What’s Your Blog Worth?

Written by nickel - 18 Comments

I just ran across a fun little tool for estimating the value of your blog. This calculator uses: (1) the dollar-to-link ratio of the AOL-Weblogs, Inc. deal, and (2) the number of incoming links that your site has (according to Technorati). Despite being wildly inaccurate, it’s kind of fun to play around with. Now I just need to find someone willing to pay me $47,985.90 for this site! So… What’s your site worth?

The old AllThingsFinancial is still worth more than the new AllThingsFinancial.

You might get $0 if your URL is just an alias. For example, http://www.smartbohemian.com is worth $0 but the address it maps to, http://mbmason.blogspot.com, is worth about $2800.

Maribeth,
It’s all based on incoming links from Technorati, if you have people linking to http://www.smartbohemian.com instead of mbmason.blogspot it would be “worth” more.

If it is not getting traffinc from search engines than it is worthless.

Yeah, it seems like a better gauge of site value would be the number of incoming links indexed by Google, or some such.

I’m a regular reader of your blog, and am impressed with your content.

When you have a moment, please email me:

(I have some ideas that might help both of our finance-related blogs…)

I run “Shai Dardashti on Grahamian Value” - a site devoted to Value Investing, Warren Buffett, and - of course - Ben Graham.

Since July the site has recorded 35,000 page views from 42 countries (including Saudi Arabia, Zimbabwe, Australia, Thailand, etc.)

Thank you,
Shai Dardashti

It’s been a good week for me. Financial Revolution just shot up from $0 to $1,693.62. I put in an order to sell once it hits $50,000. Anyone want to buy an option?
