Hiya folks
We have a lot more on our plate than we can take care of right now, so we're thinking about letting go of a couple of sites that we really don't have time to develop further at the moment (and no, not Fetish Club or Cash Fetish).
We've spent years developing sites without ever selling one that we've grown. We've bought and sold some domain names, but we've never sold a developed site that already has some very nice traffic.
Before we get to the point of actually offering them for sale (which I'd announce in the "for sale" forum), I'd like to get some feedback on how people are valuing sites today. I know that some folks base things on traffic, or PR value, or number of inbound links, or SERPs, or percentage of bookmarkers, or a range/combination of other different things.
To keep this a general discussion, let's just say these these are two large free sex story archive sites. They have thousands of pages indexed by search engines, over three-quarters of a million visitors a month, and over 4 million pageviews a month between the two sites.
If you have any experience in putting a value on a web property, I'd be very glad to get some feedback on how I might best go about setting a reasonable/rational value for websites like these.
Thanks in advance for any input you can offer.
