Stimator - "real" website value estimator
$timator is a site that purports to estimate the true monetary value of your website. Simply enter a URL, and $timator goes to work, analyzing things like search engine placings, back-links, and site structure to come up with an ultimate dollar value.
When I tried it for my 5 year-old personal blog, it came up with a relatively modest $1979, which to be honest feels a little generous (but I'll take it). However, Download Squad is apparently worth well over $31 million, which seems more than slightly absurd, particularly considering that based on this screenshot google.fr is valued at just over $18 million.
These "your website is worth x amount of money" have to be taken for what they're worth: a fun tool to play with and dream about how you could buy a few extra cases of beer if you were to sell your site. If Download Squad were for sale, can you imagine the party we could throw if we sold it based on $timator's valuation? You're all invited.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

$7,471 for Webmaster-Source.com. Doesn't sound *too* wild to me. It does pretty good ad-wise, as long as I make sure the 125x125 inventory is filled.
It's not for sale though. :P

My website is filled with content (500+ posts) and it's one buck less than yours? AMAZING... The picture on your site must make the difference. LOL

My site is worth $57. It's parked with no content, basically a personal FTP site. The funny thing is, I can sell it for less than the annual upkeep fees.

They are trying to sell the site for $9,000 when the tool on their site says it is worth $7,017?
I wonder why they haven't had any bids yet.

It's definitely fun to play with, but it's pretty silly that perezhilton.com is only valued at $6.2 million, regardless of what one's opinion of the site is.

I think it estimates a bit high. $5K on one my sites that I only make ~$100 a year on. Maybe they are selling POTENTIAL...like Twitter. Ha.

My site http://idealincome.ws has a value of $2920 which for the sales I have made through this site would show the value. However, I feel knowing the base is growing and many of these sales will pick up or continue it may be worth more. Plus there is an item it cant value and that is the list building this site does for me. If you are interested in a cash generating site email me!

If anybody is interested in purchasing my 1 month old domain "suggest.ws" worth only "$299,841 US". My other website" http://www.wallpaperjoint.com" worth "$9,929 US". The funny thing is wallpaperjoint.com is linked in many websites and is a older domain. How accurate are these sites anyway?
