How do you determine a blogs worth?

first off you cant sell blogs that are hosting on blogspot, its in their tos

Maybe I should have not used the word "sell"

I can't sell something that doens't really belong to me, but I could "give" it away to someone and they could "give" me some money to make the house repairs I suddenly need.

So...Not selling.

How do I determine the value of a blog/website?

When 'virtual' properties (like a web site) are 'sold', find out how much you made from the web site within the last 12 months. Generally speaking, this should be the lowest price you should consider. Now if it took a lot of time and customizing on your end during the years - and you think it stands out above all the rest and is unique in ways, then stack in how much that time was worth to you and add it in the cost.

That is all if your site is actually bringing in money and there is no 'woulda, coulda, shoulda' made $xxx much money if you didn't advertise or whatever.

Pretty good rule of thumb to get you started. In the end, it just comes down to how much you are willing to sell it for.

Thanks nestle.

I was trying to figure out the value of the site, the concept, the content, etc,e tc. Now I shall keep building the network for another 9 months so that in a year I will have a good idea of it's value.

Thanks for the help.

blogspot has been on an adult banning spree for months now. good luck.

**Wrufian** · 05-22-2006, 05:27 PM

Whoa...What's up with the triple post.

Adult banning spree? I've never seen mention of adult content not being allowed on blogspot. I am going to take another look at the TOS right now, but I recall searching for some sort of word on adult content in their TOS and found none.

The only time I have run into trouble was when their splog filters got me caught up. One email later and everything was cleared up.

Why not cough up a few dollars for a couple domains and a small virtual account so you aren't at the mercy of the blog host? If you think you might be selling at any point it is worth the money and then some.

**czarina** · 05-23-2006, 10:51 AM

not to sound mean, but I don't think they are worth anything. Sorry

**Wrufian** · 05-23-2006, 04:34 PM

Czarina- Everything is worth "something". The question is, how much or how little...Thnks for your input.

Nestle gave the answer I was looking for. Now I can decide if I want to start purchasing domains or use these blogs as a testing ground for other things I want to try.

Thanks!
