What is my website worth?

You are way off the mark, the value of a website has got nothing to do with time or effort spent building/maintaining it...

So you are saying your site earns ave about $3000 per month?
For how long and can you prove those quoted figures?

As a website owner i understand your concerns. The website actually lost it's ranking due to changes in my settings that I wasn't aware of. My robots.txt was completely wrong for my site and disallowed every search engine. I'm pretty sure the cause was the change of theme and messing with wp-plugins.

However, that doesn't effect my website's standings in google, bing, yahoo, aol, or other search engine at all anymore.

My backlinks i've made now are permanent, relevant, and have both decent TF and CF.

My earnings come in bimonthly due to my affiliate network.

Niche isn't important to give out. I'm not making things harder on myself.

To maintain the rankings on the first page is very easy once you have the habits.

I'm currently in the google dance but I have no doubt in my mind anymore that it'll dance back to the top 3 positions again in a week or two.

Why, you may ask?

Because I just fixed my website's robots.txt and reindexed my site and I'm already on page 1 again.
So, with given time and continued effort on my part for quality backlinks and more content and visitor engagement, the site will stay on top.

The reason why I ask for an analysis on value is because if I saw my site as an outsider, saw the income proofs, and cared about the site's health, then after further analysis my highest price wouldn't be less than $16,000.

If I knew I could optimize the articles better (since i wrote them all myself they're more search engine friendly than conversion friendly) which could always be improved and not affect ranking provided you stick to my algorithm for keyword density.

So with all the said, out of the 5k views/month getting only 106 sales is on the very low end. The potential to get more out of it could always be increased by adding small things like an email list, better written content, and whatever else you want to come up with.
Plus you can always add an adnetwork of your choice like Google AdSense and make additional $0.00-$200/day* depending on what you focus on.

*- you cannot guarantee clicks on ads but you can generally say you can make anywhere from nothing to a couple hundred bucks.

Regardless of anything outside of the customer(s) you generate. (my leads at the moment)
They are repeat customers for anywhere from 2-3 months.

So depending on how you market and convert you can really make a whole lot more money than myself if i were to sell it as it is.

Of course at the end of the day, please understand, I do not plan on selling my website.
I just want to figure out how much someone would offer for it.

The real earning potential is upwards of $15,000/month = 406 sales out of 5,040 unique visitors/month. Which is a measly 0.0805 conversion rate.

And I mean that in context of just the article.

If you could collect emails and give a newsletter and cross promote products to the same people, then you can easily upscale this to way higher conversion. If I had to speculate, then i'd say at least 12%-18% more. (low end)

The sales come from how much work you want to put into it and how much time you want to devote to it. Obviously, if you're serious, then you'll do what you can to increase sales. But the first priority should be about quality content and getting organic traffic.
Once that's in place and stable, that's when your marketing should come into play.

Now as a whole, my website stands in the google dance on the first page. It will dance away to the top in due time. And the sales will increase as well.
So at the end of the day I can estimate that I will generate a minimum of $3k/month and a max of (with my current conversion rate) no more than $12k/month.

Anyway, thank you all for posting on this thread. It definitely keeps me motivated and helps me get some more insight.

Again, almost all the things you've mentioned above (highly relevant though they doubtless are to yourself, if you keep the site) are very likely indeed to be at best tangential to its value in the market. Its proven history of income will almost certainly determine what you can actually get for it. Rankings, traffic, design, effort put in, articles, and so on are typically relevant only in so far as they affect its proven income (and income being entirely or mostly Google-dependent isn't a great plus, of course).
