Just curious.
Its a free to join and use message boards. Lot of ads. Not cluttered with ads. But still none the less present.

How much does boards.ie make say ... every year?

When they do their accounts at the end of the year, they blow all the profits on coke and hookers, and are broke by mid Jan. Too much year left at the end of the money.

I reckon about 60k a month.

I think if you look at the ad servers sites, they advertise boards for potential buyers of advertising quite well, as having so many unique viewers each month which is alot and that advertising wouldn't come cheap.

No way, thats only €720,000 pa.

Boards.ie is turning way more than that and is worth a multiple of it. I would reckon the site is easily pulling somewhere in the region of €5k per day which translates to €150k per month and €1.8m per year. I still think thats slightly conservative considering you've pretty much offering a tailored advertising product [watch how the ads change per forums you visit] with a consistent user base. Given the market Boards is in, I'm gonna guess a multiplier of 3 off the top the top of my head and value it @ €5.4m.

Note that I have relatively no experience in valuing a business much less that of a social media one so I may be way off with those guesstimates but they would sound to the accountant in me to be broadly within that realm.

If you really want to find out hit up the CRO for the accounts and you can see what the situation was like 18months or so ago which would give you a starting point.

For shíts and giggles, i did. I downloaded the wrong file though i'd say. Only juicy bit is how much they have in the bank as at 2009. Prize for whoever gets closest!
