or he know something that others don't know

damn i'm good

To who has it been sold? Are the e-mail adresses still the same as for prepaid spot inquiries?

If that was the case why would he bother selling it?

Im still in business because I dont over value items and I make purchases based on real numbers, not on anything else. GFY's and its list of newbies have a way of WAY over valuing sites. The thought that kids with no business experience could place a figure on a site is really interesting. Some of the people that speculate on site value have not even paid rent on their own place yet. haha Twistys is NO newbie or kid. I doubt he over paid.

When I buy, I buy because its a good deal and I can turn a profit on it. Thats good business and playing smart with your money. Im sure Slap did the same, no doubt. He's has been around for a long time and I find it nearly impossible to think he over paid and didnt make the best deal possible. The fact the GTS is now involved and selling ad spots is proof he has a solid plan.

Ive said I could be wrong on this. Pipecrew has a clue and his price is in the neighborhood that what I estimated.

Just an FYI.... you stay in business by not over paying for products and services. Being able to calculate true value, short term and long term is key. Im sure Twistys got the deal they wanted.

well I would have paid $800k for it,to which I would expect to be laughed at

i would say 250k-300k

Hi Guys. I'm in vegas right now. We are looking forward to meeting everyone :thumbsup

With regards to how much we sold. Both Zilla and I agreed to keep the price confidential. One thing you can be sure is that Zilla didn't have to sell. He was happy as it was so it was low bargain price. I think we both feel it's a fair price that we are both happy with :thumbsup

Battuss that number from Nelvac isn't right. We've all agreed to keep it quiet so I'm sure Nelvac just mentioned a number to get people off his back.

Cosis we've done our homework for the past 12 months regarding purchasing sites. Zilla isn't the first we approached, he was just the first that we managed to strike a deal with. The price range usually varies from 6 months to 24 months of income all depending all the site. There are alot of factors that come in to play. When dealing with well established sites you obviously pay a premium for the name. And just a quick note, Zilla makes a hell of a lot more than $500K every 3 years :) Zilla set the site up as a money machine :thumbsup

the sure is shap got a good deal :)

I would say $300k would be a fair price.

sell for 3 month revenue? show me some established sites with bookmarker traffic that will earn you 400% in the first year and i will buy them all.

He was told under very good authority that he was paid a $googolplex

what he said.

reading your words, i consider he was doing something around 1mil per every 3 years? :-)
Thats 330k a year, 27k a month.
Nice income.

if I had to guess I'd say over half a million for sure!

some of you guys obviously have no idea, Congrats shap! :thumbsup

Hey Perfection girls.. it is sHap not slap. :)

he gave it to them for free in christmas spirit.

I don't pretend to have a clue about valuating such a site... but my guess is an even Mil. He certainly didn't have to sell, so a premium would have to be paid for such an established cash cow which was referred to as "his baby". :2 cents:

How much for you site? :Graucho

If I could get a million for it I would probably sell.

hopefully it's more then that

that quote is funny as hell. I'm still laughing

The previous owner has the privilege to have a partner account and can post 2 or 3 galleries a day. That was the deal and he agreed.

I would say 200-300k... max.

Come on, you can build for 10 millions uniques/day of TGP/MGP traffic for that price, I would not pay only for a name.

The reason why they bought it is because Zilla converts babe/big tits pic traffic well.

Zilla is not Worldsex. For $1000 you had top spots for the whole month. Text TGPs might convert better, but I give them maximum 2 more years to live.

JJJ, as somebody who has been in the game for so long, how do you assess the value of a TGP like your own or Thumbzilla?

There are many in here saying others "don't have a clue" because of the prices they think Thumbzilla sold for. How did you come up with a million for your site? If it's purely based on traffic, would Thumbzilla then have reasonably sold for $1.5 - $2 million in your opinion? Are the values like $200-$500k low in your opinion? If so, why?

There was a time when JJJ's was doing over 700k daily. Would the asking price have more at that time?

Heard that one 5 years ago

yeah,i dont see how an established site that uses text links will suddenly go away.

Thumb TGP/MGP did not exists 5 years ago, try again.

what's your point? Text TGP's seem to get bigger and bigger

And since when did Text TGP's not include movies?

really, are you sure about that?

mike33, I think the value of a site is based on the monthly earnings. Based on yearly gross times 3, a million is too low for my site, but that is what would make it worth it for me to give it up. Also more traffic doesnt always equal out to more money. Zilla's site was designed to make money, and that is the way I run my site, to make money. Alot of sites are too clean, and dont have enough ads so they make lesser amounts.

JJJ

So over a year each surfer is worth about a buck? He has to be closer to 50k a month in income I would think.

GTS will post the numbers or new income so we get to see in a few days.

Thanks for your candid reply :)

Thumbzilla is 80% larger then you.

as JJ mentioned, dont ever equate traffic with income....
if you double your traffic with blind link trades, you certainly wont double your income...

Shemp and JJJ know what they are talking about. We have bigbreastlovers. It was set up to make money and I can just about guarantee it makes more than the majority of the Sextracker top 100. Not only does it make more money it has a following that is loyal beyond belief. BigBreastLovers only gets 100k uniques a day but it is easily worth $600,000 to $1,000,000.

One of the problems is that most tgp owners concentrate only on traffic. Usually traffic from link trades. By doing that you have a site that depends on your link trades. The key is to build up bookmarks and not be afraid to advertise on the site. If a site is so dependant on link trades that it can't advertise then it really isn't worth much and is looking for trouble in the future. I could go on all day about the topic :thumbsup

:bowdown :bowdown

Yeah because I'm the TGP industry since 2000 and never seen any solid network of thumb TGPs before the madscript.
