I started to post this a few days ago and never finished. I told my husband about this and I had to then take him out to dinner since I was so valuable! HAHAHA! All joking aside, it is great to see people like Kathy Sierra with a higher blog "valuation" than some of the big name boys (Tom Peters, somehow I think you would cheer this!)

Anecdote: Who's leading the stakes in the blogosphere? Women or Men?

A recent profile on Women business bloggers only listed about 5 women business bloggers. I was sure there must be more, and I was also curious whether women bloggers are the quiet achievers in the blogosphere…So using a tool which can value blogs I thought it would be fun to look at where women stand compared to a couple (*) of leading male bloggers: Tom Peters and Seth Godin. The results seem pretty clear…

So my blog is worth something in the vicinity of $84 K as determined by this blog valuation tool (which calculates off of inbound links, I think.)

The flippant side of me says, "how can I use that mythical $84 K to invest in a beach home, or better chocolate." But the side of me that probably devalues myself in terms of $$ due to long inbred habits as a woman is smiling. I have only been blogging for 1.5 years. I haven't the guru status of some of the high end folks, yet this crazy, imaginary metric still gives us some sense of how we build "value" via blogging.

The value that has accrued to me is the connectedness blogging has allowed me with other people and their thinking which keeps me on my game. I can't lag: my community keeps me going. That's valuable!

Thanks for the comparison (and thought provocation) Andrew!
