Hi,
well following the formula of 18x monthly – 50% – 85% (worst case scenario … just going by what you stated) would then be a logical IMHO formula for gaging a site’s worth.
that said, I’m thinking to myself would I take that formula’s end result for the price of all my sites …
damn that’s a tough call. the thing is … and what I keep telling myself is that if I keep the sites then in a couple month’s time they’ll have earned what I’d have recieved for them if I sold them outright.
I’m not much of a business man but does that make any sense at all?
in other words say I made $10k a month and then figuring 180k – 85% … well you can see what I mean. If I had 2 decent month’s earnings it’d almost be the same as if I had sold the sites … but I’d still have the sites at the end of the two months time.
I thought of this a long time ago (5 or 6 months back) when I became aware of a couple of friends who sold out and took this into consideration. (also added into my thinking was that even though I’d suppose to have residual earnings still coming in … its my experience that once you take down a program’s links that your residuals will quickly fall off – the one time I found that not to be true was of all places … with referback who actually had greatly increased earnings over such a period of time that I finally felt they had earned their way back onto my sites … and just as surprisingly … my earnings fell off again after I put them back up. Now I would normally associate that with a program trying to buy its way back onto my sites but I kept their links off far too long for that to have been the case. I still find that to be quite a mystery the way it worked out but no matter what … RB paid me enough while I didn’t have their links up to have shut me up about ever accusing them of not treating affiliates right. I can say that much about the whole incident.
to quote the Grateful Dead … “what a long strange trip its been”.
