Do I suck that much at Monetiziation?

    Or is this site completely off?
    http://www.websiteoutlook.com

    for almost every site I own it tells me I should be making 10-200 times daily what the site really makes. Although the other data is fairly accurate.

    Do i really suck that much at monetizing?

    have you tried cubestat? www.cubestat.com (grr can't put links in yet :( )

    I bought a domain 2 weeks ago and it was showing it as having a value of just over $1350, the domain was new, no backlinks. Strange.

    That one is a bit closer in valuation, although its giving me an average of $3.50 CPM (facebook only gets $0.35-$1.00 CPM in contrast).

    To find the CPM its listing for you take the daily revenue / the daily page views x 1,000

    My guess is both of these use assumptions about Alexa rankings to decide number of pageviews and revenue.

    I tried one of my sites, valued $7,957!!
    If someone wants to buy it at that price, PM me anytime ;)
    After clicking on the Update data button, it went up to $10,600: you have to be fast if you want to bid!!

    OK, let's be constructive a bit now.
    I guess you should work on your 'sitemaps' pages, maybe you could make one per day looking like your new_websites.html page with a little close-up (like the estimated data for instance) for one of them, so the visitors coming from SE will try to use your site.

    You could try some banner/data from sedo.com too (or other programs aimed at webmasters and domain names).

    If you really want to monetize your site you need to either find/create a good product to sell OR you need to sell your ad space directly. You will never get as much from google ads (or otherwise) as you will from selling your own ad space.

    The fact is that I have learned that each site differs from another one so much that you can not estimate it this way. I have a site that makes around $80/mo doing nothing, just from search engines and I have another one with 5-600 visits/day and I don't make $15/mo out of it and I have another one with 8500 visitors per month making around $280/mo. Depends so much...

    I've never found a really accurate program that estimate value. I've had a site making 2k a month and it tells me its worth like 2k total and another time I've had a site making nothing and it tell me it's worth a thousand. I think a lot matters on how your site is designed and set up and these programs can't accurately figure that out.

    Cubestat is quite accurate on traffic based monetization sites (so sites that earn with CPM/CPC) ; not for lead sites or other businesses (working on that ;).

    All those sites tell me my site is worth something different and I should be making more ad money , however, who knows which one is the most accurate.
