Tristan used the AOL-Weblogsinc deal to devise a formula for valuating blogs. Basically, your blog is worth $564.64 per inbound link reported by Technorati. That means, my blogs are worth $206,093.60. Cool! Scoble must be a billionaire.
InsideGoogle used the formula to produce the following valuations...
Interesting, but inbound links are not how things like this should be valued… I could create a blog today called “what I think of bloggers” and write 50 sentences a day about 200 bloggers. that blog would be #1 on technorati and have 50,000 inbound links in a year. it doesn’t mean it would have any value.
things that matter: page views, revenue, reputation (which links don’t show).
If you can create a blog that would be #1 on Technorati and have 50,000 inbound links in a year, then you should do it. It would be worth at least $1,000,000. Being #1 on Technorati will translate to mega pageviews. Pageviews can be converted to revenue with Adsense.
