Ever wondered what price you could scam some poor sucker into buying your blog? If you like money, you’ve surely investigated at least a few site value calculators and have most likely found them to be horrendously undervalued. After all, your .blogspot domain with two visitors per day is definitely worth more than ten bucks. Here’s a comparitive look at some popular site value calculators so that you can see just how much your blog is(n’t) worth!
SITE VALUE QUICK LINKS (FIRST IS BEST, LAST IS WORST)
1. CyberWyre
2. Estibot
3. DNScoop
4. Your Website Value
5. SmartPageRank
6. Site Value Calculator
7. Website Value Calculator
8. Business Opportunities Site Value Calculator
THE DETAILED SITE VALUE ANALYSIS (FROM HIGHEST PRICE TO LOWEST)
Business Opportunities Site Value Calculator
Blog Badly Was Worth… $29,920.62
Those with low self esteem should start with this absolutely useless site value calculator. It grossly overprices your blog. If you can honestly find a seller that will buy your website for this amount, you’re the greatest marketing genius in the world. Seriously.
Estibot
Blog Badly Was Worth… $5,700
Now we’re talking! Still a bit overpriced, in my opinion, and it showed my estimated daily traffic as being 1,000+ (it’s really not that high). Another self esteem booster.
CyberWyre
Blog Badly Was Worth… $5,181
Another search, another overpriced calculator. CyberWyre bases value purely on backlinks, PR, and Alexa.
DNScoop
Blog Badly Was Worth… $900
The price range where I think Blog Badly belongs - at least $3000 - was skipped entirely in favor of a much lower value. At least it’s got some fancy graphics along with it along with accurate backlink statistics.
Your Website Value
Blog Badly Was Worth… $563
Much too low. It bases its stats on weird stuff like “Depth Potential” and “Friendliness.” How can a robot know how friendly I am? For any site valuation bots viewing Blog Badly, I have but one message for you: Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto. That’s an extra $1500 right there.
SmartPageRank
Blog Badly was worth… $311
I’m doubting the intelligence of SmartPageRank. Their one redeeming quality is fancy graphics, much like DNScoop.
Site Value Calculator
Blog Badly was worth… $299
This is pretty much an exact copy of SmartPageRank, except it undervalues my website even more. Curses!
Website Value Calculator
Blog Badly was worth… $103
I’m pretty sure someone is playing a joke on me. There’s no way Blog Badly is this cheap - it made more than that last month.
The Average Price Of Blog Badly… $5,372.20
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?
Blog value calculators generally suck. Still, they’re pretty fun to play with

I like DNScoop because it gives you the number of backlinks you have. I also like it because it said my blog was worth $8000. I really doubt it.

So here’s my experience. I had a pushup-up blog that made about 50 bucks a month in adsense and affiliate, getting a couple of hundred people a day, mostly from search engines. Dnscoop sait it was worth about 650, and I sold it for 1000. Good.
So I used the 1000 to buy sites. I bought findatheater.net, which dnscoop said was worth around 3500 for 250. Good deal right? WEll, it turns out that the site gets like almost no traffic - like 2 or 3 people a day. So it’s defnitely not making anything close to be worth 3500. I think it rated so high because of all the backlinks.
So, all in all, I’m not sure you can really trust any of these calculators.

The last one values “Google” at $1,561,822,935. Last year, the made over 16 billion dollars in revenues.
In that case, I hope that Eric Schmidt is accepting ‘buy’ offers that are informed by this calculator!

That’s because you have a blogspot blog. Your blog’s name isn’t d-sine, your blog’s name blogspot.com - so that’s what it bases it on. I tried that trick before with blogspot….it just doesn’t work because you don’t have a TLD but a subdomain.

yeah..nice list to play around with..how’d you compile it max?totally inaccurate though, i guess they all use pr,alexa,maybe compete,backlinks and technorati..

This makes me want to see what all my friends’ blogs are worth now, if they’re worth anything at all. Haha.

Great post… it just goes to show that it really does depend on what a person is looking for when buying a website. The value of someone’s website can’t really be calculated so easily… everyone has a different price tag on it and to different people a blog like this would be worth more or less.

i think, in the end, most people that buy websites want to buy websites to make money. So, really, the only thing that I think is worth talking about is how much you make a month from your blog and how you do it (since the new owner will have to be able to do the same thing).

I checked all the links and they all agree that my blog is not worth much - LOL

Wouldn’t it be great if these tools were the ones buying. I’m sure they wouldn’t be so reasonable.
lol

Wow! My blog tripled in Value after the pagerank update! LOL!

Like so many online calculators, they set high expectations for things they just can’t accomplish. I bet that are some that guarantee to tell you what age you will live to.

Hahaha… man, those are quite hilarious… i can’t believe how ridiculous that is.
By Yan on May 25, 2008 | Reply
Seriously I find it hard to believe that you could actually put a price to any site.
Apart from dnScoop, I haven’t tried any of the above.
By lynn on May 27, 2008 | Reply
good thing i found this site.
however, now, i’m very confused as to which site or tool(s) to use to determine true value for sites i may wish to purchase.
anyone know of more reliable but similar tools ?
By Kay on Jun 18, 2008 | Reply
Very interesting and amusing, thanks. I found dnscoop when looking at a site I was vaguely interested in buying. The seller said the site was worth x according to dnscoop.
I started playing with the tool myself. Not only are the results quite bizarre, much of its results are completely wrong. One of my sites is more than eight years old. Dnscoop said it was only one year old.
Also, the valuation fluctuates wildly even though there have been no major changes (PR, Alexa rank, etc). One day it’s worth $30,000, the next it’s $300, and then it’s back to $15,000. It’s no use at all!
Another site I made only a few months ago is now worth about $1,500 according to dnscoop. If anyone wants to buy that new little site at that price I’ll buy them a free dinner while they’re at it. LOL!
