Rent Boy - Web standards, accessibility and coding techniques by Stephen Tucker

Rent Boy

3rd July 2006

Following my decision not to dedicate this article to my hatred for Christiano Ronaldo (football player and maggot responsible for England's World Cup demise) I thought I'd instead brag to you the worth of this very website using a cool little tool I found here.

Charismatic Arrogance

Before I found out what I was actually worth I checked out a few other popular blogs. I felt Zeldman.com would perhaps be a little too optimistic, especially at $914,554.80. Same goes for Mezzoblue at $833,825.58. However I was fairly confident Id come close to a player like Jon Hicks at $464,051.88. Furthermore I was certain I'd top John Oxton's JoshuaInk at a mere $219,041.52.

The final result? Maybe just slightly less than id anticipated:

   Haha. That system is based on Technorati, which only indexes blogs of well-known scripts, like WordPress, Movabletype, etc. Yours is custom built :P

   It's always "fun" to get surprises like that. I had something similar happen not too long ago.

   You know, 'stevetucker' is a fairly straight-forward name. You would think that since it consists of 2 well-known names that it would have easily returned a descent monetary number...but what do i know :P
