CEO net worth takes a plunge?

[Soi Dog]

I admittedly know nothing about how these website analyzing sites work. I know everybody says they are crap. But I would at least think they would be consistent in their analysis, even if the actual dollar amounts are dubious. So what is going on here?







Just for comparison, here is a competitor's data from the same website:

must have changed their metrics

Anyways interesting stuff on those sites.

One thing I will say is that NONE OF THEM are consistent at all. Period.

They are all over the place. Even the simple data jumps wildly across those sites.

I assume they are similar to "benchmark" apps people use for phones, which is about just as random.

I'm not surprised that different sites come up with drastically different valuations based on their own unique algorithms. I am curious why this one site would show a nearly identical drop in value for both forums over nearly the same time frame. I assumed that site used the same algorithm then and now. Maybe that is not the case. I'm too lazy to find other similar web traffic analysis websites to see if it is a trend or just one particularly inconsistent site. It just struck me as interesting because their valuation seemed somewhat close to the rumored K440 sale price back then, unless I am remembering the figures incorrectly.

Yeah, I guess what I mean is that some are just so far off the mark from what's even possible they just seem "almost" like random data sometimes.

For instance, CEO, by any real measures would undoubtedly show an increase from then until now. I guess that brings me back to smartphone benchmarks. Some new phones come out that completely blow every previous phone out of the water, and people complain it gets lower benchmarks than a phone that's 2 years older.

I think it might be a valid point about their "metrics" changing.

I don't have K440's data, but it seems unlikely that it would have dropped in value so much in that amount of time, but who knows.

Either way, that's strange, and yes, K440 sold for a little less than $20,000.

Some sites want you to give them access to your Google Analytics data/etc so that they can give you a more accurate assessment, but it all seems random anyways and only a few stats seem like they would be more accurate if they had some of that extra data.

[And for the record, I know fuck all about a lot of the stats these sites provide, but enough to see that they are just all over the place and even simple stuff doesn't match across any of them most of the time.]

Somebody paid $20K for 440?

I can't believe that.

Proof , please gentlemen.

What, like a sales receipt? I recall the price dropping another $2,000 when it was discovered that they had been double-reporting their page view traffic to potential buyers and advertisers.

A work permit will suffice.

A work permit will suffice.

I'll get back to you on that.

Those valuation sites are comical at best. Hell, a professional marketing analyst trying to appraise a website, with all of the analytics and revenue data at his disposal, and value it has a hell of a time and is fairly arbitrary... much less a computer algorithm.

With both sites dropping in around the same period, likely as stated a change to their metric. The probably realized they were making sites WAY overinflated. No way either of our sites were worth those numbers. The fact theirs sold for that... well... people pay tens of thousands to "buy" a leased bar here as well.
