How Much Is Your Blog Worth?

written by John Chow on June 11, 2008

Make Money!

Valuing a blog, or any Internet property, is not an easy thing to do. There are so many factors to take into consideration that a simple number times earning cannot reflect. However, I’ve found a new site that will give you the value of your blog down to the dollar.

My Blog Value is made by the same people who created How Rich Will I Be. By answering 19 simple questions about your blog, My Blog Value will be able to tell you how much your blog is worth. Whether you can sell it for that price is another story.

The valuation takes into account things that other tools doesn’t, like how much does the blog make indirectly, how often you update and how many comments you get per post. Completing the questions shouldn’t take more than a minute and the results are instant.

How much money is your blog worth?

After punching in my data, My Blog Value came up with a value of $2,333,778 for John Chow dot Com. If anyone wants to offer me that price, I’ll sell. :twisted:

While I doubt any venture capitalist will be using My Blog Value as a serious price estimating tool, the page is good for entertainment and bragging rights.

As much as your blog is making each month would you really sell out?

I would never buy personal blog like JohnChow.com. You lose so much after ownership change. A technical blog like Engadget (obviously smaller though) would be a good one to buy though.

This says my blog is worth about $8000 whereas the technorati rating is about $27,000 - I think I'll go with the technorato one!!

$2.3 million not too bad :D you going to sell, tools like this are only good for one thing and thats a bit of fun, i hope no one takes the results seriously :D

Says $260,000. I will take it.

Says $260,000. I will take it. :lol:

I think if we all use this tool we can compare blogs, because the algorithm used it's the same. However I dont think the site gives you the correct numbers for your blog...

I tried to use very conservative data and forecast as well as the real numbers regarding PR, Alexa, RSS, comments etc.

The result is 296 060 USD. Not bad at all. :smile:

its just a tool for fun .. dont think any one is going to pay you those big amounts :) :smile:

John,

Good, fun tool :)

Mine worth a bit above 50 grand :P

These automated valuation sites are never really accurate. I think the general rule of thumb is that a website is worth about what it made over the last year times two, unless there have been some MAJOR traffic/revenue increases that appear to be lasting.

They're interesting to look at, but other than that...meh.

Things are only worth what people are willing to pay for them. It's the law of supply and demand. Formulas and calculation wizards are meaningless.

It is not accurate if not tell me how my blog which is less than 2months will worth 2,034,720. I guess the result was based on how many visitors you got in 1 month (which was on a high side )plus how many readers and money you expect to make in the next 12 months.

According to that website, my blog is worth $310,020, but I highly doubt that.

lol thats crazy and viral :d it told me

"You are going to be rich beyond your dreams, earning $5,250,217 in the next 10 years..."

haha, who know may be in 1 year ? yeah, depends.

What a fun little tool - thanks for sharing!

wow--this is a really cool idea. Housing market is down and I guess we now should price the blogs...

Whatever be your Blogs value, but who's gonna buy it for that amount, anyhow if you wnat to buy my blog it costs only $149,620 ... :mrgreen:

According to My Blog Value my blog is worth $214,038! Ka-Ching!

My blog is worth $254,678, it is a new blog about home gadgets, cool furniture and best interior design. I think that every day growing about this blog makes it have this not bad result.

Whoohoo!

Congratulations! Your blog is worth $162,430

I'm with you John, if anyone wants to buy my blog, it's for sale as well.

AffiliateConfession.com is worth $153,000. Any takers?

$85,032! Apparently that is what my blog is worth. I guess my massive $27 cheque from Text Link Ads must have impressed them. Or, maybe it was the 99 cents I made in the Forex market this morning. Look for my blog for sale on eBay....$85,000 Buy It Now price!!!

I think this thing is messed up. It says my blog is worth $63,123. There is no way. I just started the blog 2 weeks ago. While it is a unique blog it can't be worth this much. My site is twoguysnamedrob.com in case you want to check it out. We do reviews and ratings of online videos. Watch out John, we are looking to review and rate some of you videos soon... Stay tuned.

If anyone wants to offer me that price, I’ll sell.

I don't think you would or should, John. Add up what you make from this in a year, then divide by a reasonable interest rate. (i.e., If you sold today, and put that money in the bank, what would it take to duplicate the income?) I'm sure you'll arrive at a much higher figure.

this is a link bait ploy. look at the link it makes you drop at the bottom of the widget. "money" links out to another site that has auto loans and such. you just got TOOK.

Well, let's just say if this little test is accurate then I need to create about fifty other blogs and then sell them right away! What am I wasting all this time writing articles and building readership for!

That site is stupid and the estimations are terrible.

lool, mine 1,010,000$ it's just a game I fear! :twisted:
tell me...are you ready to giv me that money for my blog???

I think the site should insert a few easy links for people to check their incoming links. I already got stopped on Question #2 because of this...

Anyways, I got $103,920 :D

I tried to be very conservative with my numbers but it says my blog is worth $29,568.00. The estimates that the site gives out are way out of proportion though.

My blog is worth $154,678 not bad

My blog is worth $154,678 not bad :razz:

250k
BIG MONEY!!!

Kidding. It told me it was worth 4.5k.

http://ww2db.com got an estimated ~$50k with this application.

That is higher than what dnScoop says, which is $24k today (though I've seen dnScoop say as high as $100k).

Yea... My 1 month old blog is worth almost 30k... Woo hoo lol
If only it were true... then I'd be making almost as much as Chow ;)

My "blog" is worth $43, 320.. Woot!

$271,830 for TailgatingIdeas.com. Mine has only been up and running for less than a year now. Is a 1/4 million good for such a young site?

Get real, people.
Mine, got no value, got no visitors. Peace!

Mine's worth $81,630 apparently, I somehow doubt that though.

I stand corrected, just did it a second time and got a different number of $221,420...still pretty good though;)

This just put a smile on my face! My blog is worth $325,420!
Nice...

Hahah, Funny tool
Mine 1,443,420$ :shock:
Cool :cool:

Mine's worth $146,298! :grin:

$127,895 for me.
Nice find. This is one of the most in depth estimation tools I have seen yet.

Your blog is worth US $ 36,060 , but still I am aware it`s not that much worth. It`s only two months old but still has some potential. I`ll be speaking more of it`s value in one year`s time. Well John I would offer you 300,000 for JohnChow.com. Selling it ? :twisted:
