¡¡Inspired by Tristan Louis's research into the value of each link to Weblogs Inc, I've created this little applet using Technorati's API which computes and displays your blog's worth using the same link to dollar ratio as the AOL-Weblogs Inc deal.

¡¡Data for the rest of us?

¡¡In acquiring Weblogs Inc., AOL has now provided us with some numbers traditional media are willing to pay for a blog. Looking at the numbers above, one can try to guess at the value of a link from an external site. a single link on the weblogsinc network represents 0.002258559942180087 percent of the overall network.
¡¡At the different rumored price points from AOL, it looks as follows:
¡¡
¡¡I don't know if those values are based on any real rationale but it's nice to dream up the value of one's blog based on this.
Should we now assume that traditional media companies are willing to pay between $500 and $1000 per site that links into a blog?
