Anyways, rather than shooting in the dark, let’s take the aid of these website worth calculators to find out how much really is our website worth.

3. AdSense Benchmark tool

• Save

Using this free tool by SEMRush, you can find how much a website has potential to make from Google AdSense. This tool is handy when you are buying/selling a website which is primarily monetised using Google AdSense.

Now whatever value this tool shows, the site potential selling price could be anywhere from 20x-50x. So according to AdSense valuation tool, ShoutMeLoud.com is worth only $845000, even if we take 50x as multiple. However, the fact is we make more than $16,900 a month, and this is one reason I always recommend our readers to use Affiliate marketing over AdSense to monetise a website.

4. Ahrefs Traffic value

This is another smart way to identify the real worth of a website. Ahrefs which is a popular SEO tool shows the traffic value of a website.

• To use this feature, login to your Ahrefs account and go to Site explorer.
• Enter the domain name of the website (Could be yours or others)
• And it would show you the traffic value

• Save

According to Ahrefs traffic value feature, the estimated value of ShoutMeLoud’s target’s monthly organic search traffic is $199K

And even if we do 35x for this, the potential selling price for ShoutMeLoud should be $199K * 35.

You can use this to identify the website worth using their traffic SEO value, which is idle most times.

Over to you: What is the real worth of your website?

Doing a website valuation test gives an idea about the true potential of a website. It is also the gateway to the world of buying/selling website, which is a lucrative online business in itself. A lot of online marketer I know who are into this business, and are comfortably making 6-7 figures income by flipping websites.

There are a few important factors which contribute to proper buying/selling of a website, such as:

• SOP ( Standard operating procedures ) – This is a document which constitute how day to day activity are done. Having this document for a big site is essential, and helps the new owner to quickly integrate your process with their own.
• Income and expense record: To get the right valuation, you should be maintaining a proper book of accounts, or atleast have a clear income and expense report.
• Transferrable accounts: If you running an affiliate website, you should be in a position to transfer everything to new owner. This is one reason I highly recommend to use a business email like [email protected] to signup for business related stuff.

Ofcourse there are more factors to this when you plan to sell the website, and platforms like Empire Flippers, Flippa are doing a great job to help online business owners sell their website at a great multiple.
