Midlife Musings

Reflections on life from 40-something

My ego hurts

June26

I just visited a site that told me how much this domain is worth, and I am a little disappointed. You will remember from other posts that I watch these sorts of things because….well, because I have an ego. At LeapFish, they weigh a variety of factors and give you a quote. According to them, Midlife Musings has a value of $21. Umm, compared to the hours and hours I have poured into this site, I am worth negative pennies per hour. My longest running site, CassKnits! is worth a mere $912. Good thing I’m not interested in selling, right?

Anyway, you can get other info at LeapFish, too. They’ve looked at and compared the various domain registrars and hosting services, and listed their top picks. They have tutorials and articles on choosing domain names, as well. It’s too late for me, but if you are thinking of starting a website, you should give them a quick read.

EDIT 7/4 I totally entered my sites incorrectly. When I only out in the domain name, the values were $989 and $10,908. I’m still not selling, LOL!

    Mine is also worth $21, as is skeet’s. I think that must be the LeapFish magic number :)

    holy cow! I’ve never seen that particular site, only the technorati value one. according to Leapfish, MLT(.com, not .net or .org) is worth nearly 3K. not that I’d ever sell any of them mind you.. but what a cool tool.

    Wow! Mine http://www.thedietdiary.com is worth $8,549! Whooo hoooo!

    All that “diet” SEO wasted on a knitting site!

    Maybe so…but from the rest of the comments, I think we are being short changed!

    old post, but I have to comment. I came back here tonight to find this link because I couldnt remember it (now I’ve bookmarked it) but I have to point out. Last week when you posted this, MLT was worth nearly 3k.
    In.One.Week of doing SEO all by my little self, its increased 1k (and my alexa has dropped significantly!)

    What a fun little project :)

    I’m so glad you came back to this post. I had entered my sites incorrectly, and the correct values are much more pleasing to my ego.

I'm Cass. I am a full-time mom to eight great children, a Christian and a blogger. I'm also a knitter, a reader and a movie watcher. And a collector of eclectic oddities.

For the first time in 18 and a half years, I have my own little corner again. Somewhere along the way, I seem to have lost myself, and now that I realize I'm missing, I'm on the look out for me. You maybe don't know what that means, but then again, maybe you do. Regardless, this is where I'll be when I'm not being a mother or a knitter. This is where I'll be just me. And if no one ever reads it, that's ok. I'll know it's here.
