| What is your website worth? |

Most webmasters are interested by the monetary value of Internet sites and, certainly, of their own virtual creations. Many reasons can explain such an interest: simple curiosity, a desire to find a buyer for their website, competition, etc. Hence, it is now increasingly easy to obtain information regarding the estimated value of websites. However, the validity and quality of the given information by various sites such as WebsiteOutlook.com, BizInformation.org and WebsiteValueCalculator.com remain doubtful whereas none of them provides similar data. Such differences can occur because of the parameters used by the latter in order to carry out their calculations: some sites use data related to the number of visitors and the pages visualized daily whereas others also take into account the external links leading to the site, the incomes generated by online ads, the international and/or local classification of the site (Alexa, Google PageRank, etc.) and its publication in web repertories such as DMOZ, notably. Thus, here’s a comparison of the estimated value of a popular website, Yahoo.com: According to WebsiteOutlook.com: $602,250,000.00 USD According to BizInformation.org: $6,700,000,000.00 USD According to WebsiteValueCalculator.com: $1,393,504,478.00 USD Hence, keep in mind to avoid using and considering such sites in order to obtain a rational monetary evaluation of your own website. Moreover, the actual value of your site is only equal to the amount of money a purchaser would truly be willing to pay and that can obviously fluctuate largely in regard to the context, the type of site and the purchaser’s needs.
