What Is Your Website Worth?
Are you curious about the value of your website? I came across a link in one of the business forums I visit for a website that claims to be able to evaluate what your website is worth. The site is called the Sootle Web Directory. The box on the right side of the page shows their current estimate for www.AndrewSeltz.com. At the time I am writing this they give it a value of $555.00. Not bad for a domain that wasn’t worth anything except the domain registration fee 12 months ago.
Their value seems to be based on the number of backlinks coming to your site. This is a reasonable indicator of value as the traffic your site gets (and which can be monetized) is tied to the number of incoming links that are listed around the Internet. Google, and the other major search engines, all use this indicator when evaluating sites.
Just a fun little observation that I thought I would share. It will be fun to see how this value changes over time.
