How much would you buy a site that makes 100k$profit a year?

simple question :thumbsup

$500

1 year is long on the internet
a lot of thing can change :2 cents:

so its depands of the site

I hear ya, why not say that it made about 8k$profit / month in the past 3 months then?

so i would pay for 9 month of profit if they can show some good record

otherwise
2 or 3 month of profit MAX

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

I'll give you $5.00.

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

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.

$1 million

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...

would you sell a site that giving you 100k without good reason ? :P

I agree with the above.

$95,000?

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 :2 cents:

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...

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

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

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

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.

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

email in sig

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

bingo

I would pay 30k.

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

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

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)

an idiot might

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

2-4 times what it makes in what time period? a day? week? month? year?
