Let me describe the position I am in. I own an educational software product that has been advertised on many different sites. I am now potentially in a position to purchase one of these sites.
The current advertising deal that I have with the owner is 50/50 profit split on the proceeds of my product (I am the exclusive advertiser). The total sales derived from that particular site are approximately 50K per year (so that the advertising income for the site is 25K).
So, given this 25K verified and presumably stable yearly income - what would be a reasonable price to pay for the site?
I have heard of a variety of valuation formulas (i.e. 3 x yearly income); I don't know how applicable they are, and of course I understand that actual price will be something that acceptable to both parties, regardless of the forumlas, but I would still appreciate any insight that more experienced domain resellers might have.
Thank you very much!
