My blog is not for sale

October 1st, 2006 | 1 Comment | Posted in Personal

This web site is basically worthless, according to the Sootle valuation tool.


This website is worth

What is your website worth?

Apart from a bruised ego, because I think this site is priceless, the quoted figure is meaningless. Of course, if my site had been valued at upwards of $64,000 like some others I would be hailing the result and looking for a buyer.

That said, the valuation tool is based on how many other sites link to this one. I’m only aware of two and even they probably think they should axe the link given my lack of updates over the past nine months.

A blog exists for the writer to share personal thoughts and observations. It may develop a readership beyond friends and family, but it remains an essentially personal writing space.

Trying to value one is like estimating the price of your grandmother’s grave.

Update (February 24, 2007): Six months after writing the initial post my blog is now valued at $2600. I think it was about $400 at the beginning.
