Find Out How Much Your Website Is Worth

If you are looking to buy or sell a website you'll want to know what it's worth.

A very 'rough' way of valuing a site is using a website value calculator at http://www.cwire.org/website-value-calculator/ .

It computes for the value based on Google and Alexa ranks and backlinks. Remember, it only serves as a guide. It does not cover other aspects of valuation.

Example:

Earnings Report for www.warriorforum.com
The following report outlines traffic levels received by the submitted URL, overviews sources of potential income, and proposes a resale value of the site based on these factors.

Alexa Traffic Ranking The site's Alexa Rank = 1,462

PageRank The site's Google Page Rank = 4

Backlink Report

* Yahoo: 121000
* Altavista: 50100
* All the Web: 49900

Average of 7,371 backlinks.


Your site is valued at: $841,653

Monthly Earning Potential

* Text Link Advertising
Your site could sell text link advertisements at a rate of approximately $1,190.15/Link/Month.

If you sell eight links, you could earn approximately $9,521.2/Month selling text links on your site.

* Affiliate Marketing
Your site could earn approximately $9,917.92/Month through affiliate marketing.

Check here for a guide to starting to work with affiliate programs, including what they are, and how to insert advertisements into your own site.


* Independent Advertising
Your site could earn approximately $3,940.14/Month through independent advertising arrangements specific to your site's niche. Take a look around to see if there are any companies which could benefit from advertising on your website.

For example, if you run a website about golf in Tampa, Florida, perhaps it would be a good idea to call a few of the local courses and see if they would like to purchase advertising, or a review on your site.

Week 7 Statistics - Goals massively exceeded!

To the right is a pic of my latests stats.

Remember just two weeks ago I said I wanted to get to 700 unique visitors for September? As at early on 24 Sept, they were a total of 1,625 unique visitors - more than double my goal!

Bryan in my Mastermind Group has completely blitzed that, he had over 6,000 visitors in 1 day(!!!) to his site beatyourdepression.com

This is what I said in the Week 5 update:

"My unique visitors total is almost exactly what I had for August (26 days) and we're only 10 days into September. Based on this I expect to at least triple the figures from last month, that is get to about 700 unique visitors for September. If I can keep tripling this figure every month, that would be awesome. That would mean 2,100 unique visitors in October, 6,300 in November and 18,900 in December. Momentum is what it's all about!"

Stats - week 7 First 23 (and a bit) days of September:

• 2,280 hits a day vs 650 hits a day 2 weeks ago vs 341 in August



• 99 visits a day (average) vs 27 in August



• my unique visitors total is now 1,625 vs 231 for the first 10 days of this month (September)
  


• visitors coming from search engines and social bookmarking is continuing to grow and is now at 40.7% vs 35% earlier in the month and 1.1% in August
  
  
• My unique visitors total is almost exactly what I had for August (26 days) and we're only 10 days into September.

Well, I well and truly exceeded my expectations!!

Setting my next goal: I want to average 200 visitors a day by the end of October (I'm halfway there) & have a list of at least 100 people (I've got less than 10 so far).

This means doubling the existing traffic. I'm doing this by modelling success. Members of my Mastermind group are easily achieving this so I know by just following what they're doing I'm going to get similar results. In fact, maybe my goal is too low? It will be interesting to see.

My list hasn't been my focus so now that driving traffic is becoming very familiar to me and is getting easier and faster, my next focus is on the list. I want to give the people who sign up for my list great value and I've been a bit lost on that. Well, until the wonderful Alicia Pierce kindly reviewed my site and gave me some tips. So over the next couple of weeks I'll be implementing those tips.

Please post your comment and let me know what you think.

Coaching Program Software - Driving Traffic to your site

Time to share about some of the great software we receive as part of the coaching program.

There are three main pieces of software I've used so far. Until last week I didn't even know about two of these, let alone realize how valuable they are when you want to create a REAL online business and not just a hobby. Now that I've used these, I don't know how I'd do without them!!

What am I talking about?

There's so much software that Stephen shares with us but for now I'm just focussing on getting started ie setting up your site and driving traffic to your site.

• FTP software makes it super easy when setting up your site to upload features, plugins (ie programs, new features etc such as Spam protection against robots leaving comments on blogs) etc.
• Smart Article Submitter allows you to write an article and submit it quickly and easily to as many article sites as you want (literally hundreds of article sites are preloaded & you can easily add more)
• Smart Forum Promoter allows you to submit postings to many forums easily and fast. You now how normally it's slow and tedious to locate forums, login, follow a thread and then post? Smart Forum Promotor automates this process. Load your favourite 10, 100, 1,000 forums into Smart Forum Promoter, write your posts and it's as easy as clicking the paste button. You can even easily customize your message for individual forums!

Speaking of driving traffic to sites, I just received today an email with another bonus from SMCC and again I'm overwhelmed. It's a website of Stephen's with videos, ebooks and workbooks on different strategies for getting traffic. The videos are in categories and there's roughly about a dozen categories from the quick glance I gave it. I'm leaving it for now, there's just too much information and I'll come back to it later when I finish the PRI$E process.

Hi guys from the coaching program, thanks for your comments. I really appreciate you! It would be great to make this a resource for other people who are wondering whether SMCC is any good so please share what you think of the software.
