How much is your blog worth?
I came across this interesting website, that tells you how much is a website worth (in USD). It's called WEB VALUER. I evaluated my site just for fun and I was a bit surprised, because I expected a much lower number for my blog. Here's my result:
My site is worth
$37,448
It says my page rank is 7 and that I have 150 daily pageviews. I think this is sort of true. Since my site is fairly new, I'm quite surprised at the result. So what now? Should I sell my blog and buy a Mercedes? LOL.
And because I am a very curious guy, I decided to evaluate some of the blogs I like and follow. Many of you became dear friends. So, this list is for you. If you click on the money-link near your blog's name, you will see all the details and specifics. So click on it.
Let's see among my dearest bloggers, how much are their blogs worth, who's top and who's not. Here's the list including my own blog:
01 $60,644.0 Marina's Blogariffic (Pagerank 5, 450 daily pageviews)
02 $49,264.4 Extractions of a Desoriented Mind (Pagerank 2, 300 daily pv.)
03 $48,772.4 SHE in China (Pagerank 0, 300 daily pageviews)
04 $41,672.6 This is The Mad Style (Pagerank 3, 300 daily pageviews)
05 $37,448.0 My Kafkaesque Life (Pagerank 7, 150 daily pageviews)
06 $33,300.8 Through Eyes From Afar (Pagerank 1, 150 daily pageviews)
07 $31,177.1 Insomniac Lolita (Pagerank 0, 150 daily pageviews)
08 $24,865.1 Junjie's China Blog (Pagerank 0, 150 daily visitors)
09 $15,742.7 Lost... in Translation (Pagerank 0, 10 daily pageviews)
10 $14,155.4 A Misspent Life (Pagerank 3, 150 daily pageviews)
11 $13,907.3 When He Kisses Her... (Pagerank 2, 150 daily pageviews)
12 $13,029.7 As Zewt As It Gets [from RM to US$] (Pagerank 4, 300 daily pv.)
13 $12,782.3 Scary Azeri in Suburbs (Pagerank 4, 150 daily pageviews)

16 $9,067.7 The Demigodess (Pagerank 3, 10 daily pageviews)
17 $8,912.9 The World With No Together (Pagerank 0, 10 daily pageviews)
18 $5,748.2 Love and Debauchery* (Pagerank 0, 10 daily pageviews)
19 $4,732.4 Where Did All The Pecans Go? (Pagerank 7, 10 daily pageviews)
20 $4,576.1 the BLOGETTE (Pagerank 0, 10 daily pageviews)
21 $2,440.4 Tales Over Coffee (Pagerank 0, 10 daily pageviews)
22 $2,277.8 Trifledreamz (Pagerank 7, 10 daily pageviews)
*the blogspot URL
To compare 2 celeb bloggers:
Dawn Yang Clapbangkiss $235,835 (Pagerank 4, 1200 daily visitors),
Kenny Sia $1.47 Million (Pagerank 3 , 11000 daily visitors)
Ok, I was surprised to see Marina on top, but then again, she has an excellent blog and she's a very smart blogger that attracts many people. I guess it was the same surprise to see my blog as high. I checked the details and saw that I have a very good web recognition (guess my SEO is good) and the value metric, plus more people follow and comment on my blog recently and the linking on Twitter helped big time. I'm not surprised that Jerine is as high, I thought it may be even higher. Her blog is excellent and I knew she was Google page rank 3, so her result makes sense. I was expecting Zewt, Nashe and Tales a bit higher in the rank with a bigger value, but then again, their blogs are good anyway. I guess they cater to a certain number of people who follow them and not so much to the broader mass of people from all over. So, don't be disappointed, k? Everyone among you on the list has very good blogs and I hope you don't sell yourselves out. :)
Now keep on blogging. I need something to read with my morning coffee :)

OMG... is there a secret how you get such high page rank?
August 10, 2009 3:45 PM
I read somewhere u need to be linked from pages with higher ranks... I don't know why I am PR 7... There's also the Trifledreamz blog PR 7 (last on the list), it's a very new blog, yet page rank 7. I have no clue how this works. Maybe someone finds out and shares with us.

