I'm selling Elite Porn Reviews - GoFuckYourself.com

Elite Porn Reviews · 01-06-2009, 08:16 PM

After a lot of thought I've decided (I think) to sell Elitepornreviews.com
It's been a hard decision, I don't need to sell it but decided I want to put all my time and money into my mainstream projects. For someone with the time and resources EPR could do so much more than what I've done with it but it's kinda taken a back seat to my other projects.

Some info about the site

Income: I don't want to state specifically in public but I will say that it earns six figures a year.

The overall conversion rate in 2008 was 1:367 raw. My best sponsor converted 1:16 and there are quite a few who convert under 1:100 consistently. The site has some good SE exposure and stable traffic.

Expenses: Hosting, review writers, small amount of paid advertising (adwords)

The site has a custom back end which runs the site. Besides adding/editing reviews, etc. Some of the features are: Integration of 'outside reviews'/rss link exchanges, comments system (currently turned off), grouping by sponsor (to show bonus sites, etc), detailed stats including reads, tour hits, etc. The system is pretty easy to move to a new domain and use as a review script for anything else.

I'm also going to include EPR's 2 sister sites Elitesizereviews.com and Eliteadultreview.com
To be honest the only promotion I've done with those is to put up a link on Elite Porn Reviews but they still make some sales.

If anyone has additional general questions don't hesitate to ask but if you are interested email me at admin AT elitepornreviews.com or my ICQ is 177559237

I'm looking for a serious buyer so please don't message me just to find out how much I'm selling it for - I'm sure the future buyer wouldn't want a lot of people to have that info

Hmm...I hadn't really thought about that. Honestly I would probably rather not so there aren't a bunch of similar looking sites out there but I'll think about it.

Good luck with the sale.

Shouldn't be that hard to figure out. If it is doing low six figures, i.e $100K+, it should sell for around $60K. Six months of earnings is pretty standard.

Thats a very silly statement. So, when mainstream companies buy X company, they expect to make their money back in 6 months? There are no other factors?

What if a company that has shit loads of traffic and doesn't have a way of converting that traffic? If they have 5 mill hits a day, and reduce their ratios by half is the website still only worth 60k?

Relax, 6 months of earnings is not a definitive, probably more of a starting point. It could be worth a lot more or a lot less depending on the traffic and earnings pattern.

6 Months is for online businesses. Mainstream businesses differ widely and it depends on the actual industry, but it is longer than 6 months.

You can probably be pretty sure It's not going for under 1 year gross revenue. Why sell something cheap that makes 100k+ per year that you can just hire someone to take care of for you.

Note to EPR, you are probably better of partnering with someone who will take care of it and you still rake in 50%+

Yeah your right

Yeah your right about the selling price

I've thought of partnering, it might be a possibility but I really want to invest the money in my mainstream stuff which is paying off for me.
