Carbwire.com Blog For Sale

August 1st, 2005 • Related • Filed Under

How much is a blog worth? Carbwire.com has put itself up for sale with a starting price of $10K for bids or a buy now price of $25K. Thankfully they have posted some metrics for any potential buyers.

However, I think their valuations are a bit rich:

  • Average annual income $4,200
  • Average monthly page views 65K
  • Average unique visitors 30K

At $10K that would be 2.4x earnings and at £25K a whopping 6x earnings! Remember that all that is for sale is a domain and some traffic - the current runners of the site will be pocketing the money and booking a nice holiday somewhere.

Anybody paying willing to pay these prices must be crazy.
