I've seen sites sell for as little as 3 months profits, but I think 9 months profit is a bit more standard.

A big factor is the reason you are selling. If you need the money fast to pay off some bills or invest in a new project, you will probably be willing to let it go for less than if you are just selling because you have lost interest.

Another big factor would be the amount of work involved. A site that makes $5000/mo profit with no work is worth a LOT more than a site making $5000/mo with 40 hours/week of work.

Thanks

I would think a website would sell for more than a brick and mortar business, due to its growth potential; because it is unlimited to geography.

Anyway, I would be curious to hear others opinions.

I suppose it would depend on if the website was a store that included inventory. And as I said, there are other factors. An autopilot site in a new/upcoming niche/genre could easily sell for over 1 year's earnings. However, comparing a B&M store with property, inventory, etc to a website that has nothing but earnings numbers, isn't really an equal comparison. Also, websites may have unlimited geographical potential, but the fish/pond analogy applies also. It is a lot easier to make a name for yourself locally with a B&M store than it is to make any name for yourself online.

Evaluating online businesses is fraught with danger and compexity.

Website incomes/traffic can be rather easy to manipulate easier than offline businesses with standard financial accounts that have been signed off by accountants (I'm not saying bricks & mortar business cannot be fudged, it's just harder).

Typically, websites in good niches with a steady stream of organic traffic will always sell for high values (seven times monthly profits onwards).

I've seen sites go for 30-50x monthly income. Depends on the niche and the growth potential.

But you can buy them for $10,000 each

I felt that too Ken - luckily I made the $111 before I got out of bed this morning LOL!

I think we can take the results with a VERY large pinch of salt.

The bottom line is your site is worth what someone is willing to pay you for it. Course there are many factors that must be considered also which may include traffic, type of traffic, income, subs, sales, and etc etc..

Those online tools that generate what you site is worth have no idea how your business runs let alone even know how to determine the worth of a site. Just going by alexa ranking and so-called possible advertising profits is not a way to determine a sites worth. Fact is everybody knows alexa rank is not proper, they actually got on my nerves so much I fully blocked them from even checking one of my sites.

In anycase the site is really worth what someone is willing to pay for it and if you are willing to sell it for that amount.
