What most interested me is your statements about HTML sites being worht more. Is this true or does it depend on how well a database drive site is designed?

Like Rob says it depends on how easy it is for someone to maintain. A beginner with PHP and MYsql can take the whole site down with a comma in the wrong place and not realise what they have done.

can you quickly say what Sentinel does - is there a ASP version or do I not need this, I may end up using a MySQL with an ASP front end just because access is not "man enough"

Sentinel is one of several add on modules for phpnuke that are designed to stop hacking attempts. Get more info here http://www.ravenphpscripts.com however if you are using ASP then you won't need it.

I looked at the two URLs but need a quick explaination why one is better than the other - and if you know anywhere i can read more about this and how I should layout my pages before i get too in it - i would appreciate it.

The difference in the URL's is that many search engines refuse to spider the first one for fear of getting into an endless loop. Whereas the second one has no operators like & ? etc.

Plain HTML is by far the best way to develop a site from an SEO point of view but of course it has it's limitations. Database driven sites are more flexible but harder to get listed in search engines. This is why you don't see pages from places like football365.com in the google index - because it won't spider those pages (last time I looked). That goes for many top sites like bbc.co.uk etc.

I spent a long time making my site appear as if it was plain html when in fact it's completely database driven.

Does that clear it up?

I would appreciate it if you didnt make comments about my website which arnt true. You can actually email everyone whos a member of my website even if they clicked not to be on the newsletter.

Im only trying to sell my website site guys i dont need your oppinions on how to imporove it, i would rather help on how to sell it. If your all so good at making money from websites why arnt you millionares already?

Chris, I was asked to explain why I made the offer I did. That's all. I'm not making comments whch are not true - I'm merely highliting the difference between a membership base and an opt in list.

Please don't take it personally but really - if you were trying to sell a car and someone told you that you could get double for it by fitting some hubcaps, replacing the seat covers and getting the back panel resprayed you'd get the work done?

Yep

I do agree with storebuilder, he know his stuff and is only trying to help. Oh yeah and I am actually selling my car, so if any one fancies a Renualt Megane 2.0 16v coupe P reg 97, only 40,000 miles? Lol

New hub caps being fitted as we speak!

Im working on new adverts over the coming days and posting updates of reviews every day from now on.

Do you recon i could get around £800?

Chris,

Most businesses are usually capitalised on three times yearly net profit. So a site that is currently making £100 month would be worth around three grand max.

It means that anyone who bought your site could expect to realise their investment capital in three years time plus they would have the additional revenue that they added by their own efforts.

Once you have started generating revenue it proves the concept for people that you can make money out of this market and so they are more inclined to purchase your site.

Even the smallest money makers are valuable because in almost all cases you are able to build the site whilst holding down a day job and when you start adding a couple of hundred to your monthly salary the site becomes worth more to you personally than it is ever to sell it.

In any case the people you are advertising your site to on this board are more interested in short term returns from buying and selling domains so I don't think you are likely to get a sale here. Try advertising it on Sedo - they have a section for built sites.
