How Much is that Bloggie in the Window?
By Tom Chandler on Aug 29, 2006 in Underground Entertainment

My blog is worth $18,629.82.
How much is your blog worth?
Wow - and you thought bamboo fly rods were expensive. Using the same “links-to-dollars” valuation as the AOL-Weblogs deal, it turns out the Trout Underground is worth $18,629.82 (I’ll take it in $10s and $20s please).
Of course, I’d be more inclined to sell if some kind of “links-to-beers” valuations were implemented…

I think that I can by a good fly rod with $564.54. Should I put “FOR SALE” sign to my blog?

I think, with a coupon, I could trade Fishing Jones for a bucket of fried chicken at KFC. Just not the fancy extra crispy stuff.

Pete - you might be in luck. KFC corporate doesn’t have a blog yet, creating what we in the marketing world call an “opportunity.”
I admit to experiencing a sense of giddiness when the magic $18+K number popped up, but came back to earth when I realized that’s only three fly rods and two reels in today’s FF market…

Wait a minute, in the finest tradition of corporate raiders (and CEOs everywhere), trouthole’s manipulating the value of his blog. He just claimed it, so Technorati hasn’t found all the links there.
Always an angle with that one, always an angle…

Hmm… $0.00. I made my net worth times infinity today!
I guess the tool doesn’t work too well for content sites without Technorati tags.
