Looking For A Website Appraisal Tool - GoFuckYourself.com

infamousLA · 12-30-2012, 10:54 AM

I'm thinking of selling my website. Do you guys know of any good website appraisal tools, that are fairly accurate and have a good ball park figure of what it's worth?

I found two websites that return more than just the value etc. page rank, alexa rank, page views..

mcjonline[dot]com
freesiteappraisal[dot]com

Has anyone used them, or recommend them?

Thanks

None of those things can calculate what a website is worth.

I'd say the formula looks something like this (someone else probably knows better thought):

Average monthly revenue times X months (usually 3-6) + any licensed content value + any codebase/property value minus complexity of new programmer to grasp + domain name value = price.

There are just too many things to factor in without more information, what kind of site are you trying to sell? Is it a blog? Is it a social network (how many active users does it have?), is it a dropship eCommerce site with X clients, suppliers etc.

Tell us more if you want some help getting it appraised. But services like those you listed are usually worthless. I had one of them say a site was worth 90K USD, while I doubt anyone would pay more than $50 for it lol

@Markul You're right. I'm trying to sell pics[dot]nymphoez[dot]com along with the Twitter account associated with it. It has 126k + followers, Alexa Rank: 204,492 - Daily Page Views:15,524 - Google PageRank: 1

Hard to say, especially since I'd guess that you don't have rights for that content. Any revenue?
