Default Determining the Value of a Directory

How would you determine the value of a web directory if you were to buy or sell?

What would you base a sales price or offer on if you were to consider selling/buying a general topic web directory?

monthly gross revenue X 12/15/18 months?

monthly net revenue?

do you consider the domain name as well? PR?

How I do it:

12-15 months of monthly revenue. (That is a what most buyers are willing to pay)

Age/PR/Alexa/ all factors.

Indexed pages (% supplemental) and backlinks are major factors as well.

With those standards, a price can be determined.

I think it's all about the potential of the site rather than what's doing currently though that's absolutely a good reference.

I would think of;

Main keyword ranking in G
Domain PR, Inner page PR
The last 6 months of monthly revenue. (I don't count older data)
Alexa, unique hits

Quality backlinks;
Unique domain backlinks rather than the quantity
High PR backlinks
PR/outbound link ratio
Relevancy of backlinks

Domain name (if a good keyword is in it)
