but do you think some people are willing to sell for only 2-3 months profit?

vixm · 11-17-2004, 11:22 PM

I'll give you $5.00.

I would buy a site that's currently profitable :: why sell if it's profitable?

NetRodent · 11-17-2004, 11:23 PM

How much a site made in the past is more or less irrelevant. The real question is will it continue to make profit in your hands? Don't think of it as buying a site, think of it as buying a business.

maybe the guy likes quick money?

if I have a site that makes 100$ a day and someone offered me 25k$ for it, I would probably sell it...

I agree with the above.

$95,000?

Double L · 11-17-2004, 11:34 PM

I'd likely be too skeptical. Even if you can verify the 100k a year, I'd have to see where the traffic is coming from. What if it's coming from the sellers other sites, you buy the site and he/she just sends all the traffic to a new venture... Leaving your new purchase worth a 7.00 domain and 100 bookmarkers. Depends on the site I guess.

I'd rather build fresh for far less money and invest the rest outside of porn. But that's just me...

true

If the traffic is all coming from his other sites I would sign a contract stating that he can't remove the links or the deal is null and void and you get all your cash back. It's a good way to protect your ass...

detoxed · 11-17-2004, 11:43 PM

Not a simple question at all. Impossible to answer without a LOT of info.

FlyingIguana · 11-17-2004, 11:44 PM

most likely less than what it makes per year. really it depends on the site, but most sites suck to begin with.

bluedevil · 11-17-2004, 11:46 PM

id have to test it out for a year first...

emthree · 11-18-2004, 01:52 AM

Well, there's tons of factors
-Will need raw logs and detailed stats
-Will need to allow a test period
-Will need to have a stability and background check

It could probably go anywhere from 50%-150%
200% If someone REALLY felt it was a winner.

Trax · 11-18-2004, 02:00 AM

I ususally pay 2-4 times what it makes
depending on the site, category, ... more

polish_aristocrat · 11-18-2004, 02:01 AM

The question is what kind of site is it - paysite, TGP, soemthing else?

okny · 11-18-2004, 03:28 AM

I would pay 30k.

Webby · 11-18-2004, 03:42 AM

$150K is there was substance to it - ie detailed accounting, costs, content licenses blah.

erehwon · 11-18-2004, 04:59 AM

Without knowing more, I'd have to offer my standard $10.00

$5 submissions · 11-18-2004, 05:21 AM

It appears the going rate is 3 months' worth of revenues plus GOODWILL value. This is for sites with recurring/rebill revenues.

I'm sure the pricing model is different for sites that use a differing revenue model. (Probably higher emphasis on Goodwill value)

There are a dozen reasons, the promarily one being that they need quick cash for other projects.
