How Much Is Your Blog Worth?

After being declared a low-rank nerd, I was suspect to trying any other Web site “calculators” that make generalizations on a subset of data. After re-reading that opening sentence, my apologies to political pollsters.

Domain name guru Frank Schilling wrote on this calculator of the worth of your blog which is based on Technorati data. Only this week I created a Technorati account, to right away find I had an authority of 15 without even trying. So I gave it a try, and I found The Hot Iron is worth $8,468.10. For a blog that I started in January of this year and with rough calculations of the amount of time I spent on writing just over 100 posts, I’d say that is not a bad return.

Not that I am actively selling my blog. And just like those real estate reality shows there could be more to do to simply pump up the value of my blog. However my commitment is to my community – now and in the future.

Interesting! My blog is worth $12,984.42. I started my blog in December so the extra month must make a difference.

Ah, what a difference a month makes!    I imagine your higher authority score may play into it as well?

In our capitalist society, though sale value isn’t necessarily what drives us to blog, it’s interesting to see these numbers.

I hate to brag, but…

Just playing.  Keep up the good work!
