Not really much. Its not the name or the site that makes it work, it's the knowledge, sweat, hard work etc... that makes a site suceed. Stop worrying about what some other site is worth or what other webmasters are making and Kick Your own ass into gearOriginally posted by Rod

in fact -- physically -- those sites aren't worth more than the worth of their webdesign ($0.05
) and their script(s)...
for the rest it's an aircastle - no content, no customerbase (with contacts, trackrecord etc.)... nothing...Comment

Strategically, you might think of them as being real estate in an extremely good inner city location with lots of traffic.
You put up a shitty selection of goods in your store, people won't come in and buy.
When you try to sell your store/site traffic is a big argument though. So I'd say they're worth a good deal, but if you buy one of these sites you may burn a lot of money quickly if you can't keep the visitors coming.SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.Comment

so true. the physical assets are worth very little. it's the ideas/experience/knowledge that give businesses of this type value.Originally posted by kuwawawah

i've been sort of looking at selling off a paysite + traffic. but all the offers i've got always include the stipulation: 'we want you guys to run it for 120 days (or even longer) and slowly transition it over to us during this period' type of thing.we'll miss you our friend. RIPComment

That's soo true a statement it hurts. What works for one person more often than not FLOPS for another. Most businesses - good will and brick and mortar - have to be sold over time to someone worked into it for it to work properly. My financial pracrtice was sold like that , otherwise you get pennies on the dollar of it's value and everything you've built to date crumbles.This dog, is dog, a dog, good dog, way dog, to dog, keep dog, an dog, idiot dog, busy dog, for dog, 20 dog, seconds dog!

when it comes to business, alot of luck also helps, there must be hundreds and thousands of webmasters started back then that are not here today.Comment

not going to deny the luck factor, but an old sales manager of mine had a saying.........
" The HARDER I work the LUCKIER I get."

It depends how much money those sites net each year. There must be a standard % that is used to figure out the value of the something, based on how much it earns.Comment

thanks but the point being, it is extremely difficult to sell an adult internet company for anything close to brick and mortar - lots of risk, relatively little physical assets, major dependence on employees (knowledge-based).

kuwawawah... I used to be a 'what if' person until I met this old man. With my ex I thought we took risks on stocks etc. I now know I was only kidding myself. ANY business you buy into as an investment is a gamble. Just look at Enron and others that have folded as well as all the dot com failures.
If you need to work with the tangible asset type of business to ease your mind, you'd best tuck tail and get out of the net. You'll have heart failure. I know *I* would have the first year we were in this biz wayyyy back before most of you were out of jr high. lol But my current old man laffs at failure and plugs on.
We may not make tons like some but we can live a nice life. I let HIM worry now and I keep my what ifs to when we talk about the court cases on the tv court shows. Yeah we're addicted to them and have the free time to watch them thanks to the net. BUT he started online work in 95.
In 94 when I met him I was with my ex, holding a nice portfolio of stocks thinking I was on top of the world with 2-300 bucks tops of monthly dividends. Hah! I let the ex keep them and now I alone make 3 times what the ex does after being a top exec for almost 20 yrs. lmao But the ex is a 'tangible' person as well. Gamble and win some hopefully or stay safe and make that steady income. And if you lose? Try harder or run.
