How do you dertermine the price of a website

Hi

How do you dertermine the price of a website? So when you sell a website, how do you know what it's worth?

Thanks

It would seem that the general view is based on the income of the site(nornmally 10 times minthly income), aswell as PR and backlinks.
Though a tatally unique site with no income can be worth alot.

Thanks Midlandi

What about a forum? How would you work out the cost of a forum with no income but busy

[Midlandi]

That usually depends on how busy the forum is.How many members,how many posts,quality of posts...etc
The forum subject can make a difference, as can the age of the site.
Also whatever extra features are installed.
The Design and layout,wether its a unique template or a standard "off the shelf" one.
Now if it does have a really good design then sometimes that will sell it even if the forum is not busy. I have seen ones with just a thousand or so posts go for high hundreds!

Interesting. I've always pretty much wondered myself how to determine the price of my holiday website and considerd gettting it valued.

It has excellent Search engine positioning with good traffic for all pages and generates money through the affiliate setup - only thing is, it could generate much more if the supplier took interest in its affiliates so therefore the site is best sold to a holiday company who wants a website that is established in search engines for all holiday keywords.

Does anyone have any idea who could value such a website?

Thanks

You have a nice site Vic, why would you want to sell it?

Do you believe in site value calculators that you can grab hold of from the net, such as:

What I build today is only a taste of what is to come in the future! Apologies for not being specific.

Many thanks for the compliment

I heard that the general rule of the 10x monthly income is pretty accurate. Though I don't agree, largely due to the fact that 10 months is a long time in internet terms.
