@ babaganoosh - I think there are many different variables that should be considered with a site other than traffic and or sales. For example, I have a few web sites that have great page rank with plenty of all original content, they don't pull a lot of traffic or make any sales - but the value to me is pretty much priceless, as they provide the juice to make other sites perform well. With this site I am considering selling, it has a lot of pages, and it does not bleed traffic or PR, and it performs well in the serps. With that, it could be used to rank up other sites, not just sending traffic. Getting a link across 30,000 relative content pages may be very valuable to another webmaster, the exact value? That depends.
Another thing to consider is that it sounds like there are other webmasters here bragging that they easily pull 60,000 unique visitors in a day - well if that is true, then they could take over this site, and promote on their other sites and push the visitors to 60,000 in no time from what it sounds like - given that this site has so much content, it should be easy to convert those users into return visitors, and further promote other services as well.
So much of the work has already been done, this is not some out of the box script with content scraped and embedded with one of the scrapers out there - every video has been uploaded by users, and is hosted on site, they are all categorized and easy to surf through.
Obviously I am better at modding up scripts and doing other aspects of web site design than pushing massive traffic or tracking sales across all of my web sites, and it sounds like many others here are better at driving traffic and sales - that being the case an experienced gfy guru would probably change out the way I had setup ads to run, add some traffic, make bank, and gets lots of user love, along with SE love - all they would need to do is take the site and change some ad code, perhaps go with a premium player plugin to throw ads there - From the numbers I see being boasted and jokes being made, I would think that another webmaster could buy this site, make a few minor changes to it along with some cross site promo and make their 15k back within 90 days - plus they would have a pretty strong site to use in various other ways if they chose to.
I suppose you could also import affiliate vids, put relative banners around and pull extra income that way as well - I have yet to do any of that. The script is setup to import galleries and can pull in and convert X amount of vids per day, etc, although I have never needed to do that with this site - so there are many more possibilities that could be considered.
There are many other variables to consider when valuing a site as well, I do not expect 90% of the users here to consider those factors, as I mentioned in the first post, there are some webmasters out there that know the value of a site like this, and those users can afford the 15k and see an ROI in less than a year with other benefits as well.
