So How Much Are Comics Websites Worth Anyway?
Yesterday it was announced that Jonah Weiland had sold Comicbookresources.com to Valmet. No money was mentioned, but I was told it was a sizable eight figure sum.
But how much are websites actually worth? CBR would have come with all the offices as well, but what price a URL?
Well, here's what Worth Of Web estimates a number of comic book news websites (including this one) are worth, based on traffic, page ranking and demographic. It's probably a lot of nonsense… but hey. Here's what they say.
Comics Alliance = $1.9 million
But Comic Book Resources? $62.5 million.
Boom.
However Comic Book? A rather high $78 million….
Which is odd, because when they link to Bleeding Cool we never see traffic from it – but we do from CBR…
Oh and compared to the publishers?
Okay, I could afford that last one…
