What’s Your Blog Worth?

Written by Nickel - 18 Comments
  •  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?

    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.

    jim Says:

    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.

    nickel Says:

    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?
