How do YOU determine the price of your website?

Feb 19th, 2005

Hello,

For those that have sold their own website(s), how did you determine the value of the website?

Contents and traffic should be a huge factor in determining the value but I do not know how to set a price.

A very general rule of thumb is to double or triple a site's annual revenue, and use that as a general ballpark area. Then, take into consideration what is being offered (i.e. custom design, custom scripts, keyword-rich domain name, how much branding you've done on the site, whether it has a lot of backlinks and is SEO optimized, etc.) and adjust accordingly.

Hi there,

basically before i sold my webhosting company, i was looking round at others selling similar businesses and got a good outlook there.
then i asked myself how much i would need. lastly calculated total yearly revenue and put a price slightly lower then that. took about a week to sell.
