What Is Your Site Worth?
Bloglyne.com Is Worth Somewhere Between $61.48 - $9,032.64!
Which one do you believe?
Right now, today Pingoat.com shows my site being worth about $61.48 according to Technorati – What, you don’t believe me? You can see it right there on my sidebar!
I ran across Pingoat.com recently while commenting and writing about the article, “Tricks and Tools for Affiliate Blog Building – HOT Video” on 5 Star Affiliate’s site.
It started to get me to think about how we value our sites, and how much work we put into them… It sure feels like I have put in more time than $61.48 – I must be working for about $0.03/hour *grins* Hopefully, it will get better, right?!?!
How do you determine the value of your site?
Heck – how does anybody? By the hours you put in, by the traffic the site generates, by the REAL traffic the site generates, by your backlinks…
What is your website worth?There are certainly differing opinions. Apparently, Sootle.com believes my site is worth $405, which they claim is based on the Yahoo Developer Network.According to their FAQ, the valuations are based on the backlinks Yahoo! is listing which are associated with my site.
Another site called dnScoop.com provides a much more detailed report by apparently looking at:
- Google Pagerank
- AlexaRank
- Indexed Pages for
- Google, MSN, Yahoo!, AlltheWeb, and AltaVista
- HTTP Status
- Domain keyword popularity
- Site category
- Age of domain and a few other factors
It looks like dnScoop was a little more conservative than Sootle, but much more liberal than Pingoat. With this tool, it is not just looking at backlinks or Alexa traffic or even keywords. It appears that dnScoop is taking a larger view of site worth and using multiple sources of data to check value. I will try to get in touch with the site owner to find out if they will provide any more detail on how they are weighting each item and if there are plans to provide recommendations for improvements beyond their affiliate links.
The winner by far and the one I will choose to remember is the Business Opportunities Weblog, which valued Bloglyne.com at $9,032.64! This is based on Technorati’s links and inspired by Tristan Louis and the AOL-WeblogsInc deal.

Business Opportunities Weblog valued one of my blogs at $18,065.28.
Well, it is a high-ranking (#1 usually) site on Google for its main keyword so maybe it is. If only it made that much money per month.
