How much is your website worth? Find out with dnScoop

find out how much your website is worth with dnscoop

dnScoop is an online tool that bunches many popular domain lookup tools into one.

It's a location where users can check out the traffic of a particular domain, see the domains history, popularity, PageRank, count inbound links, and perhaps the coolest feature, get a site's dollar value report.

Start off by entering your chosen URL, and then choose a category from the 10 supplied. dnScoop will spit out the results pretty quickly after running through a number of checks and balances.

For instance, in a search on downloadsquad.com, we see that the domain has a Google PR value of 6 with 1,390,153 inbound links. Alexa traffic ranks are provided, as well as the number of indexed pages downloadsquad.com has in major search engines. Last but not least, the most interesting feature, the value report. dnScoop takes all of the above results and calculates them with a special formula to give them a dollar amount. In this case, downloadsquad.com is valued at $5,654,000. And of course you can show this amount off with your very own valuation button to add to your website.

It's a neat figure to show off to your friends, but I wouldn't base any real life transactions on dnScoop data.

Lol, not very accurate. It said my site was worth 16,000 dollars. Now, its only a gaming clan website and we only have about 70 members. This is crazily inaccurate

Only $3,000 for our site ( http://www.gigatribe.com ). That seems a bit low considering the incredible software product we give away for free on it!

This website is a look-alike of www.smartpagerank.com, and it's a bad one at that. They use under-handed tactics to steal website traffic! Please read this for a better explanation: http://www.dnscoopsucks.com/

No!!! My blog (http://42xlii.blogspot.com) doesn't worth anything. :(

Nice program :) my site (http://www.CrunkedOut.com) is worth more than I thought it would be at over 17,000.00. However I'm concerned about the Alexa results of all the sites I checked... Basically the results say that Alexa rankings are "Wild" even for sites in the 10,000 range... And I noticed that sites with higher Alexa rankings aren't necessarily (about 1/2 the time) worth more than sites with lower rankings... I think Alexa needs to reconfig their way of traffic reporting...

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
