My blog is worth $125,327.88.
How much is your blog worth?

Tristan Louis crunches the numbers on the AOL-Weblogs deal. He figures out that at $25 million valuation, each inbound site (as per Technorati) is worth $564.54.

Inspired by Tristan Louis’s research, I’ve created this little applet which computes and displays your blog’s worth using the same link to dollar ratio as the AOL-Weblogs Inc deal.

How Do You Value A Blog?

A question frequently posed is how is a blog valued? Before we all assumed it was readership and traffic numbers. We’ve now come to realize that quality is certainly valued over quantity. Steve Rubel even mentioned that “1.0″ thinkin…

$32,743.32 - now I know what I’m worth when I sit down at the table with AOL one day … but, alas, seeing big business usually get it wrong I can easily get away with adding another zero or two ;-)

Nice feature. I noticed that it’s not xhtml-compliant. To do that:
- specify alt-tags for the image
- use & instead of ‘&’ as variable-delimiter

Would be fun to make it a Wordpress plugin for example… interesting.

Thanks for this; very good idea :)

Regards,

Marco

I just used your calculator to get an overview of who’s worth what in the Belgian Blogosphere.

My blog is worth $259,123.86. And that is just my main blog, I guess the other will do fine too.
But could there ever be someone foolish enough to pay that much money for Attu Sees All? Don’t think so.

Very cool applet, thanks, even though my blog is currently worthless, it’s nice to have a metric to work towards. Does anyone know how I can find the Technorati “Sources” for a particular URL?

I can’t understand how my ranting is worth over $77,000.

When does the cheque arrive?

Mine is worth 177K, but I’m generously selling it for HALF this price (time limited offer, comes with free Wordpress plugins !)

I just recently started a blog, and I put anything there -from moveis, to video games, entertainment, but as much as possibl, I avoid politics. My question is, how do I make my blog worth something? Coz my friends’ blogs arer worth 20k. does it depend on the advertsiements, the num,ber of visitors? please tell me.. and what can i do to increasemy visitors stats?
thanks!
Andreas Viklund on May 8th, 2006 at 3:33 pm

My blog was worth $952.000. That is insane.

I would honestly sell it for half that amount, if someone would want to buy it. ;)
Andreas Viklund on May 8th, 2006 at 5:29 pm

Ok, strike that. I’m over 2 millions. What just happened?

Hello Dane, a fun tool, but I can not believe that people take this seriously and not for entertainment only.
Deezar on July 18th, 2007 at 10:21 pm

Cool tool. I’m a little late finding it, but my blog came in at $138,876.84.

I would like to announce that I’m having a 90% off sale. I would be happy to give my blog away for only $13,887. Act now!

Thanks again for a cute little tool.
