How Much Is Your Domain Worth?

If you're a Web site owner, do you know how much your domain is worth? Based upon the age of the domain, traffic, page rank, inbound links, and indexed pages with the major search engines, dnScoop.com can provide an estimate of its dollar value. Here's mine:

How much is your site worth?

Take the value with a grain of salt, though, since no one is likely to write a check for that amount. (It appears that the price tag comes from the BlogSpot.com domain, not my little corner of it.)

The free online tool provides links to the online references where it gets its data from, so you can see for yourself who's linking to your site, what the page rank is, how many Web pages from your site are indexed by the major search engines, and the estimated value of placing a single text link ad on the site. The tool even provides the HTML script to show off the dollar value of your site, as shown above.

Update (10 Mar. '07): Here's another site, Sootle.com, that just uses link popularity (retrieved via Yahoo!'s API) to calculate your Web site's value. The numbers seem to be more realistic, if a little disappointing. If you link to their Web page as I have with their graphic, they'll update the current value every 24 hours.
