Those sites that determine "value" have no value themselves.

Their valuations result from a generic algorithm that uses unfounded input parameters. It's unlikely site owners will provide the proprietary information that is used in the algorithm. Even if they did, the sites' *value* depends on what their individual users determine it to be. Each site is different, and each user is different. However, there is SOME statistical info that can be harvested from various other analytical sites on the web ... and that data can be misleading and/or incorrect.

In short, those sites are only good for the entertainment they provide.

But, those valuation sites serve ads, which generates revenue for them.

It's a vicious cycle.

Check out statstool.com's valuation of itself:

statstool.com.statstool.com

$10 ???

I hope they're not trying to sell their site to the highest bidder.

Sure is a pretty day.
