Coming Unmoored’s $timator Value
On a silly note, I stumbled across the $timator website last night where you can supposedly calculate the “real website value”. Naturally, I had to plug in Coming Unmoored. I came in around $5,000 which is a far cry from Amazon.com’s $619 million.
$timator even goes so far as to provide a dispassionate report of your website’s charms and failings. Apparently I have great internal and external linkage and search engine recognition, but I’m not, ahem, terribly popular with the web crowd at large. (Why do I suddenly feel like I’m back in middle school and just been told I’m not invited to sit with the cool kids at lunch?)
Of course, being in the middle of renovations, my brain immediately translated my web-value number to all the new fixtures for the bathroom plus a on demand water heater. Not that I really think anyone would want to buy my little corner of cyberspace, but it made me laugh.
I’ll be glad when I can stop converting everything into dollar values.

Mine came in at $84. My author page came in at $55 (but it is still a work in progress, and I don’t consider it launched just yet). But if you aren’t cool enough to hang with the cool kids, then I’m obviously that loner in the corner! LOL!
