How Much Is Your Website Worth?
Valuing websites is extremely hard and there’s no set method for doing it. However, it is worthwhile having a rough idea of how much your site is worth as you may wake up one morning to find a surprise email with an offer. I’ve had a few offers in the past, but I’ve [...]

Matt Cutts managed to add the links back in by adding the following code:
Pimp My Blog Week 13: VinodLive
Well I guess it had to happen eventually. This week up for a pimping we have Vinodlive.com who is one of the 6000 sites using my theme, which should make this week interesting. Vinod has even implemented some of the features on my site that aren’t available in the public theme!
Vinod has asked [...]
Connected Internet Directory Hits 200 Links
The Connected Internet Directory has just added its 200th link and about 10% of the links have added a reciprocal link to my site even though this isn’t a requirement. I’m quite happy with this as I haven’t paid a penny to promote the directory(apart from $25 to buy the software) and so far [...]

Digital Inspiration tries to answer a question posed by Felicia Coley on how much she should charge for direct advertising. The method that Amit proposed was to run a Google Adsense unit in the same slot and to note the CPM, and then charge the advertiser 20% less.
I think the logic here is [...]
Just How Good Are Translator Plugins?
Martin from gHacks is recruiting human translators to convert his site into other languages so that he can extend the reach of his site. I’ve been relying on the troublesome Angsuman Translator plugin to automatically perform the same task on my site, but I’ve never really stopped to think about how accurate the translations [...]
