How to Sell a Website?
How to prove the value of a website?
How you can make a lot of money selling your website?
Most websites are sold between $ 50 and $ 10,000. The only way to
value a website is to look at its financial statements. This traditionally starts by comparing the revenue of the website with its
traffic datas to check that the whole picture makes sense.
Website
buyers are scared of scams so all the third party information you can make available to the will matter. The best way to obtain reliable traffic datas is to place a small piece of HTML code on each on your webpages.
This will be achieved through your FTP connection which allows you to updates your web-pages. It can be a little bit
time consuming to download, change and re-load each page, especially if you have a lot of pages or if you are slowed down by a bad internet connection.
It's a job to do all that work. And
it's not so fun, you must go to the bottom of the INDEX page of each page, just before the end of the body, place the code properly and check that you didn't mess up the whole design of the page by loading the new index.
So when you do it, do it well, take your time and check that you are doing the right thing. It's
a job that pays because as soon as your code is placed you start to collect datas that are very valuable and will help
you make money online.
What datas am I going to get?
Well, basically you are going to know everything about your own website.
You might not, at first, believe that you need much information but online everything is connected and a simple data such as a boost in
average time spent on a page will directly result in that page
moving up in the search engines results. More about getting traffic from search engines here:

The type of information that you will get depends on the type of code that you put on your webpages. Does that make sense?
In a nutshell: If you put a code from QuantCast, which is a
quantification company, then you will get the usual intel provided by QuantCast.
Same goes with Compete.com or for your Alexa ranking.
So which quantification company/code shall I use?
Google Analyctics is by far the most important (and urgent) code to load up. But nothing stops you from getting all the above mentioned companies to collect datas about your website.
Since it is completely
free to get quantified, you should place all the above codes on your webpage. I know, it means signing up, receiving an email with a password then going back in these four websites to sign in and that also looks like a lot of work.
Just do it like a job,
again. Why? Well, because it is completely free to get quantified
doesn't mean that it is not valuable.
In fact, getting quantified is one of the most important thing to do for your website, not only because it helps you take control of your website (and ultimately your financial life), but also because it helps you value your website.
The day you choose to sell the website that you own, you start
elaborating a sales pitch about what your website is about and why anybody should buy your website $ 10,000.
That's when you realize that being able to bring
multiple proofs of what you claim can make a huge difference between a usd 100 and
usd 10,000 deal.
The datas that potential buyers will want to see are:
- the revenue of your website.
- what types of revenue and their individual importance (%) in the total.
- how many visitors come on this website per day, per week, per month.
- how long do these people stay on each page.
- how much time do you spend per day on your website to generate this type of revenue.
There are a number of datas buyers will want you to provide them. All of the above are quantified by the usual service providers (compete, alexa, google, quantcast) apart from the last one
how much time do you spend per day on your website to generate this type of revenue?
The problem is that you cannot install codes at the time of the auction to obtain, 3 months, 6 months or a year of datas to prove the traffic of your website.
The datas are only collected from the moment wher you upload the code in the pages!
And knowing this means that you can
sell any website from three to six months after you started the data collection. This is one of the keys to
making money online selling websites.
