			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you&#8217;ve been running a website or a blog for quite sometime now. Ever wondered what&#8217;s your website worth? Ever thought how much would you get if you decide to sell it off ? Web Valuer is a website which aims to help you with just that. It tags itself as a website price calculator and estimates your website&#8217;s value based on its Alexa rank and the number of domains linking to it. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6983 aligncenter" src="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/webvaluer1.png" alt="website price calculator" /></p>
<p>It then assigns it a monetary value which is the estimated price according to it if you happen to sell your website.</p>
<p>Keeping aside the accuracy factor (I found most of the results are way off), I&#8217;d say that it&#8217;s certainly a nice fun tool to play with. And as you can see, it values my blog at a cool $66,162. Anyone interested? <img src='http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6984 aligncenter" src="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/webvaluer2.png" alt="website value calculation" /></p>
<p>Some additional website grading tools can be found in previous MakeUseOf article titled as <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/feelin-a-little-cocky-grade-your-website/">Feelin’ a Little Cocky? Grade Your Website!</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Statbrain is a website traffic estimator which shows the estimate number of total visits to a site per day. It also displays information like site&#8217;s Alexa ranking, the number of backlinks to the site as seen in Google and Yahoo, and the location (country) of the server on which the site is hosted. </p>
<p>The number of visits constitute the total number of visitors to the site per day and not unique visitors, which means that repeat visitors in a day could be included as different visitors. Hence the estimate numbers are likely to be a bit bloated.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6554 aligncenter" src="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/statbrain1.png" alt="site traffic estimate" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>404 Error Page Creator is, as the name suggests, a tool from the Allvoices website which lets you design innovative custom 404 error pages for your blog or website. It&#8217;s actually more of a fun tool where you can choose a person from a drop down list and then add title, comments and upto 3 points to the page and then get the corresponding code to embed in your blog or website. The image of person you chose from the list appears in the background of the page.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/404page1.gif" alt="404 error page" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4715" /></p>
<p>Although this site is primarily geared at political humor and hence gives you a list of mostly politicians to choose from, it does allow you to upload your own image as the background thus giving you entire freedom in creating the custom and stylish 404 error page.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is no doubt that if you want to check the speed of your broadband internet connection, you could go to various websites online which offer broadband speed test service for free. However Speed.io, although does the same job of measuring the broadband speed, is different in this league.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s different because it has an elegant user interface which executes the job comprehensively, showing you the accurate download and upload speeds in Kbits and also the number of connections plus the ping or response time of the connection. It further classifies your connection on a scale of bad to excellent giving you an idea of the service which you  are getting from your ISP.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4340" src="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/speedio.gif" alt="broadband speed test" /></p>
<p>Yeah, you can see my internet connection is &#8216; less good &#8216; and it&#8217;s time I switch internet service providers ( if at all there&#8217;s a better ISP in my area <img src='http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Speed.io is flash based tool and also allows you to register for free and save the speed test results.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Quarkbase is a new website check tool which claims to find everything about a website. And when you actually try it out, it certainly displays enough information to live up to your expectations. The homepage of Quarkbase is a Google like plain white page which has a box where you can put in the website name or url you want to check. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/quarkbase1.gif" alt="website check online" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3818" /></p>
<p>Contrary to the homepage, the results page is really comprehensive. It shows the entire description of site, domain owner, date when the site was created, traffic ranks like Alexa and Technorati ranks, Alexa traffic stats, social media reach of the site like in Digg, Delicious and others, similar sites, RSS feeds and much more. The results may not be dead accurate but is nonetheless comprehensive.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/quarkbase2.gif" alt="info about website" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3819" /></p>
