Technorati valuator is a joke

December 8th, 2007 by the noob


My blog is worth $27,662.46.
How much is your blog worth?

My blog is worth $27,662.46. That’s no where near what it’s worth. The problem with this appraisal is that it relies on technorati api. It’s rather easy to improve your technorati score. You need to build links and comment on other people’s blogs. Get a few cheap reviews of your site and your rank goes up dramatically. It’s a fun little script but it’s way off. It’ probably better asking the magic 8 ball how much my blog is worth. “How much is BloggerNoob worth magic 8 ball?….It is decidedly so”

    I don’t know what you are talking about.. it seems pretty accurate to me

    It’s about as good as Alexa ranking.

    Although, I think Alexa ranking can be accurate for the top websites of the world, but not your small websites.

  4. David Rader Says:

    Maybe something better would be aggregating the results from those Alexa, Technorati, and Google PageRank together to form a more accurate result.

  5. the noob Says:

    davidrader- its way off

    thewild1- really? so you think my blog is worth 27k and your blog is worth 33k?

    jeancosta- the the major rankings are not that accurate. i would have to say that alexa is the best be default

    davidrader- yeah i was thinking the same thing. getting all of the different rankings together to get a more complete result.

    [...] wrote an earlier post about how the famous technorati site valuator is a joke. I firmly believe that it’s hard to properly appraise a website or blog buy only looking at [...]

    I can’t see how a blog can be given a value anyway, yes we know the 10 times monthly income, but many blogs are nothing without the blogger who started them. Change of ownership, change of style, etc and you have a different blog.
