    I was bored today so i found a website which gave any site's worth,ranking and other stats. I tried looking for a few novel sites.
    Webnovel :
    Estimated worth of this website: $59,500,000
    Estimated revenue per day: $7,257
    Estimated visits per day: 483,867
    Alexa Global Rank for the last 3 months:4,242

    Wuxiaworld
    Estimated worth of this website:$91,750,000
    Estimated revenue per day:$42,492
    Estimated visits per day:2,833,000
    Alexa Global Rank for the last 3 months:1,667

    Novelupdates
    Estimated worth of this website:$28,815,000
    Estimated revenue per day:$4,270
    Estimated visits per day:284,733
    Alexa Global Rank for the last 3 months:7,229

    Honestly, I didn't expect websites to be worth this much. But still is it true that Wuxiaworld has many times more visitors then webnovel? I can't seem to wrap my head around this fact.

    Those websites measuring siteworth are useless.
    If they actually worked, Google and Amazon would have a similar one.
    I guess this explains why readers have a very screwed up view on what websites earn.

    You can easily find information online but there is no guarantee that it isn't crap.

    Google and Amazon have site ranking index so they should have at least part truth to them. But still I'm just looking from user's pov. maybe from site owner's pov its complety different.

    Site ranking and site worth are not the same thing.
    Point still stands. These websites are useless.
    I have referenced them before when negotiating with ad companies and got a reality check.
    Pretty ironic when a siteworth website is worthless.

    Amazon owns Alexa. That's common knowledge. Twisting that to somehow justify these useless websites is just laughable
