TheRealEd, you seemed to have the first well known voyeur site ("2 years ago") which is why you are probably more successful then a bunch of people here. I am not saying there aren't many on here as successful or more so, you were lucky to get on the voyeurism wagon early on.
Cheers |

A porn business is worth 3-6 months profit unless you have some proprietory edge.

I'll take a quarter pounder and fries for mine...
Ya know the one thing about this biz that I've noticed is that the successful people are that way for a reason, and hell they could sell their entire operation, and start over again, and do it again. Then say somebody comes into some dough, and buys your business, thinking they're gonna have a profitable business because it was profitable for the other guy, and it doesn't work, because what works for one usually doesn't work for another... This business isn't a science, it's an art, and the ones that are truly successful, in any aspect, will be successful no matter when they started... ------------------ ---- Chained to my Adult.com Desk... ---- |

i think Lensman with the 3-6months period he had in mind what is considered a "non-risky" internet business purchase movement. Actually, internet success is based on adaptation, models that work now probably they won't work in 2-3 years. Spending a large amount to purchase a company which model is not stable and it depends on you if it will remain profitable is not an advisable movement.

Speaking of cars, insurance is so fucking expensive for me, and I have a clean license but it's because of my age... it's not even funny. Check out Screentrade.com... I get quotes that are more than the car's value. Those FUCKERS.

Wow that is very impresive. As for value not to sure on it. That is a very good question.

The real value is what people are willing to pay for it. If you really would like to know, find other sites and how much they are selling for(or a wild guess), price yours a a little higher, then put it on the market for offers. You dont have to actually sell it.
I have too many friends that pull the "Guess what I bought, its worth $1,000, but I got a deal and got it for $250" Its worth what people pay for it. Look at beanie babies 2.5 years ago... |

Dad had a small gift shop a few years back...got them at about $2 each...We went to trade shows and sold them at outrageous prices. I remember a lady asking me to sell her a glory bear "for her daughter" for $120...and she ran away like a thief after i sold it to her. Prices fell 4 months later
worth nothing now Amp, your right, lot easier to type drunk |

WOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I've decided to sell my business to thehun... He has made me an offer I can't refuse..... Seems like my $3.6 MILLION US was quite accurate... He has offered me $2.9 MILLION and I'm going to take it.... Thanks for all the help folks..... :-))) . . . . . . . . . . Yeah... Right.... I wish!!! P.S - Would love to hear from more webmasters about this... Does anybody know of a buy/sell adult website resource? Or am I going to have to make one myself :-( Terry |

I doubt there is any estimating service - if there is - it is probably a scam as like the domain names.
It is a cliche, but your business is worth what someone will pay for it. Two things are how much is it making now, and how much more does the person buying it think they can make. If you look at it from a p/e standpoint - 3 months is kinda a shabby amount. 3 years is way to much for anything on the Internet. However, you also have great branding. I know from doing SEO - that people are looking for your site - not a site LIKE yours - but YOUR SITE. That is worth something. On the other hand, how much of the business is you? Will people still visit without you in charge? I'd be willing to say that the hun is a much greater asset to thehun.net than whoever was running world sex. I think the problem you will run into - is there just isn't that many people that are willing and can afford to buy your site - even at the low end of the spectrum. Who knows, maybe there is, personally - If I had to guess - I would say that $1M would be what I would be willing to shell out for your site if I had the money. I think it is worth more, but I would be looking for a deal ------------------ TopBucks.com - Converting at better than 1:130 David Lace Content - Highest Quality Teen Content ConversionCash.com - Make Money off your WebTV Traffic |

with that kind of money every month, I don't even know why you would consider selling it...In my opinion, you could sell it for a big amount of money or make a large living with 60k a month for many years to come if you take care of it!
I'd love to have this kind of dilemma! |
