multiply your earnings by 12 and that will give you a rough site value.

Any idea what kind of timeframe would be needed to show a reasonably steady income?
And thank you for your response by the way.
I think that in gambling 12 months income is low side if you also give all your accounts with it.

you buying Itay? LOL i think most are paying 3-6 months now.
This sites revenue is from advertising – not from affiliate accounts. I’d start at 4x revenue and work up from there.
For me, the value of your site would hinge on the quality and stability of your traffic. I’d have to know where the traffic is coming from. At first glance it seems likely that it isn’t organic considering the SE ranks and likely exposure of the target keywords. Organic traffic is significantly better than most other sources.

We just released a new promotion that will run throughout this year that is going to be HUGE. We’re giving away a WPT Battle For The Season Pass III prize package.
Many of my forum members want to play a 10K buyin event, but I figured most players would lack the experience and skill in deep-stacked events like that to do well.
The prize I’m giving away is valued @ $4,395 and gives the winner:
-weeklong vacation in the Bahamas
-training from the pro’s (over 20 pro’s at last years event)
-entry into multiple tournaments while you’re there
-grand prize in the deep-stacked 3-day event is a 100K WPT Season Pass
-Plus 10K cash if you win the deep-stacked eventI figured that would be a much cooler giveaway for most players. And to keep it fun we’re running a scavenger hunt on our site. There will be two monthly satellite events that are free to play, but you have to complete the scavenger hunt.
Then the top 4 in each satellite play a one-table monthly semi-final, with the winner there moving on to the October final table to play for the big prize.
The kicker with the scavenger hunt is that we’ll hide “hidden treasure” images around our site they have to find. This will increase the impressions our advertisers receive (all listings are flat-fee, so there’s no extra charge for increased impressions or clicks)
Then we also ask questions that can only be answered by visiting our advertisers pages through their banners. So that increases the amount of people who will be directed to our advertisers pages (and thus see an offer they might have missed)
I’m not selling the site at this time, as I anticipate the promotion this year will increase traffic by 50-100% or more easily.

http://www.RakeReport.netI think you would need more than 3 months of revenue to get a decent valuation. Also, if the advertising you are selling has long-term contracts then you can expect the revenue to be more steady, which would look better to a potential buyer. It’s tough to say what the factor is, but somewhere between 12x and 18x of average monthly revenues would seem like a reasonable valuation, especially if you can prove longer term ad purchases and a reasonable expectation that those contracts would renew. And of course as said before some expectation that traffic would continue as it is or better.

The 3-months details that were mentioned were not our only revenue, just the upward trend we were experiencing.
We also had been using a front-page bidding process initially but have since switched to flat-fee listings. We also offer 3-month discounts and 1-year purchases in some instances as well. Still trying out new options to see what is best.
I expect with our WPT promotion to adjust the prices within a month or two, due to increased traffic. So we only have one 1-yr purchase available, all others max at 3-months to prevent cutting our potential future profit short.
