I'll Make You a Deal

Lee Hopkins did the math and computed a number of blog-valuations. The values are based upon the Weblogs, Inc./AOL deal, i.e. dividing the purchase price by the number of inbound links the blogs have. Your blog value is determined by multiplying your Technorati link count by a dollar amount.

My blog's value? $112,343.46

I'll make you a deal though, $75,000.00 and it's all yours.

How about this? My blog is worth about $9500. If I give you some of my blog in the form of stock, can I have a seat on your board?

Sure. Send me the stock certificates

Blog-valuations... another suffix wasted with a prefix of 'blog'. Sorry if that burst your blog-bubble. Over $100,000, that's impressive. I think the formula actually counted the number of times the word 'blog' appears on your website including the variations like 'blogosphere' that must have the people at Webster's dictionary in a frenzy. Now the formula should be based on the time people waste in their day reading any blog and multiply it by minimum hourly wage (just for consistency sake) and realize how much money is lost on cyberspace's bastard child...the blog.

My blog is worth 4,516.32. If I sell it, do you think I'd have enough money to buy Melanie a sense of humor?

Wowzers. I'm only worth $564.54
That really blows.
