What’s a Blog Worth?

Filed under: General - Ric @ 7:46 am


My blog is worth $7,248.23.
How much is your blog worth?

There are those who claim that blogging is just a waste of time , effort and of no value. “Take my wife…” as Henny Youngman used to say. Well over at Business Opportunities Weblog an effort has been made to quantify just how much filthy lucre money a blog is worth. They should know, they are in the making money from a blog kind of space. Now don’t get me wrong, I like filthy lucre money as much as the next guy. Heck, I even bought a lottery ticket in the Ontario 649 mad dash for forty million of the little darlings [incidentally I did not win]. For the most part I like to think of blogging for blogging sake. Sure I put up links for Google Ads and I have links to Amazon for books and stuff, but to date I think I’ve made a grand total of $10 in the last 3 years. Don’t worry, I won’t be spending it all in one place.

Nope blogging for me is definitely not a exercise in money making. It’s more of an exercise in hearing myself type. But now I have an arbitrary number of value to assign to what I’m doing.

“I’ll be up to bed soon honey, I’m just increasing my virtual net blog worth….”

    I call it marketing. Being shy and a show-off at the same time.
