While blogging for about six months I have noticed that some bloggers sell their blogs for a set price and there are other sites that even estimate what your blog is worth and its value. These factors are based on how many indexes, visitor traffic, as well as other information and statistics. This made me ponder, what amount would I sell Dragonblogger.com and would it be worth it? What am I really selling if I were to ebay, or list my blog for sale.
I would be not only giving up the site itself which is a decent name in my opinion, but my whole Dragon Blogger personae that I have developed over the past six months. I am known by more people online now as dragonblogger than my real name, and I would be giving up this entire personae which is like my brand. So it is worth much more than just my simple anonymous site.
Some sites list my blog as being worth $17,000 – $22,000 dollars based on my traffic and stats, and though this may seem like an enormous amount of money (by the way, I doubt anyone would ever offer that for owning this site). Would I sell my blog if someone actually were to offer that amount?
Probably, because I spent 1/2 a year building up the reputation, image, blog and I would probably sell it and start over with a new identity and personae. But I wouldn’t sell it for less than 10k, since I think I can make my blog eventually grow to reach that per year if I stick at it long enough.
So what about my fellow bloggers, are you so attached to your blog that you would never sell, or do you have selling points for all your heart and hard work? I want to know what you think.

You know, that is an interesting one. I have two primary blogs my photography one and my personal one, and to be honest I don’t think I would ever sell them. The content (especially on my personal blog) is a part of me.
I would feel like I was selling off a part of myself. Granted if they came along and offered me $300,000 I might reconsider LOL, but I would have to think long and hard too.

I created Dragonblogger to be my online persona, my personal blog justingermino.com I wouldn’t sell because it is my actual real name and related to my personal life. But realistically for a certain price I might even sell my own name dns name. Lets face it which means more owning justingermino.com or having a million dollars and that kind of security.

I have a friend too he sold his blog for a decent amount thinking it would be best price for his blog.. only to find out he can earn more than enough if he continue optimizing and updating his blog. Dragonblogger.com is a nice niche.. just keep updating on it. I am sure you can earn more bucks as the days progress

I suppose this is a way of looking at a blog as a business and some bloggers as entrepreneurs – creating blogs, developing them, and then selling them. And then go through the process over and over again. To be honest, I’d be happy if someone offers me $10 for mine.
