No doofus.
The general valuation for a website on sale is 10-20 times monthly earnings.

And…

The site only works for entire domains, so blogs hosted on another domain like the Fanhouse SBNation won’t qualify be accurate to that individual blog whatsoever.

Dood, ya’ gotta think before you post.

And FWIW, unique includes any non-duplicate IP that fetches the URL, not just registered users. It might be a pretty big number.

I have no idea what that link is all about, but you’re crazy if you don’t just use Adblock Plus. It’s a genius extension and takes 60 seconds to install.

Firefox is the best thing ever.

by alon91 on Jan 25, 2009 7:19 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

That link

Works at the lower level of the local machine IP stack, thereby using much less resources/memory.

And, not everyone uses FF. This solution works with any browser, and across multiple OS platforms, with minor tweaks.

Excellent, but that's work

I’m so lazy I just keep AdMuncher, which blocks everything except the few source refs I choose to put into it’s exception filter. So far (5 years) I’ve only entered two, and last month removed one of those.

I also enjoy flair

but I think my favorite is when people on my flist send each other flair I made (like the “CD is a big ol dork” one), knowing that unless they set their options to show it, they have no idea who made it :D

I bet it was the Bucky Katt flair that is the same picture he is using as his avatar here. I got that one too.

I appreciate Bucky as much as the next person, but I admit I was a little confused. :)
