Because those plugins are part of the site, it only makes sense to include them. If you paid alot of money for those plugins or you just want to make some spare change off them (Im guessing it wasnt that much, wordpress plugins are quite cheap) then you can always add them to the total of the quote

Can you email me the profit details, traffic etc from the past year. cur_e_c@yahoo.com

You can always use escrow.com to sell your website, it is save because you can transfer your domain name and website after the payment is received by escrow ( a tirth party ). Make sure you do go to the site directly and don’t follow a link in the email of the potential buyers, because there have been scams with sites that where build to look like escrow!
I buy and sell websiteson a regular basis but the figures I read here of 3 times yearly profit are really high, Most sales I have seen are 1 to 2 times yearly profit tops…
It al depends on how long the website has been around, how long it has been making steady profit, and the competition in the niche. If all is right I thing 3 times yearly profit is still to much because there are many changes going on in the search engines algorithm, with updates like panda (Google) that have had a big effect on traffic on many sites, some have had a 80% drop in traffic! Nothing is sure online thats why sales that go for 1 to 2 times yearly profit are more common.
Anyways If anyone wants to sell their website sent me a email I am always interested. cur_e_c@yahoo.com
Regards,
Ben

i have found when buying and selling that using an escrow type payment is best as you can with hold the payment until you are happy that the details within a sale are correct. lots of sites out there offer this service when selling/buying, i myself have created one recently.

thanks for the blog post

Hi,

I have one question
I have created some websites using wordpress. I write my own content as well as I installed some wordpress premium plugins. like WPRobot etc for autoblogging and backlink creation. And also I used paid themes.

If I sell website what happens to these paid plugins and themes? When I bought themes and plugins, it was mentioned that I should use only on my own domains.

Please help me to find answer

Regards
Niya

Often finding private website buyers can be a great alternative to brokers and marketplaces. For instance, this site has a form where you can submit your site for sale to a private buyer http://www.flipwebsites.com/sell-your-website/

One of the most miserable things I have recently realized is that you must never abandon your site! Over the past year or what I have neglected my blog because I don’t really have the time for blogging and all that.
Blogging has become a full time things and is no longer a ‘past time’ thing if you don’t want to look that behind . . .

It is more than the value to sell. I do not think there is a specific method of calculating the value of a website.

nice one jamie, keep at it mate. Adsense sites are a great start to the market. and they are really good for not much work.

Your MessageYaro although this post is quite old it is still highly relavant. Always creating evergreen stuff great work.

Mark in response to your question, the whole family is sick ploy, really need the money is a bit of a give away in regards to scams. I came across a similar site last year where a guy was selling an adsense site a really low multiples. I’d say anything too good to be true is a warning.

Just be careful of things like that. If you are paying big money for it, maybe it is a good idea to pay someone to do some due dilligence.

Does the price of the site change if it has a very narrow niche?

Just been reading several of your posts, tons of valuable information in here. I’ve actually spent the last 6 months building up Adsense websites to flip. I’ve sold a dozen of them and pocketed 4 figures. Picked up several tips for my next batch.

I have sold a couple of websites over time, and have always made the price 3x the yearly income but the reason for this, is because the websites I make relies on search engine traffic. I do not post money in advertising of the affiliate sites, but if I did the figures would also look a bit different.

joyous? selling a site is anything but joyous…. it’s a pain and hassle the ONE time I tried it… and complicated.

I think the hardest part of the process is to find potential buyers that will understand the value of your website. Many wnat to be online entrepreneurs will not be able to understand the value of an established, developed site vs a brand new build.

Traffic these days is also hard to value and with so mnay web businesses out there, sale is the only hard measure of success. I agree with the commenter above that says there is value in potential, but selling this to hard nosed investors or ‘brick and mortar’ buisnessmen is a hard sell.

I think that the value of your website will depend on the content and the traffic it gets through internet. With colorful presentation, relevant content and seo traffic your site will be the favorite one.

Thanks

I always thought about 1 years net profit is a good price. Then why would you hear people say that they sold it for 2+ years profit? How important is the nice? I could imagine that the selling price is higher for something that is an evergreen?

Flippa.com is a good place to sell and buy websites. I’ve only every had experience buying websites from them not selling, but what I’ve bought so far has turned out ok. Organic traffic and original content is the first things to look for. Great post Yaro!
