So because your "associate" was an idiot and didn't know how to properly value the property/business, you assume that all buyers are also idiots? Really...

Law of averages.... only way to explain... i've had a few thus far in articles...4 or 5 probably
Twitter and facebook had the luxury of not worrying about monetization from the outset because they were building with somebody elses money. There is also the fact that social networks/media sites don't have an obvious monetization path because they receive such low CPMs.
News site on the other hand have a standard monetization path, unless you're targeting a specific niche you're going to be lucky to get sitewide CPMs of around $20, I'm guessing you'd actually be lucky to get around $2-5CPM on a broad news site without an advertising team though. Most new sites sell for 36x monthly revenue (at the high end) and 10x monthly revenue at the low end.
I would worry less about what big companies like facebook are doing and more about what smaller companies in your industry are doing (e.g huffpost) notice how they have advertisements? Maybe put a few of them on your site.
Chances are you've had adsense on your site before, made shit all and are now hoping you can find a moron to buy a site "pre-revenue" based on useless statistics like Alexa and "impressions".
Goodluck.

you sir would be wrong. I'll leave it there.
i've bought a few links from you in the past , unrelated projects.
think I'll stop for now.
None the less, My site has writers and a programmer. We're working on a custom social media platform idea, to say the least.
No, his meme is just fine the way it is.^ LOL
Put those words on an image like this and it'd be more accurate meme
I'm not so sure, I think a lot of people have made huge exits (not just in VC fuelled Silicon valley) from companies that had low (or even no) revenue.
There is a certain logic to the idea that not monetizing a site at all until you get to a certain level looks better when you are looking to be acquired.
definitely agree. I'm down to the 30k range now , kicking butt.
Over 300k impressions per month.
Im hoping to get to the 500k+ impression range and then focus on structuring site a little better for ads & revenue.
After I hit the 1 million impressions per month range, i'll think about selling depending on work load and team I have at that point.
I'd love to make my exit form the web world a 7 figure deal.
