I'm trying to find out how much my website is worth

dalyboy · 21-03-2013 12:31am #1

I want to sell a website I own. It's www.ulovephones.com ,I started the site 4 years ago but never really marketed the site apart from some YouTube videos and some private classified ads. I have secured approx 50 sales since its inception. Around €2500 gross profit with €0 amount invested in the site. Can anyone tell me is the domain name AND full website itself worth anything? I would be signing over the domain name and ecommerce website to secure a sale. Any info would be very welcome. Dave

What do you actually know? Just the domain name?

It's worth very little especially as it seems to list phones that belong in a museum. Any good hosting package generally comes with an ecommerce package that gives the same as yours. So you're basically left with the domain name. TBH I'd say money would be better spent on Google adwords.

Not a lot to be honest ..

Design is cack, needs to be redone and you have no customers so im assuming no traffic..
I,d personally take a 100 notes if i was offered it.
Domain name isnt appealing on any level i guess :S

The design is a template. See the link at the bottom of the site. I would imagine the domain name is the only thing that can actually be sold.
The name isn't too catchy but maybe the traffic gives it value?

Thanks for the helpful replies guys. I did'nt put much marketing into this site so the level of customers was dismal. I got fleeced on the set up costs of this site back in 2007 or so when website builders could charge what they liked. I paid €1300 for the original set up and template and €50 p.a hosting fee. Having the site has secured sales indirectly over the years so I still made a slight profit on it. However I purchased a set up of a new website last year which I paid €65 for and it looks much more professional and theres NO hosting fee. You live and learn.
