that you have some high class backend products to sell to people that have bought from you before..

You can compare it with direct-mail where you can get a 1% ROI on your money on a 1,000 mailings but when you roll out the backend to your excisting customers, then you see the money roll in and your ROI is suddenly 80% , see what I mean?

Sorry my english is bad.

Goodluck!
