What’s Your Blog Worth?
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?

Comment by jim — Oct 27th 2005 @ 9:27 amThe old AllThingsFinancial is still worth more than the new AllThingsFinancial.
Comment by JLP — Oct 27th 2005 @ 10:44 pmJim,
That NYT article really did a lot for your blog.
Comment by JLP — Oct 27th 2005 @ 10:45 pmhuzzah. it’s $17,500.74 now. like all of you, I laugh at this.
but yeah that NYT made Jim flithy rich!
Comment by Cap — Oct 27th 2005 @ 11:11 pmI’m bringing in the rear! Just over $10,000 for me.
Comment by Financial Fruition — Oct 28th 2005 @ 8:12 amyeah, and i have these baseball cards and comic books in my basement worth MILLIONS.
Comment by jim — Oct 28th 2005 @ 2:11 pmMy primary was also $0.
Fun little game. Thanks for sharing!
Comment by Dawn — Oct 28th 2005 @ 6:25 pmYou 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.
Comment by maribeth — Oct 28th 2005 @ 6:43 pmMaribeth,
Comment by jim — Oct 29th 2005 @ 12:30 pmIt’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.
Hahaha your Google Ad has this:

Comment by jim — Oct 29th 2005 @ 12:31 pmIf it is not getting traffinc from search engines than it is worthless.
Comment by The Real Returns — Oct 30th 2005 @ 8:13 pmYeah, 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.

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

Comment by Canadian Capitalist — Nov 3rd 2005 @ 4:51 pmIt’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?
