What’s Your Blog Worth?
Tip It!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.

Jim,
That NYT article really did a lot for your blog.
October 27th, 2005 at 11:11 pm
huzzah. it’s $17,500.74 now. like all of you, I laugh at this.
but yeah that NYT made Jim flithy rich!

I’m bringing in the rear! Just over $10,000 for me.
October 28th, 2005 at 2:11 pm
yeah, and i have these baseball cards and comic books in my basement worth MILLIONS.
October 28th, 2005 at 6:25 pm
My primary was also $0.
Fun little game. Thanks for sharing!

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.
October 29th, 2005 at 12:30 pm
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.
October 30th, 2005 at 8:15 pm
Yeah, it seems like a better gauge of site value would be the number of incoming links indexed by Google, or some such.

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?
