This is simple and amazing I came across a very interesting post over at: thenextweb.org. It talks about how you can hack Feedburner in 2 minutes (video below) and get a ridiculous amount of RSS feed readers… (fake ones).

This is very very sneaky and would be a great tactic if you were having a RSS contest. (hint-hint / wink-wink) Because, I’ve seen ALOT of sneaky things online from people creating screen shots of their RSS counters and photoshoping another RSS count on the image… to even using another persons Feedburner url on their site so it looks like their site has a large number of readers.

However, this Feedburner hack seems to be fairly new I’m sure people have known about his for a while and possibly profited from it in some way. Check out the video below and be sure to visit thenextweb.org for more information.

When it comes to the break down of a blogs value how do you really know what it’s worth..? That is the ultimate question. There are several ways online that can determine the worth of you blog whether it’s the amount of subscribers you have, the Google page rank you have, the amount of unique traffic you get monthly, or is it just what you think it’s worth?

When it comes to me trying to figure out how much my blog is worth I tend to factor in the time I spend / spent on working with my blog, as well as the maintenance cost of my blog (domain, hosting, etc) is an estimate tool going to factor those in as well..? So when it comes to the online estimating to (which i shall provide below) I tend to take them as simple advice but the ultimate value of my blog is what I think it’s worth.

Below are sites that allow you to get the value of your blog or site for free. Check them out see how much your site is worth!

	BLOG VALUE ESTIMATORS		MY BLOGS VALUE
	DNScoop		$1,545
	Business Oppotunities Blog		$11,290.80
	Your Website Value		$43 (Potential: $4,160)
	Estibot		$30
	Cwire		$99
	Smart Page Rank		$96
	Site Value Calculator		$150
	Website Value Calculator		$103
	Blog Perfume		$216 - $432
	Glurk		$5,389
	45n5 (self estimate)		$2,106.64

Ahhhh… above is exactly my point when it comes to theses sites that estimate the value of your blog / website. What is this $43 for my blog.. WTF that would even fill the tank of my car… Now if you added about three zeros to the end of that number then we can talk ($43,000.00 for those who didn’t understand). When it comes to the “estimated values” above please that the prices go up and down monthly depending upon several factors; traffic, RSS subscribers, Technorati rank, Google Page Rank, and many more… Do you know of any other sites that offer a Blogs worth or Value? If so then leave a comment and share it with others.

As for someone leaving a comment brought to my attention that I forgot to provide resources of the information above (it was late when I posted)… Here are a few sites (it wasn’t just one site) that helped me acquire the information to find out “how much my blog is worth”… JohnCow, Blogote.com, InternetBabel.com and TheNetFool.com. Be sure to check them out as well to see what they have to say about the blog value estimators.
