Whats Your Web Site Worth?

A number of website value calculators have sprung up on-line recently that calculate how much your site is worth based on search engine and Alexa rankings.

The CyberWire Calculator valus ImAFish at $1565 (about £750) with the following data:

Alexa Ranking: 733,509
Google Page Rank: 5
Yahoo Backlinks: 0 (not sure why as we have a lot of pages indexed in Yahoo)
Altavista Backlinks: 1550
All the Web Backlinks: 1530

I'm not sure how accurate this data is and I certainly wouldn't sell ImAFish for only £750. The calculator also predicts how much your site could make through advertising though this figure is not accurate in the case of ImAFish.

Google.co.uk is worth: $57,996,230
news.bbc.co.uk: $106,263,437
thesun.co.uk: $1,096,125
ebuyer.com: $295,650
itn.co.uk: $32,646
channel4.com: $954,510

In the case of ITN the calculator predicts they can only make $240/month on text link advertising which hardly enough to support a news site. Surely this figure would have to be ten times higher to support such a site?

Remember this value is based purely on search engine data and Alexa rank so in the case of Ebuyer I'm sure the actual site value would need to include sales data.

I'll be interested to hear how accurate anyone else found these online calculators for their website worth or predicted advertising revenue to be - let me know!
