This isn’t something that I particularly care about, but if you are interested in valuing your blog Raj Dash over at Performancing has a long writeup on how to value blogs for purchase.
There are a lot of ideas that bloggers can use even if they are not interested in selling. Basically, he goes through a total Search Engine Optimization (SEO) profile of your blog.
But why is SEO important? There is a whole industry on optimizing content for search engines. Basically, the more you are seen on search engines the more visitors you get. The more visitors you get, there are more ads you can sell. More ads equals more money.
I don’t sell ads on this site currently. I have dabbled in the past, but I have never found a way to make them unobtrusive with Adsense. I haven’t tried Text Link Ads or any of their competitors out of sheer laziness. But before I do, I will certainly run through Raj’s steps to make sure that the site is fully SEO compliant.
