How to value your proxy site?
Like other sites, proxy sites are valued majorly with revenue and traffic. Apart from the revenue and traffic, the buyer does look at the design and the features of the site. Additional features and beautiful design increases the value of the proxy site.
Let’s consider an example of a unnamed popular proxy site:
A beautiful design from a good designer would be worth: 100-150 USD
Coding with script integration: 60 USD
Unique visitors per day: 2000
Revenue: 100 USD per month
Server load checker and SSL additional feature: $120
$200 for the design and the script integration is a fair price with your profit. I bought adspot on 1000 unique visitors proxy site for 25 USD per month and 2000 unique visitors adspot would cost 40 to 50USD. Multiply cost of the unique visitors with the adspot revenue to estimate value of the visitors, 40 USD x6(months) = 240 USD. Revenue is 100 USD per month. Most of the times revenue is multiplied with 12-24 months BUT since it’s a proxy site, multiply the revenue with 6 months. 6 months estimation is due to the fact that proxy sites are blocked by the schools and institutions which loses traffic and revenue. Buyer doesn’t feel safe to pay for 12 months revenue. 100 USD x 6 = 600 USD. Additional features is one of the factor by which your proxy value increases as told before, 120 USD for additional features is worth the price unless you want more profit.
Design: 200 USD
Unique Visitors: 240 USD
Revenue: 600 USD
Additional features: 120 USD
The proxy sites value estimates to 1160 USD. This should be a BIN however your reserve should be around 700-800 USD.
If the site is sold for 1160 USD, the buyer would just cover the cost within 8 months or even in 6 months if he puts more effort in the site.
