I was searching for a tool that could really find the value of any blog/site. In the begining i found two-three tools but i wasnt impressed because more the tools, more are the reports and you can calculate a better average of your blog worth. But after searching for 3 weeks or so i prepared a list of wonderful tools that could find how much is a site valued just by entering Url of your site. These tools calculate your website value based on no. of aspects like :
->No. of backlinks to your site.
->Rank of your site.
->No. of visitors, etc.
->Age of domain name.
I cant tell how much you can trust these tools but they would really give you satisfaction that all that you have done for your site/blog is being added to the blog value.

Here is the list :
Business-oppurtunities
Your-website-value
Website-value-calculator
Smartpagerank
Cwire
Site-value-calculator
Estibot
Dnscoop

reputation monitoring made easy
Enjoy calculating :)

When talking about blog, the art of binding the visitors plays a crucial role. Lets talk in terms of statistics. Consider, a blog gets 100 unique visitors per day from search engines. He may be getting these many visitors, but they will just be entering, reading what they wanted. If they like your blog they will bookmark it or subscribe to its RSS. If they do not find anything interesting they will leave your site. Suppose this continues for 5 days. The total visitors will be 100x5 = 500. But what if you could increase this? . If the visitors that left could be called back the amount of visits to your blog can be increased to large amount. Let me explain. If we consider the above stats and assume the visitors that left come back every day (considering you update your blog every day) the new stats would be 100+(100+100)+(100+100+100)+(100+100+100+100)+(100+100+100+100+100) = 1500 which is 3 times original traffic! . Although this calculation cannot be fully perfect, we can see that it can make a huge difference if you tempt your visitors to visit your blog again.

The number of visitors that interact with your blog daily is much less compared to those who leave your site just after one visit. To stop these visitor leakages you should take good care about following things.
-Update your blog/posts after minimum possible intervals.
-Descent appearance of blog.
-Promote your RSS feed using large attractive logos.
-Keep an email feed subscription form on your blog.
-Contests are good way of binding your visitors but it should be such that users hesitate to enter it at first look. Activities like forcing users to subscribe to your blog or forcing them to write about your blog on their blog to enter the contest will reduce amount of participants. Keep it simple.
-Give away freebies to users.
-Regular replies to comments on your blog.
-Avoid duplicate content. Users wont prefer reading anything again what they have read on any other site.

From where do you get all the visitors to your site?
The sources from where they come are very important and regularly tracking them can give you basic idea of what kind of people visit you site/blog, helping you to further improvise on SEO. The sources of traffic can be divided into 3 groups :
1)Direct sources
2)Search engine sources
3)Referring sources
Direct sources are the visits by people who visit your site directly by entering URL ino their browser. It can include you, your friends and visitors who enter through bookmarks.
Search engine sources are the search engines which drive traffic to your site. Knowing the keywords for which you earn traffic is very important.
Referring sources are sites which contain link of your site in them. These are mainly social bookmarking sites, blog communities, social networking sites, etc.

Here are some sites that will help you determine these sources :

Sitemeter
SignUp for a sitemeter free counter, you get an option "By referral" in the sidebar which give you details of the sources. You also have option to see what the users clicked on your site.

Mybloglog
This is my favourite tool. Mybloglog is a blog community, if you dont have an id Signup there and add a blog/site to your profile. You get an option to know statistics of your site. This lets you know visitor sources and also what users clicked on your site.

I have listed these under traffic sources topic but they will provide you a lot more info about your visitors like :

What they clicked on your site (Important specially when you use ppc ads or referral links).