Ehm. This feels a bit awkward, as if my salary was revealed.
Anyways in all honesty, pageranks, technorati rank and stuff like that are really not important to me. And it shouldnt be to you too.
The only ones who should be interested in it is if they are selling their links or doing advertisments on their websites.
August 10, 2009 4:36 PM
I was a bit surprised since you just started this blog. Maybe when you import your old blog, everything is imported as well. that could be one of the reason
August 10, 2009 4:38 PM
@Rinaz, this is Google.. you can find anything. But seriously, I really have no clue how this humble blog of mine was supposedly worth 37.000 USD? Are they kidding me? I just couldn't find out the criteria for the final sum. I really doubt that this number bears any significance. I don't blog for money, so it doesn't mean anything to me. It's just for fun and I was curious about the blogs I'm reading. You really deserve to be on top, you have an excellent blog. Be proud ;-)
@Jerine, yea, afterall I have over 300 posts in a short time, I put my blog on many directories and did a thorough Google SEO. But still, I'm surprised... well, in the end, look at someone like Zewt. He's in the middle, yet he has a brilliant blog and so many followers. He's blog is worth much more than mine.
August 10, 2009 4:53 PM
argh low value, don't publish it! I dont understand how mine can be more valuable than Zewt's!
anyway, your blog is interesting so don't be surprised :)
August 10, 2009 10:06 PM
this is highly informative!
really!
i envy your worth ;)
August 11, 2009 12:33 AM
Cool link! Congratz!! ^^
Wew, my blog still got some worth?? Hihi, I thought it would just go to dust bin as I rarely update and just write when I'm in the mood. Hehe. Thanks for finding out this link! ;)
August 11, 2009 12:42 AM
thanks for the info but i won't cash mine in just yet...if it ever reaches $50,000 then i might think again!
August 11, 2009 1:12 AM
@Sharon, don't take it too seriously! :P How can you say your blog is low value?? It's an awsome blog and I love to read it. These numbers come together from a commercial standpoint. You and Zewt write very personal blogs, so it's not good for business online. That's all, I guess. But that's not the real value of a blog. ;-)
August 11, 2009 3:17 AM
@Americanising Desi, noooooooo, don't envy my worth. I don't want that $ number go up, I want the number of nice readers like you go up. :-)
August 11, 2009 3:18 AM
@Selvy, glad that I made you smile. Of course your blog has some value. Besides, I'm reading it :P That means it's one of the best in the world ;-)
August 11, 2009 3:22 AM
@adamantixx, please don't cash it even for 50 grand, haha. I wonder how to do that. Who will give me 37.000 $? And for what? So he/she can blog instead of me and advertize? Take over my brand? LOL. Don't think this will ever happen :)
August 11, 2009 3:24 AM
This is pretty interesting. I don't really understand how the numbers are calculated, but it looks like I'm lacking somewhere. I need to get hot on writing some stuff that lots of folks wanna read I guess? Dunno.
August 11, 2009 3:27 AM
@TalesOC, I guess a blog that attracts many readers is more valuable than a blog that has some big commercial value calculated by Google by some strange algorith. I did not anticipate some numbers, but I don't take this seriously anyway. Just wanted to see how people respond.
August 11, 2009 3:30 AM
I think it has to do with how many people link to you, the value of their sites, and how much traffic you get. I did toy with a few of these before I started my new blog (which has a new skin by the way) and the old URL had a higher number. Still only registered at 17k though.
I suppose it'll go up with time! And... these numbers can't be taken all that seriously anyway. I have a feeling that there are great blogs out there that just haven't been discovered yet.
August 11, 2009 3:40 AM
So when do you get paid? You could probably go for a Bentley :)
August 11, 2009 4:29 AM
@ZACL, I don't know, plase contact Google on my behalf :) Bentley? Then I need like 10 times more money. I don't even get a new Mercedes for this :P
August 11, 2009 4:54 AM
Haha. It's okay, I don't believe in all this webvaluer stuff. Some websites claim I'm one of the top bloggers in Indonesia. HUH?
Whatev! I have my own trackers anyway which are more accurate. lol
August 11, 2009 11:10 AM
@Nashe^, I don't believe it either. I love your blog and I hope you never sell. I'm sure you are top in the region when it comes to quality and wit, people like Dinghead can't compare with you. You rock!
August 11, 2009 4:07 PM
Hm.. I sceptical.. my google analytics say I have more then 10 visitors a day and a the site the link brought me to it said I had been blogging since jul 2000, when I only just started in oct.08.... mysterious! :)
August 13, 2009 6:24 PM
@Carina, yea, I tell you, some thing don't make sense. So don't take it too seriously, because I don't know how they come up with the number. Some of those blogs like yours, the TalesOC and Nashe's blog should be higher, mine should probably be lower. Then again, who knows what's the criteria. I just did this chart, cuz i had no idea what to blog about :)
August 13, 2009 7:04 PM
whatever it is... can i cash out? hahahahahaha....
August 13, 2009 11:03 PM
Oh no, not you, zewt :P As for the answer, I have no clue, ask Google :P
August 13, 2009 11:58 PM
Well now I know this thing is a bit off. I tried my Posterous blog and it says it's worth 14.41 million USD. Really? Where do I sign up to sell that off?
If you wanna test it yourself the link is http://thisandthat.posterous.com
The only thing I can really think o as to why it's so high is how individual blogs are set up on Posterous. Maybe that's the value of Posterous itself?
August 14, 2009 7:10 AM
Now if only that was my salary in Malaysia...
August 19, 2009 12:56 AM
@TheEnvoy, yea, well, maybe one day. Study hard :)
August 19, 2009 1:00 AM
Here it is :)
May 5, 2010 11:43 AM
@Carina: Sorry that you needed so much time to find it. You could DM me on Twitter, I'd find for you :) I don't like the search widget, because of haters, who would try to find something to trash me. Let them try to find and copy stuff off my site, hehe. They're waste their time.
