    I was just lookin' around and then I got bored... So I went to Leap Fish and looked up sites like... Google.com :D

    Then I looked up "forums.digitalpoint.com" to see how much DP is worth and I couldn't believe my eyes it is worth a stagering 4.8 million dollars...

    Wow thats crazy here is the link to it...

    http://leapfish.com/domain_name_appraisal.php?url=forums.digitalpoint.com

    And they think "google.com" is worth 898.5 mil...

    Thats crazy...

    Maybe it is - depends how much someone is willing to pay for it.
    I'm not sure about $5m, but I think in the millions is a better way to put it.

    Leap fish never works too good. Everything I have had rated with it is way over the actual value. I would say this site is in the mid xx,xxx

    To be totally honest that kind of link is a bit like them shitty text in for the "sex of your baby" adverts we get in the U.K, i.e completely random.

    DP is a great forum and no doubt worth a load of money because of it's reputation but take 5 mil with a pinch of salt. :D

    For example, one of my sites www.bookmethatnight.com turns over a fortune a month and it was valued at just $331 :confused:

    At the end of the day the old adage still holds true as Geoffrey just said, a site is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. :p

    I would say in the 1 million... No less... This Forum turns over $10'000 a month, thats $120'000 a year...

    Even is it was $99'999 a person that bought it would earn his money in no time and reap the benefits like crazy... A million is a good figure although a company may buy it for more if they think they can get more than $10'000 a month...

    Leapfish is a piece of inaccurate crap. I wouldn't believe anything it spouts out. But yeah, DP is probably worth a few hundred thousands.. that's my guess.

    it's not worth 5M if you ask me, maybe 1M at max
    by google.com you mean just the domain, right?

    I'd say a lot more than $5mil. Leapfish gives a rough figure based on PR and Backlinks not on revenue or traffic which this sites has a lot of :)

    Does anyone know what criteria the Leapfish site uses to determine a website's value? I know it looks at backlinks and PR but how does the site then come up with a value and why is it usually insanely high or low?

    Yah it's just the domain name... Although that will create a shit load of traffic to the site... And google aint gonna sell their site any time soon...

    No way DP is good but 1-2 mil is a lot...

    Not so sure... PR has to do with it...

    5 million for DP no way, not even 1 million, unless some one gets real desperate.

    Pagerank has a lot to do with it, pagerank can make a domain worth hundreds or thousands more!

    Don't under estimate DP... It gets home $120'000 a year...

    With a million one can easily build as successful forum as DP. Also usually its 12-24 months revenue that gets paid for a site, not 120 months!

    True, but i think DP can make much more with the right proportion of adverts, not much really currently, can earn up to $30k a month I think and I know, probably about 300k-500k now... However if more ads come up it can be worth a million because of revenue...

    I think DP is worth atleast 1 million dollars. This is certainly one of the most active forums out there.
