How does our calculator work?

Our users often come up with these questions:



“How did you calculate the worth of this website?”



“How did you estimate the numbers of visitors and pageviews?”



“How did you calculate daily, monthly revenue? We don’t make any money with our website.”



We will try to explain the basics about our algorithm here.





Input



We use public traffic ranking data to start with our calculations. We use Alexa Traffic Rank to estimate traffic figures; visits and pageviews.





Revenue of a Website



We use our traffic estimation to calculate “potential” advertising revenue of a website. We know that every website is unique.



Some sell stuff online which is impossible for us to know how much they make. Some do not use advertising or any other type of revenue source, so our figures will show only the potential of that website.



We “assume” that the website is using ads and affiliate programs to make money.





Ranking of a Website



Estimated website worth: We calculate it based on our estimation for daily, monthly, annual revenue.



Worth Of Web Rank: We calculate it based on traffic figures we used.





Accuracy of Our Calculator



Our mission is to provide a comparison tool to help you track your progress. Improving websites, blogs, and online businesses is a difficult task. Automated tools like our website value calculator come in handy by creating a score/ranking to track your progress and compare yourselves with your competitors.



We are totally aware that it is practically impossible to be accurate with these estimations. After all, we are using public ranking systems which are not so accurate in the first place. We build our report based on these numbers and on our assumption that website is working on advertising/affiliate revenue model.



So please don’t expect anything 100% accurate from this automated algorithm.



However, if you are about to sell or buy a website/web-based business, please check our "Sell a Website" or "Buy a Website" pages and contact us. For qualified sellers and buyers, our licensed exit consultants can provide an accurate evaluation and point you in the right direction for free.
