and that always seems to be the "problem" that i see - not that there's anyone out there who would be interested in buying me out, but if offers in general are in the six month (or even one year) arena - why would that be worth it, when I know that with proper care, the business can continue to generate that sort of money year after year after year?

My site does a grand + a month. I'd sell it for $15,000 only because I know someone with a network established would probably double that the first year.

dh stop buying businesses and leave some for me!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

10 years + $10 million

nope, i won't sell until i consolidate with Flint :thumbsup :thumbsup

I don't know if I would ever sell off everything. There are some sites I can think of getting out of when I reach 40 or something all depending. But even then, I do not think I would sell off exclusive rights.

Just like many who have gotten out of the biz only to come back, I'd hate to have to start over from scratch. I'd probably sell the site(s) and material to date, but license off video, and some of the other content.

I don't know. Have a decade to worry about it. But from other's tales, I'd always leave myself a backdoor incase my whatever plan did not work out. Or find a way to build in a residual. Who knows. This industry has changed a lot in the past year, not to mention since I've been around. The biz and internet's changed a lot, and who knows what a decade from now will bring.

:pimp

Little Does DH Know but i have Secretly Been Buying a percentage of his company monthly by the year 2010 i will Have all of GTS!!
HAHAHA

What the fuck are you laughing at?

The site makes $12k-$15,000 per year, untouched just sitting there with some affiliates. If someone bought it, stuck it into their network, they would make double that easily. It already has 7,500 pictures in it and an automated content system.

Jackass

I rather run my business into the ground than sell it for 6 months income. LOL

I mean, even if I stopped all the work, it would keep generating money. Less and less each month, but more than 6 months worth.

I wonder if Bill Gates would sell Microsoft for 6 months revenue.

Don't sell DH - who else is going to send me a turkey for thanksgiving?

nope i wouldn't sell

Good thread :thumbsup I have only made my own sites and bought others. Not sure if I would sell or not. :)

Yes, I understand.I would not like to sell it to a non seo.
My traffic has survived every google dance in one form or another.The good thing about having a large network is that while some may take a drop others rise to the top to take their place.
In the right hands my network can make a lot more than I am making at the moment.I am bound by the fact that I am a one man band and lack skills in every webmaster department except for seo.No fancy scripts like WG and I can barely use dreamwevaer well enough to put a site up.

Charles, its getting late in the afternoon here, I will hit you up tomorow sometime.

Certain things in my network just cannot be priced. Slow and steady usually wins the game, not one shot deals.
But the one thing that this thread did do... was inspire me to step my game up.

That's all, thank you. :)

Sounds good. Would be easier to buy a whitehat network than building one from scratch.
WG

In adult I think your looking at a lot less than the normal 18 months net. maybe 3 months gross revenue. depending on what type of assets you have.

i would sell everything in a heartbeat if the price were right. i would look at anywhere from 6-9 months revenue as the price. and i would even sign a temporary non-compete, say a 1 year agreement.

why? because every dime i make i pump back into my network and have been steadily growing it for two years. i've never taken any money out of it. so if i sold i would finally have enough money to move onto my next bigger project :pimp

If I send you a turkey that means you will get coal in your stocking for x-mas, the choice is up to you. LOL! ;)

DH

Fuck I hope someone buys me out asap then LOL!

DH

3-4 years of income.

Any big TGP (100k bookmarks or 500k+ trade traffic a day) who wants to sell for 6-18 months income, hit me up ASAP :thumbsup

If that isn't a good sign of how the tgp market is going, I don't know what is ;)

DH

Mike I will tell you what, I will buy all your sites for like 6 psps, 4 nintendo ds's and a wackful of DVD's. What do you say? ;)

DH

Not interested in selling :)

ZERO according my new accountanting firm Bluff & Co.

I was hoping for at least a dollar or two.

:1orglaugh

Bill Gates can't sell what he does not own. :winkwink: :winkwink:

Bluff AKA Price Waterhouse Cooper :thumbsup

DH

Wow that post for a big TGP is amazing. I would think SEO traffic is ten times better then TGP. I will stick to my smaller deals.

icq 166708909

SEO traffic is 10 times better than TGP traffic, maybe even 25x better but TGP traffic is 100 times easier to get :winkwink:

Shows how we live. Opposite ends of the porn world. :)

Don't Worry i will let you keep your Job

Never thought of selling, but tried to calculate the value of it. I would want at least 12 months revenue + $$$ for domains, content, DVDs & consulting.

wouldn't go lower than 7 figures thats for sure

I'm selling http://www.nowthatsanass.com current offer is $2.5K

$500k+, I will rather wait a bit, no need to hurry :)

Is it mainstream traffic?
