What is Your Blog Worth?

Wednesday, December 16, 2009

I decided to have a little fun and check out the value of my website. I found two free sites that you can use to instantly calculate the value. Here are the results:


Site Value Calculator $3,072


Your Website Value $8,557



Not bad, huh? Of course, when you use sites like these, I don’t recommend taking them too seriously. It’s like taking a collectible to the auction house. The auctioneer can estimate the value, but what actually matters is what someone is willing to pay for it.

Do I think my blog is worth either of the estimates? To me it is and more. I say this because I highly value my blog. I have invested a lot of time and emotion into it. Do I think someone else will agree with the value? Probably not. Why would someone want to buy a blog that is tied to my personality the way mine is?

Does that mean that I wouldn’t sell my blog if I was offered good money for it? Absolutely not. As much as I love it, I’m no fool. My family, especially my son, would benefit from it. I’m happy that I won’t have to make that decision. Logically, realistically, the only real monetary value of my blog is $0. I’m the only one that would be interested in owning it, because it is centered around me.
