I have a website that I set up about 8 years ago, info-x.co.uk

It's basically an online community of techies. It's very popular. Last month it recieved 1.25million hits (over 100,000 sessions).

I just don't have the time to maintain it anymore, in fact I've given it no attention for over 6 months so the traffic levels could be much higher.

One of the members on the site who is very active in looking after the forums has offered to buy it from me - I am waiting for him to give me a figure.

My question is: how much could I get for this site? Do you know of anywhere online I can advertise it for sale?

If anyone is interested in looking at the stats, please go to http://www.keyone.co.uk/webstats-login.asp and log in as username infox, password infox.

    Hi Duane,

    Couple of points for you to consider...

    1 - Don't quote website hits, they are meaningless and do not give a true indication of traffic. Unique users/page views are much more accurate

    2 - How much profit per month is the site making? Generally you could expect 10-18 times the monthly profit

    3 - Be very, VERY sure you want to sell the site ;) I know this may seem obvious but I sold webmasteredge.com a few years ago to an American firm. It was getting about 250K page view per month and making reasonable money. I was chatting to the guy who bough it not so long ago and the traffic has now increased five fold. God only knows what the earnings are now ;)
