as long as the TRAFFIC IS THERE! if there is no Traffic the site is worth shit... in the neg colum.. you need to have the TRAFFIC affiliates to change over to the new owner.

you think a buyer has to do jack shit?? LOL! if it's not type in traffic or thousands of pages in search engines, ll's etc that aren't going to have referrers changed then there is NO SUCH THING as "the traffic is there" how many of those affiliates are there purely on personal deals with the previous owner or just good contacts the previous owner had? how many of them are going to jump ship to his next project? how many GOOD affiliates stick around forever and not onto the next hottest thing when their traffic gets sick of your sites?
A buyer takes on shitloads of risk and a shitload of work keeping affiliates happy and growing the site KNOWING FULL WELL the whole processing model could change at almost a moment's notice and acacia litigation is only a letter away.
It's not the late nineties. The sky isn't falling but it's not as high as it used to be. There would be very few sites that 6x monthly profit would be a good measure of worth unless they're in their first few months.
