The 9rules Technorati Valuation

Written by Mike Rundle on October 15, 2005

A website called Central Scrutinizer took the Technorati valuation numbers behind the Weblogs, Inc. deal (which are hilarious, but probably not a real way to value a website) and applied the math to the 9rules Network to see what 9rules would go for. Obviously it’s a bit different since we don’t own the sites in the Network, but hey, it’s just a fun exercise.

Basically, you take the total value of Weblogs, Inc., and figure out how many inbound Technorati links each WIN site has, then extrapolate a value-per-link of approximately $564.64. Central Scrutinizer worked from that number, and painstakingly went through most of the 9rules Network members (he neglected our Spanish friends though) and came up with a dollar value per weblog.

I did some quick math, and by his numbers, just our English-speaking members have a combined worth of around $10M, but we’ve got some of the world’s best Spanish weblogs in 9rules as well so who knows what the real “value” is :)

    Just to let you all know that both If..Else and Broken Kode are up for sale:)

  2. James Archer Says:

    Seems a little high to me.

    It lists my site The Return of Design at around $270k, when I’d probably be willing to part with it for about half that much.

    I feel robbed that I didn’t break a million, just robbed I tell you.

  4. Nathan Smith Says:

    My measley $2000 made me re-focus my priority on Technorati. As far as they were concerned, my site hadn’t been updated in 137 days. I’ve got it pinging correctly now. Bring on the bling. ;)

  5. Gustavo Barron Says:

    Blah! my site doesnt have a big value…

    But dont worry, i will make a big scam, almost like the enron thing :P

  6. OK, I’m ready to cash in - If..Else Log Says:

    [...] other news, Me and Khaled are using our high valuation to launch a hostile takeover of the 9rules network. -30-
