Hello again, my social networking friend!

I see webmasters asking the question “how much is my site worth?” quite often, as if there was an easy answer to that particular query. Truth is, there are so many variables involved that it would make your head spin! While there are several site evaluation websites out there, they tend to be sadly lacking in any useful criteria in analyzing your site. I’m sure that, if you’ve used any of them, you’ll notice that they have WILDLY varying outcomes on your site’s value. One might put your worth at $3000, while another might say only $30. None of them seem to agree!

In my search for a more reliable gauge of value, I found this very thorough Internet Business Valuation website that does an extremely good job of bringing together all the MANY factors that go into appraising the value of an online business. Unlike all those other sites that basically just ask for your domain name and then spits out a figure based on the keywords in your url, this one actually encourages you to input as much information as possible in order to come up with a much more accurate figure.

This Internet Business Valuation tool takes into account the expenses needed to run your site, as well as how long it has been a consistant earner for you. It even processes additional factors, such as uniqueness, skill level and time needed to run your site, which would be very beneficial for your potential buyer to know as well. Put all this together and you definately have a better picture of what you can present to your buyers when you go to a sales market, like at Sitepoint. Try it and see for yourself how surprising the results can be!
