Well, I just made a few design adjustments and I think I know why its going so slow. I have hosting with 2 diff companies and siteamount seems to be slowed down by my host. Queries go through much faster on the other server but I don't have any domain space. Later I might swap them around.
Cool tool. $33K for our main domain, and $3K-$7K for each of our other 30 domains, but of course that can't take into account our annual take for advertising... Still, a neat source to check links and whatnot.
I have put together a good list of updates that I will be putting in place tonight. Without all the feedback it would not be possible
Update | As of 11:43 EST Okay, so I just put up the changes and everything is live. I did some tweaking with the algorithm and introduced the use of revenue models to the formula. I did not get around to adding a progress bar tonight because I did not have any time. I spent most of it working on ideas to gather Alexa information but it seems that they now charge to sue their APIs and have made it very hard to strip data. Test it out and tell me what you think. I made a lot of new variables within the algo and it seems to be a lot closer than it was before. Let me know, Thanks. BTW: Since I started this thread there have been over 100 sites run through the system. This gave me a great amount of knowledge to work with.
Thanks, im hoping some of those from yesterday try it again and see if its accurate this time around.
Ideas are nice. Implementation is gold. Luckily, he is taking the feedback and making improvements at a good pace.
What you would do is take revenue you earned for 3 or 4 months, add it together, and then divide it by the amount of months you used. This gives you a good base average for your monthly income on the site.
Estimates are much, much more accurate now, and good on you on showing different revenue models (not sure that's the right term, tho ). One thing you might want to consider is adding another user field, "Site Subject". When I ran my personal site, I got $118, which I believe is close (maybe just a TINY bit over). But I'm sure if a site with the same stats and revenue but about, say, sports would be worth a little more.
I was actually thinking about that last night. I am working in DMOZ, yahoo directory, Technorati and Digg information as we speak. Its just a pain compiling all of the queries. I have it going as fast as possible but my host's servers just suck. They say they are using HP Dual Core servers with 4 gig of ram but even uploading via FTP is slow. My other host was much faster and they only ran 2 GBs of ram. I wish I had enough money to buy my own, then I would really be able to open this site up. @Sketch Thats a good idea. I will defiantly put some thought into that. I will see if I can come up with an equation to place value on certain types of sites.
Do you need anything outside the "standard" LAMP configuration (Linux - Apache - MySQL - PHP)? PM me if you don't want to post it in the clear. Or don't PM me if you don't want me to know either
@Phynder It does use standard LAMP but if I was going to change to a private server it would only be mine Wouldn't want to give anyone else access to the files now would we
A private server would be best - although I expect some of the queries are going to be slow not matter how good the server is - since you will be waiting on the search engines' servers to respond. Before spending the money on a private server, take a look at the response time of your queries.
I have the same scripts on my other server, the page loads with all data in less than 5 seconds and this is WITH multiple queries. The problem is my other host will not let me run the script public because it does require a lot of memory. I have a few ideas though... Ill share more when I know what im going to do. Thanks for the offer though.
nice idea not sure why it doesn't list any backlinks because i know for a fact that my site is listed on a few other sites.... and it's a lot better then an appraisal site i used a few days ago lmfao that said my site was worth ** US$980** lolol your site says it's worth $95 lol yeah i doubt i'd get that but whatever makes me feel special hehehe in the link popularity it says Google Not Available....my site is indexed by google i like the simplicity....it did take a while, and had i not read this thread i would've thought it was broken as well....
For those links that say not Available, click the engine to the left and it will bring you to the page. As for not having back links, if theres no backlinks theres no backlinks. The requests are all sent live. Maby the pages you have links on just havent been updated yet in the engine to show your links.
