How do you know what a website is worth?

Is there any sort of model as to what kind of value a website (gay adult personals) might be worth?

I am looking at one for sale that been in business for 5 years (+) and has 300k members with about 35-40k traffic per day. Current revenues are clocked at about 45k/month

Ideas anyone?

Why do you want to sell if you're making that much cash?

he said he's looking to buy one, not sell one..


Alot of guys base the price off 3 months income.. That's probally a legit price range for a mid to small level site. It's hard to say, all I know is I'd damn sure check things out real well.. I'd want to see not only traffic stats but bank records and so on, if I was planning to spend that much.

There is no set formula or calculation as to what a site is worth.

The closest text book formula would be the present value of profits I guess. But you would have to factor in other things like opportunity costs and how valuable the site would be to you.

3months income is for a cj-tgp with a month existence
