Internet Business Opportunity Buy/Sell Indicator Turns Positive For Buyers

This month the Buy/Sell Indicator returned to a Buyer’s Market. While the negative affects on some Internet businesses, such as the Appraisal Leads business which sold in September for less than 20% of the Asking Price, are dramatic most are selling for 70% to 90% of their Asking Price. This is, of course, beneficial to the Buyer who is saving up to a full point multiple of the Asking Price (or one year’s cash flow/SDE).

While in the July of 2007 I predicted the Seller’s Market would return by November 2007 no one, including me, predicted to see this nasty economy.

The average number of new Internet Business Opportunities in my database has increased some 15% since the beginning of November. The Asking Price multiples have declined by 5% since September 1. The Sale Price, as a percentage of Asking Price, has declined an average of 27%.

Ecommerce drop shipping and inventory based Internet businesses have witnessed the sharpest spread between Asking Price and Sale Price. The one bright spot is passive income, where values have increased nearly 20% since the beginning of 2008.

Publishing/Directory Internet businesses retain the smallest spread between Asking and Sale Price. This may change should the price paid for click-through advertising decline. So far in 2008 the Keyword Bid Index© increased from $2.26 to $2.54.

What does this mean? In my opinion, based on 20+ years in the Online/Internet world, we may be experiencing a fundamental shift in Internet businesses. This is not a “doom and gloom” prediction. Merely that the rapid growth phase of Internet businesses will experience slower growth.

There are subcategories that will remain in rapid growth mode; such as Web 2.0 sites. Sites that focus on more than just text, but add audio and video to their mix. Sites that focus on quality (Google calls it an “Authority Site”) and rank in results in Social Bookmarking and Social Networking site (think of it as the “human” indexed search engine).

One means for you to determine whether your target category of Internet business will give you growth and a return on your investment is the Viccissitude Ratio created by Internet Business Guide. It measures the primary factor of “competition”. It aids you in determining whether your category of Internet business has room for competition’; or is currently overcrowded.
