    Hi,

    I have run a buesiness that the shop front is essentially a website. I have since bought another business that is very time consuming but was wondering if anyone had any idea of how to value a website that can be done as a home based business.

    Sedo.com should be helpful for what you asking for.

    How much money do you make out of the site each year? Multiply that by 3 maybe?

    Which site you thinking of selling?

    Isn't sedo.com just a domain auction house?

    Thanks

    The site itself showcased projects that I was involved with and products I sold...the name of the site is www.bazilico.com

    I dont feel like I am advertising it becaue I changed the contact number and disconnented the emails so no one can ask for any products. Just felt it would be good for someone who wanted a hoem based business that has low overheads.

    Hey James, maybe try looking on the Sitepoint Marketplace- they have a lot of sites for sale and quite often you see prospective owners looking for information and giving their opinions on valuations.

    Update:

    From an SEO viewpoint it does not appear to be hugely valuable. I'm guessing that you're either bringing traffic in through other means (PPC or mailing list) or you're selling it as a potential money maker, but not a going concern? Can you give more information on what kind of traffic and conversion rate you're seeing, and what the operations side of the business consists of?

    Cheers.
    Alastair.

    It never needed search placement as I used to just feed through information to all the agencies and place it on industry specific websites which gave me the right level of traffic as opposed to randomers tyre kicking.

    Thanks though for the tip...it is being sold as a going concern

    Thought it might be something like that. Well, if you have analytics, or even basic "unique visitor" numbers and your sales records you can figure out conversion rate. It should be fairly decent due to lack of low quality traffic and pre-qualified visitors. That may be an indicator of strong potential for interested parties.

    Keep us updated - it's interesting to see how people get on with these!
