What are +4 million pageviews worth these days?

GG - I do like your range better, at least the high end has some high end in it.


Okay... let me see if we can look at this a little differently.

Lets say you had a couple of free sex story archive sites that you've had online since 1998/99, with lots of pages in the engines, more than 750K visitors a month, and that you showed those visitors more than 4 million pages (stories) each month that they requested. Now let's specify for the sake of this discussion that the sites generate $0 (zero dollars) in directly* trackable revenue of any kind.

Now, based on those criteria...what kind of formula would you use to try to set a value on those sites? Is there a way to compute a site's value based on something besides the revenue it directly generates?
