What is fair market value for a website?
I was approached by someone who wanted to purchase one of my websites.
The Jada Pages
Fansite dedicated to Jada Pinkett Smith
http://thejadapages.8m.com
The offer made to me was $2,000.00. I doubt that such is a fair offer in
light of the search engine rankings. However, beyond knowing $2,000.00 is
too low, what would be a fair market value for my website? Are search engine
rankings the best method for gauging a website's perceived value?
My website is ranked on the following engines for the following terms:
"Jada Pinkett Smith"
#1 on Excite
#2 on Hotbot
#3 on AOL Search
#8 on Google
#8 on Yahoo
#8 on Netscape
#9 on Alexa
#14 on MSN
#2 on Search Scout
#9 on Profusion
#9 on Wisenut
"Jada"
#3 on AOL Search
#6 on Excite
#6 on Google
#6 on Alexa
#6 on Netscape
#6 on Yahoo
#13 on MSN
#13 on Hotbot
"Jada Pinkett"
#2 on MSN
#2 on Hotbot
#5 on Excite
#6 on AOL Search
#8 on Yahoo
#9 on Google

#25 on Lycos
"Will and Jada"
#1 on AOL Search
#1 on Netscape
#1 on Excite
#2 on MSN
#2 on Hotbot
#6 on Yahoo
#6 on Google
#6 on Alexa
With this in mind, what do you think is fair market value for this website?
Should I take the money and run? Please advise...
