what did you change in your new calculator algorithm? my value is still listed at over $1 million, even though its just a simple website for scientific researchers. and neither your description of ad potential via various avenues is even close either $0 and $4000/month- don’t think so. unless you give some general details of the components of your index, it has no verifiable face or construct validity.

Some of my sites is over $1000 charge. It is inconceivability. Does anybody want to buy? All for sale.

This isn’t even close to being accurate … I think the old version actually seemed better. A domain I’m making $30-40/month on in PPC revenue got valued at $67 with multiple backlinks and an Alexa ranking.

Maddogbiz, $30-40/month isn’t very much. Could you please let me know the URL so that I may take a look myself?

What is your Alexa rank and the number of backlinks you have?

My web site valued over 1000$, is that correct at algorithm?

What a neat little tool. A few fundamental flaws, but as a shotgun guide and information utility, it’s great.

You might want to shove a caveat in there regarding the valuation, just to cover your back…

For a start, Alexa’s ranking is flawed as it is so easily to manipulate, at least up to around the x00,000 mark, after which, naturally, it gets exponentially harder to rise.

Yahoo is just puddled as it tends to count your own links within a site, distorting the link count. Again, manipulateable.

On more concrete grounds, it depends on the focus of the niche. For instance a focused medical site dedicated to kidney dialysis could be worth far more than a generic blog with ten or even fifty times the traffic and linkage.

Which brings us nicely to the point of actual traffic, real footfall, which your tools does not and cannot monitor. This too greatly affects the value of a site, as does intangiables like the longevity of it, the loyalty of it’s visitors, and so forth.

Really happy I found it, but not perfect. It it was me, I’d put in a suitable disclaimer, then either offer detailed valuations as a service, or put a sponsored link in for such.

Hope this helps,

Seriously, this is great man. Although, the value of the website is pretty high. But thanks for the great tool. I found it very useful!

Paul,

Thanks for your insightful comment. Your idea to add an affiliate link to the calculator to a domain valuation service is an excellent one.

You are also right about the focus of the niche, however you must take into consideration why would someone want to purchase a website about kidney dialysis, for example? Will the purchaser ever see a return on their investment? What products or services could be sold from this website in order to see an income?

A site very focused on a sport could however sell autographed items, strategy books, gear, helmets, etc.

Valuing a website is a tricky thing to do, and without real actual stats from the site, it’s very hard to precisely give a dollar value.

Hii,
thanks for this post, i came to know the value of my blog now. thanks for sharing this wit us…

Best Regards.

You may also wish to take into account other monetization strategies like Kontera or IntelliTXT, this could seriously change your valuation figures.

I think this tool is great. I used a different one that gave me a value of like $30,000… Your tool said around 8 grand. That made more sense to me.

Why not make it scan your site for key words and then calculate how many adsense clicks an average website gets and then multiply it by the value of the keywords contained by your site. I think that would give a pretty good estimate of how much money your website could make depending on how you word your text. That would be great for finding your potential advertising revenue. In my opinion your website is only worth what it can generate in ad revenue unless its something ground breaking like youtube. It would not be able to calculate potential future value though something that would have a big impact on sale value ex youtube (are they making money yet?).

I might be willing to pay for a tool like that. For my website.

Sorry but this is a totally inaccurate tool.

Ok, this does not work at all. Says my site only has a value of $5000
I’ll make $4000 this month in advertising, while this report indicates a value of $0. It also did not get the correct PR from Google.

In fact, with out going out and reading my entire site, how would it know the value of potential advertising ~ needs to read the key words…. Which also has zero to do with a sites PR.

I could load the Alexa tool bar on my home computer and increase my rating by a factor of 10 easy. Alexa rating means very little. Not sure why people continue to use to.
