How many times have you sat back in a wing back chair before a roaring fireplace, pipe in hand, and wondered, “how much is my website worth?” Thankfully, there’s a site that can tell you. However, it’s only worth $169,921. Are you sure you can trust them at such bargain basement prices?
To be honest, I am dead certain that the numbers spit out by this site mean absolutely nothing. In fact, judging from the information it does provide, it’s almost certainly trying to either sell me advertising or webspace. Considering that the “recent sites” column lists “buxom naturals” and “eurocasino” amongst its users should give one pause before considering this an even remotely useful metric.
However, it is fun to compare some classic websites and see how they stack up.
According to the service, here’s what you should expect to pay for some of the Internet’s hottest properties.
Go Gaia –Â $3,045,357
Tumblr – $306,521,741
White House dot gov –Â $3,260,868
Deviant Art – $111,904,760
Wikipedia – $2,014,285,713
Bing – $587,500,000
Google –Â $14,100,000,000
And here’s a truly eye-opening comparison:
xHamster, the porn site –Â $238,983,054
AOL –Â $247,368,418
Last but not least:
The Huffington Post – $158,426,966
The Pirate Bay – $160,227,269
