Determining Your Websites Value
Determining what your websites market value could become an important number to you. Especially if your site targets a niche audience. Of course, you wouldn't want that niche audience to be something like “ a make money on the internet” niche. That's because there is far too many of those already. You need your niche to be as unsaturated as possible. So pick a niche like bubblegum.
Of course, you need to find someone who is willing to pay the money for your site. A lot of the time this money will come from venture capitalists. Usually these types will want to consider at least three things.
They will want to know how much they have to spend to get new prospects to login and join. They will want to know how often the visitors return to the site. (Often referred to as stickiness) . There will be questions about add on services and things like premium accounts
These questions will likely be asked before there is a value put on the site. So , our next question is, how do we value a site? Some entrepreneurs say that is the site brings in say, 12k a year, then that is it's value. Other sources say to multiply the number of unique visitors to the site by about 38 dollars on a monthly basis. Average 2,00 unique visitors a month , your site is worth 76,000 dollars. Simple, right?
Right now the Google purchase of Double click is in the news for $ 3.5 billion or so. Myspace was purchased for about $ 550 million. And the list goes on.
My research indicates that sources that track website sales and analyze website traffic are putting the value at right around $ 38.00 per visitor.
The question here is, what can all this mean? It means if you have a high traffic website, the high tech buyouts are back. The potential to strike it rich with a dot com has returned. But only if you can sell it.
To sell the site you will need a lot more than 2,00 unique visitors. You are going to need on the order of 100,000 visitors per month to get them salivating. That's because lots of traffic is worth something in Internet advertising . Revenue projections for Advertising on the Internet are in excess of $ 13 billion right now for 2008. Do you want a piece of this action?
Repeating myself, targeting a niche audience is the way to go here. Don't target one that is already being targeted if at all possible. Social Sites are hot right now , but they all target the same group. The 18 to 40 group, it seems to me. This means they are competing for the same advertising revenue. Can you target a niche that has a different demographic? A place that advertisers would like to be but don't yet have a way to get to the niche? Would that be worth something? What would it be worth?
When you can get to the point that you have found a way to get your visitors to pay for unique services,you will be able to cash in also. The old format was to offer the user free access and then charge for the premium upgrade . Would it be cost effective to charge for information instead? Then again, would your users be willing to pay for it? Again , what would this be worth to you?
Determining how much your site is worth should start with all of the above variables , but there is more to it than this. Part of the reason is that the search engines change their algorithms quite regularly to boost their advertising revenue , and you have to adapt. But more on this later.
You almost have to go to school for this and there is an Internet university that I participate in.

Article Submission for Internet Marketing Article Marketing
In order to be a well off Internet Marketer, you will have to know how to do internet marketing article advertising. An internet marketing article can be written for free and posted for free. There are several different ways to go about writing a web site marketing article in order to drive traffic to your site.
Writing small business marketing articles or web site marketing articles is not really as hard as you may think. Obviously, understanding the rules of proper grammar and having a word processing program that has a word count feature, a spell checker and will save in one of the standard formats will make your writing project quite a bit easier. Some of the secrets I have uncovered will be discussed here.
Try not to make the project harder than it already is. Think about what you want to say and then just start writing. Get into the flow. Worrying about spelling or grammar is unnecessary because you have a spell checker. Keep writing until you have said all you want to say. Article marketing will become easier as you get more practice.
Hopefully , you already know what the product is that you want to sell. This will help to keep you from getting stressed out over the topic and writing your internet marketing article. You can visit forums where your customers will be participating in order to get an idea of what your customer will respond to in your article marketing. Try to write your articles around answering questions that your customers are asking.
The optimum length of a small business marketing article should be about 500 words, with the range being between 300 to 750 words. Using the word counter is important here to make your article marketing efficient and to make sure you stay in the proper range.
Submitting your internet marketing article right away may not be the best way to do it. It is probably better to read and review what you said and possibly have someone else proof read it. You want to get some article marketing constructive criticism here.
A website marketing article is written mainly to provide information and to lead your prospects to your website. This is not exactly a sales letter, since most of your selling will be done by the website. Sales letters that are too obvious will turn off your readers and possibly damage your credibility and give you the wrong type of viral marketing.
Internet marketing articles should stay on track. That means you have to stick to your original plan and not deviate away from your subject. You must stay focused on your subject.
Writing a small business marketing article should be done like you are talking to a friend . Keep your words simple and use everyday language and allow your personality to shine through. A little humor doesn't hurt. With practice, you will learn how to build a relationship with your readers.
