How do you value a website?

It means you must have to be updated with new techniques and policies by Google to run a website. Do not focus only on quantity but quality is more important than quantity. So, you must provide concise and valuable information to your clients and develop good business relationships with other websites to be successful.

Being in this field for only 5 years, I am now beginning to feel that a website has different values for different people. A guy asked one of my site to sell him for $400 , but in the beginning, I asked few people what would be the value. They said around high $80 or $90. I had a good domain name thats but hadn't done anything with it. It was about movies, trailers of new movies.

So a dime for someone could be a gold coin for someone. The value of website depends person to person If you find right person, you will get good $$$.

Still not sure what relevance that has to valuing a website? Quality/Quantity arguments and Google T&C's is all fine and good when you are running a site, but the original question is how do you value a website?

Whats become apparent from this thread is their appears to be no Holy Grail formula you can apply, so it goes down to factors you can calculate, traffic, age, revenue, reputation and good old gut feel

Very true, but I was thinking more of an established website, which is a going commercial concern, rather than a simple site for a couple of hundred dollars.

But all interesting comments

I value my site with number of visitors and ranking on Google search rankings. Without these two my site is valueless.

For me the value of websites depends on how much money it makes and how much visitors visit the site.
