Selling Your Blog: What Are Blog Buyers Looking For?

Aaron Brazell of TechnoSailor is selling his personal blog on Ebay Sitepoint. He’s added a “Buy Now” price of USD $30,000.

I’m not sure what the future holds for him, and I do hope he will not leave his passionate and much appreciated involvement in WordPress.

Still, this got me wondering about how much a blog is worth.

In October 2005, a fun gadget tool was developed which allows you to test your blog’s value, according to a combination of Technorati popularity and ranking, along with a value equal to the “dollar ratio as the AOL-Weblogs Inc deal“, which was one of the largest blog sales at that time.

Using the tool, I decided to find out what Lorelle on WordPress was worth. In October of 2005, my blog was worth $80,000.00. Wow! I checked again a month later, and my blog was worth $145,651.00.

While it’s fun to make jokes about how I’m going to spend the money, this is just virtual paper, which is worth less than money on real paper. ;-)

Sixteen months later, and wondering about Brazell’s life changing blog sale, I started wondering what my blog is worth today.

It’s worth $776,807.04.

OH MY GAWD!

If my blog was a stock, you’d better invest in it cuz it’s going to split very soon. ;-)

While I was checking my own blog, I decided to check on Blog Herald. The Blog Herald is worth $964,234.32. Damn. Beaten.
