This is a question that most bloggers ask when they are thinking about selling their blogs. How do you answer this question? Should you base your sites value on your pageviews per month, monthly earnings, subscriber numbers or a combination. These are question that no one can really answer but at the present there are so many websites on the net that can help you guesstimate. Even though none of them are normally close to the real value of your site!
Where should I head to check out these tools?
Pure Blogging = $7656
Crenk = $1,437
Business-Opportunities.biz - Inspired by Tristan Louis’s research into the value of each link to Weblogs Inc, Dane created this little applet using Technorati’s API which computes and displays your blog’s worth using the same link to dollar ratio as the AOL-Weblogs Inc deal.
Pure Blogging = $210,573.42
Crenk = $80,729.22
DNScoop - This site is similar to SmartPageRank but it provides you with some additional information about your domain and then provides the value at the bottom. DNScoop also have a very similar feel to the old Alexa website.
Pure Blogging = $6180
Crenk = $4429
Overall, PureBlogging is doing quite a lot better than my own site Crenk, but how is it doing against yours?
If none of them get even close to the value of one’s site, then their only value is presumably pure entertainment, but entertainment that kind of misleads…

I don’t take these things too seriously, but my blog’s worth about $3k or $62k on Technorati. Nice bit of fun.

Sold! No discussion necessary… I’ll even gift wrap for you.
Hi Steven, thanks for the links. What was most interesting to me is learning the other sites that are hosted on my server, and that SmartPageRank didn’t even show that I had any page rank! I thought that was pretty funny.
I liked dnscoop’s info the best, I’ll be bookmarking these sites for the future.
Most of these services are just for fun. I don’t think you should really take into account their values when selling your blog. The value of your blog should be based on the income…
I’ll check these out, thanks for posting them. I was actually thinking about selling my celebrity blog, tragicomical, because I can’t keep up with it. I would base the value of a site on pagerank, pageviews, visitors, and subscribers.
Oh yeah, can’t forget about design, that’s important, too.
Well if these services are just for fun how exactly one calculates abt the worth of his blog… please advise
There is no real standard way to calculate the worth of your blog. It is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, and the only way you will find this out is to put it up for sale.
