Kinda interesting - the $$ value of TFL
http://directory.sootle.com/website-worth/tata.php
$95K and change. I know it's highly inaccurate - but interesting anyhow. My bet is that on one of those occasions the server hiccupped and Rich spent endless hours getting it back up and running he'd have paid somebody to take it off his hands. |

My guess?
Any website that allows banner ads, pop-ups, and other forms of advertising is going to have a much higher value.

Interesting....
When I typed in thefiringline.com the result was $125.00. Yet type in www.thefiringline.com and you get $95,624.00. The first address is the correct address.... thehighroad.org = $219.00 www.thehighroad.org = $87,743.00 Similar results for all websites that do not use a "www" in their address! |

Antipitas, that's not really true. There's nothing "correct" about thefiringline.com vs www.thefiringline.com
There's nothing special about a "www." prefix, either. It's just customary for Foo, inc. to have its website accessible at both "foo.com" and "www.foo.com" It looks like that site is judging the value of a website based on the number of links to that site from elsewhere on the web. Those numbers mean that many more people link to "www.thefiringline.com" than link to "thefiringline.com"

Tyme, while I think that you are probably correct for the most part, there are quite a number of places that you won't get to, if preceeded by a "www." Conversely, lack of.
I suggest trying the Library of Congress with a "www" preceeding it.... |

Oh, I see what you're getting at. I was describing only second-level domains like foo.com, not lower-level domains like foo.bar.com (www.foo.bar.com quite often will not work).
People and companies usually register second-level domains like foo.com or foo.org. For those domains, the main website will usually be at both www.foo.com and foo.com, www.foo.org and foo.org. When you add levels to the domain, all bets are off. Something like research.att.com might have www.research.att.com (it does), but something like thomas.loc.gov probably won't have a corresponding www.thomas.loc.gov. It's all up to the people who register the domains what to do with them. There are plenty of domains (not catering to visitors) that have no websites, either at foo.com or www.foo.com or bar.foo.com or www.bar.foo.com.
