How much is my blog worth?

I was reading Sebastian’s latest rant about a scraper and spammer named Veronica Domb so I followed his link to the scraper site. Other than it being a complete copy of one of Sebastian’s posts, I saw a little button saying that the scraper blog was worth $10,161.72!

Since I actually write the stuff on my blog and not just republish feeds I thought I’d see what this little button thinks of me.

 


My blog is worth $38,388.72.
How much is your blog worth?

 

 

What load of crap!

Besides being totally inaccurate, it does auto-magically create a bunch of links to the button author, which I don’t appreciate. Those links would explain why his site is worth $6,220,101.72 (in its flawed opinion). The only thing consistent with that calculation is that all the values end in 0.72. So if anyone would like to buy me a beer for $38,388.72 I’ll transfer the domain, export the databases, zip the server contents, and email it all to you in about 30 seconds. We’ll be having steak that night.

Oh yeah, did I mention Veronica Domb yet?

    Mine is apparently worth $33,307.86; I broke your 72 cents theory, but if it’s any consolation, your blog seems about $5,000 more valuable than mine. I’m curious exactly why that is…?

    I wonder how Technorati feels about “powering” this?

    Ahh..I think it’s broke or just a matter of being someones opinion, a very bad one at that.

    I never trusted that thing anyone. It is really fun when you have a new blog and spend time building it up with backlinks. After you reach a certain level, those things are just worthless toys.
