This has gone around before, but I just read about it again over at Eruanna and thought some of you might be interested.
You can go to DNScoop.com to see how much your site is worth. It gives a breakdown of analysis, including page rank, and how much you could get for text links, and comes up with a total.
According to them, I could get $7 a month for a text link on this blog, and the total blog value is worth $740. The number of inbound links and indexed pages is a big factor for the valuation, since an older site of mine that’s PR3 but with only 4 inbound links is only worth $345.
It’ll be interesting to see what effect the next page rank update has on that value. You can also enter any web address and get a valuation. Squidoo.com is worth $6,583,600. Any takers?
Well, dang it. I can’t get it to work for my blog. Maybe it has to be a website. It keeps saying “can’t verify age of domain”:(
I think it has to do with subdomains. It’ll value blogspot.com just fine (worth $699,920,000), but not my personal blog hosted there. I guess this is one more reason to have your own domain!
Yes, those reasons keep adding up! I want to have a good domain name and the time to set it all up before I get one but I AM going to get one!
I suspected it was pretty old but its such an ego booster when you find out you have an expensive site!
Jay,
I seem to have misplaced the thread about Blog Carnivals. I found one that might be of interest: Carnival of the Capitalists
Sorry it’s off-topic for this thread, but I wanted to get the link to you, and I *did* try to find that other post!
Hi Han, yes, it’s fun to see the numbers. Some of the big sites are pretty ridiculous, though!

Thanks for the link!
Jay, dnscoop is the least bit accurate. If anything it is for entertainment purposes only.
Hi Rose, yes I agree. But it’s fun to see some statistics piled up and to compare them with other blogs.
