Hi Guys,

I'm thinking for a while now on selling smartphonenews.net with its website,

(it's a wordpress based autoblog - all graphics of this website are 100% unique!)

But I'm still not sure which is the best way to go -

Should I sell only the domain name ?

or

Should I include its website with it ?

What do you think I should do - Which way would be more profitable ?

P.S. - Please appraise this domain name and tell me what you think it's worth,

Thanks :)

Well, hope it helped a bit :)

The name alone has zero value. The traffic, plus name and website are worth a multiple of the revenue the site generates. How much money are you making per month? Take that number and multiply it by 18-36 and you have an estimate. That is if you can prove the source of traffic and the revenue are real and consistent.

If it isn't making any money, it is worthless. 1,000 hits per month could mostly be bots. What are you using to count traffic?

First of all Rick, I would like to personally thank you for your insights & advice about my domain name,:)

Now, I use only Awstats at this point, for my monetization (+ adsense),

I do get a lot of organic traffic from google from the Search Keyphras - "smartphone news" about 81 % - I am on page 1 for that Keyphras - so that has to be good, right!

and I do get some adsense revenue from the site - but not as much as I could get the site to earn if I would spend more time on getting more traffic in to it.

So, basically what you're saying is - the domain has no value on its own, and I should spend my time on increasing the organic traffic of the site and get it to earn some consistent revenue - and that should give it some more value! - enough to be sold.

OK... so now I have some thinking to do :?:

Rick, again, appreciate the advice,

Thanks a lot :cool:
