FacebookI 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.

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,

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?
