I just tell them to read the license for the content, which they haven't got, and to take our content off the site. Or buy a new license again.

VenusBlogger, welcome to my world. Most of these guys didn't want to spend much on the product you guys sell for years.

You're such a dick. And who the fuck wants your shitty content anyway? :disgust

add some more money to the price if it's a good domain. some buyers don't care about the site/traffic and just want the domain to develop in the future.

Why is there always someone in a thread that has to ruin the whole damn thing with dick head comments or opinions?

For the OP...it's tough to say. Your best bet is to roughly decide how much time you put in and how much you are netting with your sites in total each month. If it makes sense to collect 3-6 months of revenue that is if you can get it now instead of holding them then sell. If it doesn't then maybe you should hold onto them. Just my opinion.

Of course take into consideation some sites are worth different prices to different companies.

If you told them: "Hey no prob, I know the content was legitimately licensed. I'll just send you another license straight away", you would probably earn more in terms of reputation and people would remember it next time they are buying more content. :2 cents::2 cents:

good point and all we do is write a new license for the new owner to sign and charge a small admin fee when we are contacted. It's the people who ignore the license we have problems with. They don't bother to stick to it and sell the content as their own, including it in the price of the site.

So the question is, should people ignore the rules?

Pay site?
Free site?
Niche?
Traffic?
Software?
Domain?
How long has it been up?
Recent income?
Long term income?

= Case by case.

Last 30 days income x 6.

I bought a brick and mortar business last year for 5 months revenue, lol.

Paul, I fear we are playing the same record over and over again.
I'll play mine once more, with the utmost respect but also a bit of puzzlement.

If you licensed your content to Mr.Brown, and Mr.Brown resells/relicenses it, he is a very bad guy if he is not authorized by you. You have all reasons to go after Mr. Brown.

But if you licensed your content to Brown Inc., and Brown Inc. sells shares to Mr.Pink, the legal status of Brown Inc. in respect to your licensed content, doesn't change. The licensee is still Brown Inc, and Mr.Pink just has some shares. Brown Inc. does not need to buy new Windows licenses, or renew any existing contract, just because Mr.Pink is now a shareholder.

This is how it works in any "normal" business. Your license contract is likely to follow the same rule. But in case you managed to insert any special clause there which says "every time Mr.Pink buys a share you need to re-licence", then 1) I doubt it is legal 2) in case it is, it is probably a bad business idea. It makes your content virtually unsellable to anyone who pays the due attention to what is written there.

Good luck anyways, I am meaning well and with no irony!

I think Paul is beyond caring about reputation or future goodwill. Paul is about the $ in hand today.....

Most of the content you are selling was shot so long ago that the models are now grandmothers. They probably have the licenses but don't know it because the ink has evaporated ! :)

Oh and to the OP, the answer is that it is impossible to estimate what a site is worth without

[a] knowing the name of the site
[b] looking at traffic and revenue and how solid and sustainable each is
[c] knowing what other factors (reputation, niche, market share, etc) might make the site worth more to somebody.

You forgot the actual product, but right otherwise. The idiots here who think it's worth three to 6 months income are probably chancing their luck.

Lagcam and alf6300 if you ever bought content off of us, then I will happily rewrite the license for the new owner to sign. If you didn't :321GFY
