That’s where the website valuation software, or lets say website valuation service, Ebizvaluations comes into play. The service requires data that can only be known to the owner of the website or to a seller who has either seen the information on a website (like the website selling platform Flippa) or who has been in contact with the owner of the property.

Data that has to be entered include the monthly income and expenses, the months the site has been making that income and the type of site. There are additional – but optional – fields that can be filled out including the number of monthly uniques and pageviews, the members, the uniqueness of the content and the skill required to run the website.

All of these information will be taken into account plus the information that can be gathered from public sources including the Google Pagerank, Alexa rank and Compete rank.

The website report will list all computed background information plus an estimated valuation of the website.

The valuation is usually more precise thank those of automatic website valuation tools thanks to the additional data that is entered by the user. The only difficulty that users can experience is the need to acquire the data that needs to be entered. It usually is not a problem to gather the data from website auctions but it could be for websites that are not up for auction.

Performing that task manually can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days depending on the type of website or project. Hundreds of factors can play a role in determining the real value of a website.

There is another solution albeit less accurate and not suitable for serious business. Website value calculators will analyze and calculate a value of a website in seconds. Stimator is one of those websites and it provides one of the slickest professional interfaces in the niche.

The value of a website is analyzed and calculated as soon as the user enters the domain name in the form on the page. Several different values like backlinks, traffic levels, social and inlinking scores, web recognition and linking data are computed and part of the calculation of the final value.

The site seems to be more accurate than most comparable sites as it lists $1,349,935 as the value of ghacks.net, hehe.

A report can be opened that is displaying several of the scores of the analyzed website. These scores are explained in the about page. The page does not say how they are computed but it lists factors that influence the score.

No value calculator will ever be dead on but there are some that can provide a first impression of a websites value. Serious website buyers on the other hand will never rely on these tools alone but perform a manual analysis before they consider bidding or buying a website.

Are you a webmaster? What is the value of your website according to the tool? Do you think it is dead on or way off?
