So we all know about Housevalues.com and Zillow.com which both tell you in different ways how much your house is worth. But how do you find out what your site is worth?
Well there here are a couple of sites that try to tell you:
http://www.seomoz.org/page-strength - doesn't really tell you the price but does give you a rough index to compare it to other sites.
http://www.pingoat.com/goat/blog_worth - appears to weigh a similar set of variables as the SEOMOZ site but attaches a monetary value to the index.
http://www.business-opportunities.biz - Nice my blog is worth MILLIONS. Well not millions, but this seems to overstate the value I would put on my site.
http://www.dnscoop.com/ - and somewhere in between.
The bottom line is that the price placed on your site is just abitrary and doesn't mean very much except as an index that you could track.
I still like seeing the thousands of dollars from the business-opportunities site though.
Compete.com has a fascinating chart explaining about the total amount of time we all spend at certain websites. There are a few very interesting facts in the dataset. For one thing pogo.com, neopets.com and adultfriendfinder.com all slid into the top 20. I don't know who I would have expected to slide in there, but I'm not sure I would have anticipated them.
Their chart didn't show everything I wanted, I wanted to delve a bit deeper. So I went out to alexa and got the reach numbers for each of the sites to sift the time data.
Here are the sites re-ordered by time-spent / reach.

Look-it Pogo.com. Wow! Very interesting that. They are a gaming site so that indicates the long length of time their users stay. Playing game after game.
The other striking point is the dismal showing of live.com. Last place in the re-ordering.
