I have been buying and selling websites for years but have not found a very reliable website valuation service. I've used some of the services recommended here but none seem to take into account revenue, profit and traffic.

Has anyone found a website valuation tool that goes beyond just guessing a value based on PR and some basic Alexa stats?

I see nobody was able to provide an answer, did you ever find a good valuation service? I'm looking for the same thing. I understand there's a bunch of firms in Chicago that do this, but I'm having trouble finding one.

You would think it would be easier!

I know there are many automated tools that try, but fall short. They can only analyze from Alexa and other traffic rankings along with domain age. So they don't take into account profit.

One rule of thumb I have seen is 3x the annual profit. But that would mean that the value of a web site with huge traffic and no profit would be zero. Well, maybe if the owner couldn't make any money on it, the value isn't there anyway.

I don't think they're really good for much besides a backlink :-p

take the net income and multiply by between six and fifteen and you get an estimate that 95% of website sales will make. There will be outliers in the tails of the distribution but this will be a pretty good estimate. The hard part is getting truthful estimates of net income.
