Courtesy of the Business Opportunities Weblog, I’ve known about this cute little resource for a while but just keep forgetting to write about it.
WHAT IT IS: Give it your blog’s URL, and it spits out a guesstimate of how much it thinks your blog is worth in $$$.
Is the info good? Depends on what you think about the formula the calculations are based on (in this case, “Technorati’s API which computes and displays your blog’s worth using the same link to dollar ratio as the AOL-Weblogs Inc deal”).

Practically speaking, a blog’s worth whatever a buyer’s willing to pay for it at a given point in time, and a lot relies on your ability to negotiate the best deal you can. These valuation tools help arm you with information you can use to do that… assuming they pump out favorable numbers. Not to worry… even if yours doesn’t come out looking too good with this tool, there are more than enough different valuation formulas out there to try.
But, hey, they’re fun! Not to mention useful as metrics you can put to work to help you track and measure your progress. — EES

Thanks for the info, I’ll definately be checking out that site. I have to say, I’m an avid reader of this blog but rarely comment. I wanted to see if you’d read the recent article about hot outsourcing skills of 2008 which shows that blogging trends have actually increased by 4 times that of the previous year. That’s so exciting, particularly in this economy. So, yes, you CAN make money blogging.
