There has been a lot of discussion lately on this board about selling sites and their value. I know of at least two discussions on this subject; one regarding Juice selling his sites and a very involved discussion regarding ilinktrade. I also saw part of a discussion in which it was mentioned that one way to set the price of a site was .50 per page for the amount of monthly page views. Therefore a site with 100,000 monthly page views would sell for $50,000.00. What are your thoughts on setting the sale price of a site? While I understand that there cannot be any set formula, (ie: some sites have better domain names then others, deal with more popular subjects or are better designed), there must be some type of ballpark formula or range for selling sites and what sites are worth, along with knowledge that people may have with regard to what some sites have been sold and purchased for.
