I'm surprised that it isn't worth more.
P.S. Eric you rich, rich man . . . I envy you.

i'd hardly consider those facts - i'd call them "interesting speculative guesses" at best. :)
Our chess site is worth the most!! woot!!
I wonder why, with such revenues, I still see Erik and Jay around, instead of spending all tehir time on a beach in Ibiza :)
Speculative to be sure.
This site simply takes the daily page-view stats and assumes $0.003 in ad revenue per pageview to get a daily ad revenue. Once they've that, they simply turn it into an annual amount and use a multiplier of 2 to get an "estaimated worth".
Presumably this is meant to give some indication what the domain "www.chess.com" is worth, not the business which, of course, has other sources of revenue.
As a result, I'd say the estimate is most certainly low. The revenue is grossly understated and the P/E ratio used enirely too conservative.
I have a specualtive guess of my own and it's much, much higher than $600,000.

Spot on Grobe the analysis from that site is wholly one dimensional and lacking any financial insight. The other key sources of revenue need to be included memberships for example.
1 million members
15%-25% paying let's be conservative 15% at on average Gold membership @ $60/annum
That's $9,000,000 we need the net income so that would require a stab at the costs to run the business for a year.
Say that's $6,000,000.
Net income $3,000,000
A reasonable P/E ratio then for a high growth internet service company would be at least 10.
The most conservative estimate I can get to would be ~ $30,000,000.
But then what do I know I'm only the CEO of Wales?
Yes TheGrobe, nicely done..
if you look at a year back or so (i forget)
Google.. (i think) tried to buy yahoo (i believe..) for 55 billion dollars (correct me if i'm wrong).
So when you do some math, its worth alot more!
Thanks Kobe!!
Your here to save the day... but not to beat the buzzer. :)
WOW!
wow...
the CEO is greedy..
dude...
50 BILLION is enough to live for 100000 Years, and yet he is greedy and wants even more money?? wow.
This is a rather distasteful thread...
Really?
I swear it tasted liek chocolate :)
yes it is spam
