Anything is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. But... It raises an interesting question. If you have a property that is worth 1.5 million, and it generates a quarter-million a year, do you sell out? You'll get six years of income and not have to work everyday. You'd get more if you worked it for more than six years, but that's, you know, work. I suppose it depends on the hard numbers. In my situation, I would take the money and run, since I am nearer to retirement age than Alex is, and I am a single parent who doesn't spend enough time with my kids (who will be adults in another ten years). I could retire now on a million and a half. If the numbers were smaller, it would take some thinking... Alex has said that the numbers are inflated.

So many of the blogs on the list are Self Promotion vehicles;I think Neatorama,though, has kept a wonderful mixture or weird, funny, and/or educational posts. This blog is updated frequently also. As an occasional insomniac, I appreciate that. I wouldn't begrudge anybody the opportunity to make that kind of money, but I hope you keep doing what your doing. Neatorama rocks.

But the top blogs on the list (yours among them) probably are worth it in this sense: when appraising something's value from an investment perspective, do you think its future will be brighter or darker than its current state? With that in mind, it's harder to determine if the top blogs are actually over- or under-valued. <a href="http://thenerfherder.blogspot.com/2008/03/are-blogs-over-or-under-valued.html" rel="nofollow">http://thenerfherder.blogspot.com/2008/03/are-blogs-over-or-under-valued.html</a> Most bloggers just hope to make enough money from their labor of love to buy their girlfriend an occasional dinner.
