It’s interesting that the two tools you have displaying the ‘ blog’s worth’ are saying different things and do not even come close the actual estimate

I find that these tools are often grossly inaccurate at least with my blogs they have been

Totally agree with you that calculating the amount of revenue the blog generates per month and multiplying it by 10 gives a pretty good estimate

Never considered the value of the posts though so that’s a new tip for me. Thanks

[...] How Much Is Our Blog Worth? If we’d go by these rules, we wouldn’t sell our blog for anything less then: $344,236! Shocking amount isn’t it?

I disagree with #2 greatly base on the estimated average of $144k to get the same number of uniques. Depending on how well you manage your QS, it can be drastically less. You can also use other PPC such as Yahoo, MSN, as well as several other lower tier PPC engines to get the same number of targeted traffic if you were going the paid route and still spend less.

I think the best valuation method was actually the rss method.

You selling John or just writing all these posts to make sure you don’t get lowballed when you do start to sell. Lets just hope that this does not turn into another cash quests.

That’s a whole lot of money. Puts alot of perspective on things. If I sold my little blog in many years to come I think I would be happy with the cost of hosting back and anything else as a bonus.

What would you do with the money if Bill Gates decided to buy your blog for that amount?

I think the value of the blog is based on the blogger itself, and not the name of the blog. Therefore, if some Joe Blow that buys JohnCow.com may not have the same following, and readership, since most visitors visiting and commenting on the site are here to for JohnCow.

Notice the drop in Alexa traffic when you had guest posts while vacationing.

You can add my 2 cents to Simons.

Wow! $300k? That’s a lot of money. The trouble would be finding someone out there that can afford that. Then convince them to buy it!

A website is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. Are you going to use some auction to sell the site or are you just going to accept a bid silently?
