Does Google ban websites too with publisher?

Hey guys,

I have recently been banned by google .....
But i think it's some people close to me who have did this to get me banned.

My question is if i sell my site to someone else will google accept my site with different publisher????

I am planning to sell my site.
I get around 1000 visitors a day..... But this thing has come to my mind will they accept my site again???? With different owner?????

Also can anyone tell me what should be the site's selling price??? getting 1000 visitors a day.

Last month it was 1000 visitors a month so i see gr8 future of it.

Thanks.

Site is http://www.freegamey.com

Honestly, nobody here can speak for Google. If Google can verify that it is someone else for sure, it shouldn't be a problem. However, depending upon the history of the account and problems with it, this might be one that you'd have to sell to an existing AdSense publisher. What I would do is take those Google ads off now because they are nothing more than error messages and it make your site look like it's broken.

As far as sales price goes, unique visitors alone says nothing for what you can charge for the site. Pageviews have no value. It's the value of the advertising that gives value to the site. How much money can be made from the site? And can you prove this?

What you are trying to sell is a business that is supported by advertising, and that's not an easy thing to do. Advertising prices are determined by the value of running ads from your server. If your visitors are a crowd that buys, then there is value. If they are kids who buy nothing, they aren't. Buting a website is also a risky business. It could be gone and out of the search engines tomorrow.

So figuring the cost of the business is done like this. Gross revenue - costs = Net revenue. Now you have to determine how many months of net revenue you should use for a base. With most websites, 6-12 months is the max. The more stable the site revenue, the longer you can use. So if you net out $200 per month, you might get between $1200-$2400 for the site. And that is IF someone wants to wait a full six months to one year to recover their investment and IF you own all the content on your site. If you don't, then your site can be easily duplicated and there's not much value.

If you do not have any income to show on the site, then the best you are going to be able to do is figure out the potential, and you would generally use a CPM model here. Figure a $1 CPM rate so if 1000 people per day saw 2 pages each, that's 2000 page views. If you figure 2 ads per page, that's 4000 ad views or $4 per day income potential.

If your figures are anything like that, that really isn't worth buying for most people. How much would I spend to make $100-$300 per month on a new site? Not much. It would use up too many of my time resources for the money. On the other hand, if it produces several thousand a month, that's another story.

My personal advice is to stick with it for awhile, build the value and then try to sell it. Even though it is up to 1000 visitors per day now and was only 1000 per month last month, that shows no stability or income potential. You could have something or you could have just got lucky. There's no way of knowing with a one month history of success.

Thanks Papadoc... for devoting so much time to my post. Ya you are right that 1 month is not enough to judge about site.

I dont want to sell it either but i have something better in mind which needs funds thats it....

I love my site and its getting popular day by day on its own. I havent even made a banner for it n have not even link exchanged with more than 3-4 sites.

20% of my traffic is from msn search my site ranks within top ten results for about 20-30 good keyphrases.

I thought there is some price for good domain name too apart from traffic and i have got lot of complements for the domain name.

Anyways thanks buddy once again

I understand what you are saying, but for search purposes, there just isn't all that much value in a domain name itself because one domain registers as well as the next.

The value comes in if someone is going to advertise it offline and expect others to remember it. Your name is decent, but not so much that it has much value.

Want to test the waters? Ask those who have complemented your name how much they will pay you for it. There's a difference between paying a compliment and writing a check. There's no committment required in the former.
