Wanting to sell my website, but not sure what its worth

[heat33]

Hi, I have a website thai-discovery.com which I started in 2009.

Basically it is a website for people to get information on Thailand etc, its got a ladyboy test which ranks number 1 in google and in also in the first page 6 times or so.

My daily traffic is anywhere between 500 to 1000 daily with 18,000 unique visitors per month. It was done as a hobby at first, but then got some advertising and then I added an affiliate, the thing is I dont have time to really market it and think I better sell it as I havent really touched it in about 8 months and I get this traffic from doing basically nothing. The income on the website is very little but I am sure you could make more if someone put some time and effort into it.

So, can someone give me an estimate what you think its worth? Website built in Wordress and the forum is from Invision Power Board.

Thanks

Hi heat33, and welcome to experienced-people.net

I dont have time to really market it

Sellers often think that this is somehow a positive. Their chain of thinking seems to be that if they didn't have time to market it then the site's value is not represented in the current level of earnings.

That is not necessarily the case. If you haven't marketed the site and demonstrated the level of earnings possible with marketing then the safe assumption for buyers to make is that maybe you tried marketing it and never made any money. Bear in mind that buyers are a cautious lot.

There are, however, some good points about your site including the backlinks, the forums etc. which may be attractive to some buyers to motivate them to pay slightly over the odds.

What are the current level of earnings? Which country does the majority of your traffic come from?

It generates about $300 a month.
Most of the traffic is from the US, Canada, UK, Australia.

I think I might try and spend a little more time on it for 6 months then try and sell it.
