closed over 3 million hits per month...

[com]

Hey, guys, i have a domain name with a website. The site is established, been featured in the major papers several times, as well as in online news. Site currently gets over 3 million hits per month and growing fast. It generated this much in its 4 month existance, so you can imagine what it will be in another 6 months. How much will it be worth is my question. Anyone? Thanks.

meat and potatoes..how many visitors?

Is it a music site? Or a porn site? Or 3 million visitors a month looking to buy a house? 3 million visitors looking for free screensavers? Value depends on what you've got..

Just one thing we need to know. What's the URL address of this site? 3 million visitors to a free email card service is a lot different in value then 3 million visitors to an online shopping site.

Also, I checked your home page out. Not bad. Only thing I would change would be to have a way for people to leave their email address so they can be notified when you go live with http://www.siteoven.com

Without providing the domain name and "average unique visitors", its impossible to say. Hits don't mean anything.

I am sorry, i can not disclose the URL at this time. It is not a porn site, nor is it an MP3 site. Its a computer gaming / hardware review, etc. site. We are starting to sell hardware this month. We wanted to get a good userbase before we started selling. So far this month, we have a reported 760,000 unique IPs thats not counting return visits, etc. By hits i meant visitors, not page views or anything like that. Problem with IPs is the dynamic IP assignment for modem users. You can have the smae ip and several different people and reversed. I am in now way considering selling the website, just asking for estimated value for the future. Once we reach 5 million i will give you the URL as well.

Thanks on the siteoven.com - we are finishing up the website at this time. We are a web design, marketing and promotion company. You give us your idea and we package it up and create your image. Great idea on the email notification form - will do. We are simply overrun with clients, we are finishing up two hosting companies as well as several portals and private clients.

very true. 1 visit on 1 page could generate 20,000 hits.

ok. i submitted my post at the same time as your explanation.

when you talk about hits, page views and visitors, they are 3 different numbers.

visitors is the best indicator of how successful your web site is. one visitor could visit more than one page, so the page view usually higher than visitor number. one page may contains 1,000 of small or hidden graphic, each graphic generate a hit. So one page may get 1 hit (for plain HTML) or 1,000 hits (for heavy images page)

I am sorry, my mistake then. I meant hits as in visits. Over 3 million visitors to the website.

Anyway, when we hit 5, you guys think we can pull some value out of selling the whole thing?

How are you going to get to 5,000,000 visitors if the site URL is a secret?

Hi, I cant resist.... maybe I'M from another planet, maybe am crazy, I don't know you tell me guys...

I REALLY don't understand why someone will say: " i can not disclose the URL at this time" on a site that get 3m visits per month, if the site get all that traffic means that has an exposure very high on Internet, actually you even said that its promoted on News Papers and on the net so I DONT understand the :" i can not disclose the URL at this time".

Again, maybe I'M from another planet, you tell me.

The "package" concept is a good one. It works if you have the mindset of "quality" and not "quantity". In the short run it may cost more money, but in the long run you will benefit from repeat business and referrals (word-of-mouth).

As many web design companies out there offering promotion services you'd think the internet would be stock full with good, quality sites. From my research, this is not the case. The reason: A lot of these design companies haven't hired the right people to do the quality work that is required for sustainablity. My philosphy is hire a FEW good designers/marketers and have them do a smaller stable volume.

3 million visitors is huge enough to do business. what are you waiting for?

300 people walk into your restaurant and you don't service them? tell them, hey come back 2 months later when I have 500 prospective customers?

oh, by the way, my restaurant will be moving to somewhere else, you have to read the papers everyday to find out.

Well, maybe he doesn't want the backlash that can be common among community sites when they find out that the owner is selling.

There was a little of that before this site was sold, wasn't there?
