How do You Determine Asking Price when You Sell a Website?
Reprinted with permission of VotanWeb.com
When you have finally made the difficult decision to sell your website the first thing that needs to be established is the asking price. Setting the asking price is not an arbitrarily process.
If a website is priced well below where it should be, two things will most likely happen: First, you will not sell the business for the profit you should and you and or your co-owners/shareholders have been poorly served at best. And second, you might find that you will have more trouble selling it than if priced appropriately higher.
If your website is priced too low, it will appear to most buyers that the deal must be too good to be true. And we all know what we have been told about that. So beware, low pricing may actually scare away otherwise interested buyers. Of course, it goes without saying that if the website is priced too high then there will be little or no interest on the part of serious buyers. An irrational asking price is not going to help you achieve your goal of finding a buyer for your website.
Now that we have discussed the importance of pricing and what not to do, let me next say there is no exact science for coming up with an exact asking price. We must deal with a strange mix of art and science.
The best asking price is that which will attract the greatest number of potential buyers. In our effort to determine this optimal price, we must resort to guidelines and “rules of thumb.” One of the most popular “rules of thumb” being used today is the Cash-flow or Revenue Multiple Method. Essentially you multiply your annual pre-tax earnings by some multiple of x and you have your price range. When a website has little or no earnings, then a similar method is applied on the revenue number. Both buyers and sellers widely use this method because of the relative consistency and measurability. Also for buyers, they can easily determine their ROI (return on investment) as the multiple can be viewed as some number of years. For instance, XYC.com has annual net profits of $500,000 and they will use the range of for a low-end of two times (or “2 X” as you will often hear) and an upper range of six times.

...othing more than repressed contents, these contents being constellated around the figure of the father. (Palmer, 1997, 164). It would seem that Freud went above and beyond to dispel religion as a healthy essential practice for the growth of society but rather saw it as a weakness. That many of Freud’s theories have stood the test of time is tantamount to his title as the ‘Father of Psychoanalysis’ although many have been tweaked or adjusted to suit today’s conditions. It would be unwise to completely ignore Freud’s views on religion but I think we can conclude that they are somewhat flawed.

Deterrence is a very effective method in achieving the goals of criminal sentencing. If society knows its punishment for a crime, this may be the entire deterrent necessary to prevent a crime from happening. However, if the crime is still committed then society must do what is required to deter the next possible criminal from performing the criminal act. This could be a vital step in the ongoing battle between the good guys and the bad guys.
Even though there are criminals who will weigh the risks of breaking the law and calculate the overall personal gain verse the consequences; the deterrence theory is believed to assist in cutting down on crime. Criminologists contend the certainty of fear of being caught committing a criminal act is enough to discourage violation of the law.
Freud reflects wryly on the views of Rolland and acknowledges religion as a playtime for pleasure. Plausible for Freud’s argument would be a baby. When an infant is born, instincts activate allowing the baby to know something just happened. Aware that he/she no longer lives in the mother, the baby still communicates through yells and comfort to receive the comfort and affection of mother. One comfort or pleasure can be the
The Psychology of Religion is composed of a variety of different perspectives, which in certain cases proves difficult in determining both the clinical and pastoral implications of a theory. Modern-day psychology has demonstrated possible beneficial results in religious spiritual individuals, however, much of the current research has avoided questioning the “real” presence of the Divine or a Higher Being. Although a century has passed since his undertaking of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud readily settled the question of religion by declaring it a form of mental illness. While Freud’s Psychology of Religion is that religion only exists as a neurosis, his view provides the three clinical implications of hypnotism, free association, and dream analysis, each of which have also remained a source of criticism.

The use of punishment as a threat to prevent people from committing crimes is knows as deterrence. Deterrence also has a role to make the person or persons feel afraid or anxious. It rests on the theory that it is feasible to deter the rest of society from lousy conduct by arresting and chastising those as the example to others, even if th...
Price is the amount of money paid by customers to purchase the product. Margin account should be taken into account in the decision as a response to the possibility of a competitor according to quickmba, 2004. The price which is creates sales revenue.

These days’ criminal justice policies sometimes are based on the foundations of Deterrence Theory. For example programs such as boots camps for teenage offenders and “scared straight” programs continue to rely on the deterrence theory. Criminologists are working in the direction of expanding the deterrence concepts from certainty, severity, and celerity. Deterrence theory is common used in routine
Priceline is one of the Web’s most well-known companies.

According to (Wisniewski, 2007), second language learning process differs from first language acquisition, with the latter taking place usually from infancy in a community using a specific language and affected mainly by neurological developments in the brain (McCain, 2000) while the former taking place usually in schools or later in life and affected by age and associated characteristics (McCain, 2000).
