Thinking about selling your website? How do you put a value on it?
Thinking about buying a web site? What is it worth?
This is an excellent question, a tough one to answer. I've been a student of this question for quite some time, since I've always had dreams of selling my web sites for way more than they were worth. There are all kinds of wildly ranging thoughts on the subject of web site valuation, because it's such a new and complicated idea. Traditional business valuation doesn't cut it because there are a lot more factors...
Stuntdubl does a thorough job of
explaining the ins and outs of web site valuation. He goes over different types of websites, how they generate their money, and what questions you should ask yourself about their operation. He also goes over the various generally accepted methods of valuation. There are some links to online tools that will help you uncover the value of the site.
I thought this post was very helpful. I immediately tagged it in del.ici.ous so as to be able to find it easily later on... and I don't dole out bookmarks lightly! If you're interested in how much to buy or sell a web site for, this post deserves a read.
