How Much is My Blog Worth?: Why Website Value Calculators are a Waste of Time

Have you ever used one of those online domain worth calculators to see how much you could get for a website? Whether you want to buy or sell a domain or are just curious to see what your site could sell for, keep in mind that most of these sites serve little more than entertainment purposes.

Good points Adam and the additional factors are important. In many ways it is a similar process to buying brands.

Interesting article. Adam.

I'm confused about the part where different buyers would offer a few thousand, tens of thousands, or a hundred thousand - is this depending on how much it might be worth to them in the future? Otherwise, I see them all offering the low-ball amount, thinking if they can get it for that, they really made out.

Yes. And it's why unless you know for sure that your website is worth a certain amount or you know who you are selling it to, in some cases it may not be a good idea to set an actual price... or at least not at the begining. It may be better to see what offers you get.
