DISQUS

Maybe rather than SME we need a number tag. Turnover is USD divided by number of staff. So a business turning over $25,000,000 with 40 staff would be a 625 business.

The other aspect that do don't cover is time. Even if you are the best in a particular field, it takes time to build a following and reputation. Many online entrepreneurs chop and change every few months not realising that what they started with may be the answer if only they had persisted.

Thanks for an interesting post.

Thanks for the guide. Great contents. I had a client who wanted my to write to Google and ask them to remove some negative reviews about his service. Good luck I said !

I'm using Facebook less and less. It was consuming too much time and getting too cluttered.

As much as I see Google as the Gorilla of the Internet, I do admire the innovations that they implement. Google sky reminds us how insignificant we all are in the big scheme of things. I hadn't heard of Google sky until I read this post.

Thank you.

Maybe it says: I'm an Apple fanboy and I like free music and software?

I probably get 3-4 offers a week of links on blogs and web sites. The offers range from $900 for 5 permanent links on PR6 blogs, through to $50 per link on PR5 sites.

When I check out the backlinks there's usually only a handful for these sites. When I ask the owners how they got such good PR for so few links I never get a reply :) I wonder why?

I wonder what the limit is in terms of the number of social networks. I'm flat out maintaining stuff in Facebook, Linkedin and the Australian Bloggers Forum, yet alone joining any more.

Does anyone keep rankings of these networks?

Thanks for the tip. As much as I like the brown theme some of my co-workers just don't get it. Blubuntu may just tip them over the edge.

Is there a Macbuntu?

Where do these people get the time to join and read the stuff on these social networks. Methinks some of it must get outsourced to lower wage countries.

I figure from an advertising revenue point of view a blog brings in 1.4 cents per unique visitor (based on some wild guesses and some soft data from blogging for money sites).

So, if was can assume a business asset is worth 5 times yearly earnings, then:

Blog value in cents = 5 x (unique daily visitors x 365 x 1.4 cents)

It's a rough as guts but it is a start.

So if this blog, for example, gets 500 unique visitors per day, then it is worth about $12,775.
