Hi all, someone asked me to buy me website, and I don't yet how much should I sell my website for since it's my first time to sell a website, if you can give me any suggestions I would really appreciate it

Here is a quick view on my website:

My website is an affiliate site and is ranked number 6 in Google for my main keyword this keyword has 3600 exact search on adwords. As for my second main keyword, I am still in page 4, but this keyword has a potential of 200000 exact search on adwords
I have about 100 quality backlinks for my keywords

If you want to check my website it is the link of my signature

    Hate to break it to you, but your site is not in the top 100 for any of the following keywords:
    insanity
    insanity workout
    insanity workout review
    insanity workout reviews

    Are you sure your results are not personalized?

      Your figures are all wrong.
      Mike is correct your website is nowhere in Google for the
      term/terms you are targeting.
      Taking that into consideration and the fact that it's
      generating zero income you would be lucky to get
      the registration cost back...

      Why assume it is the website in his signature?

      To the OP: As mentioned, you can check out flippa. Some people say average monthly salary times 12. Some sell at times 3.

      Really, your website is worth as much as someone will pay for it. Having income from it will help increase what someone is willing to pay though.

        Because the OP said this in his first post:
        "If you want to check my website it is the link of my signature"

        No assuming necessary.

    google "website worth checker" or something along those lines. I just did it and there are a few checker tools that you can use. Enter your URL address in a few of them and they should calculate your sites estimated worth. Then just go by that. Not really sure how accurate it is but do a few of them and get an average price.

    The chances are that the person who contacted you is a scammer. It's a well known scam - and they will ask you to get your site appraised by a scam appraisal company. Ignore them.

    Maybe you can go to flippa.com and do some research. Find some websites that is similar to yours, their niches, keywords, how old the domains, and so on.

    The three primary determinants of the value of such a website are income, income and income (and then the next one after those three is how steady the income has been, for how many months, and how well/independently verified and proven that is).

    I don't mean it rudely, I promise, but the site is barely worth reg-fee, and if someone's proposing to pay more than that for it, then "something isn't quite right, here".

      I think I get the point know thank you for your help actually, he offered to pay 500$ and I was willing to sell it for more lol I am super greedy :p, I guess now that it is way far than my website deserves, but I just have a question how to make sure that he will not scam me?

        In your browser, on your computer, it may be.

        That's because you've been there many times and Google is good at showing you what's relevant to you.

        Delete your browser cookies, or download a new browser, and look at it for the first time from that, and you'll see that it isn't at all.

        Because he didn't say otherwise, which he clearly would have done, if it had been a different one, perhaps? And because he mentioned the keywords for which he's trying to rank it, and they match the site in his sig-file, maybe?

        It's an appraisal scam, Mostafa: when you say "yes", he'll ask you to pay for an appraisal at a specific site (which he really owns). Try it and see: you'll know then that he's just an appraisal scammer.

    Considering the fact that you haven't made any sales, and that your search engine rankings aren't there... i personally would pay more than $20 for it... also considering the fact that your Alexa ranking is over 7,000,000... which makes me think it's not getting alot of traffic either.

    At 10X your monthly income, your website is worth $0.00

    Just for the web design and content, there are complete websites for sale on here that come with a lot more content for $25.00

    You may be able to get between $0 and $24.99

    i would agree with Kierkegaard - your website may not be able to go above $25.

    Check out worthofweb.com. Just type in your domain name and they give you an estimated value, assuming you have gotten a decent amount of traffic to the site.

    The only thing is when i checked the site just about every site there was listed at 9K for absolute stupid domain names, so it looks like they caught some people sleeping.

    Maybe ~$20 if you're lucky. Doesn't matter what backlinks, etc. you have. If you don't have any customer traffic and your website isn't anything special, then you don't really have much value at all.

    It's a 99.999999999999% chance that it's a fake buyer. Regardless, always sell through Escrow.com.

    Escrow.com protects both you and the buyer. However, in the case of website content (as opposed to just a domain name), it protects you financially only. There's still a risk of the buyer receiving your website files, copying them, and then canceling the transaction. Domain names will always be secure but if you have some sort of cutting edge software, be cautious.

    Back to your situation - If you ever do sell any websites: don't accept anything but Escrow.com, Cheque/Cash, Bank Transfer, or Wire Transfer.

    Escrow.com would be the logical choice since any buyer in their right mind would never risk one of those other methods.

      The generally accepted view is that a website is worth about one year's profit (not revenue - you might be using PPC to get the visitors). If you can show a history of an increasing profit every month then some buyers might be prepared to extrapolate that and pay a bit more.

      However, you might be failing to exploit the domain name and that might be worth far more than the website. If you owned sex.com and used it for a one-page website that contained a picture of Mickey Mouse, do you think people would offer you more than your current annual profit?

    Sorry Mostafa your site is nowhere near #6 on Google. For reasons that have been
    explained to you.
    Also your site is not worth $500 or even $50, so anyone offering you those amounts
    is either trying to put one over you or a complete idiot.
    Dude, just rip that band-aid and move on...

      On my computer, it is no6 for that keyword in the UK, but not if I change to US.

      I still think, as Alexa and I already said, that it's a scam.

      Mostafa - why not answer them and see what they say? If they ask you to get your site appraised, send me their emails and I'll add them to my anti-scam blog.

    The site itself is pretty generic and doesn't get much traffic or any earnings at all, so yeah I would say between 20 and 50 dollars would be what you should expect.
