$1,000 cash prize on offer for best "worth evaluation" model of our blog network

Why? Are you thinking of going into the Dragon's Den?

I think it's an interesting exercise in what many are calling a "bubble". I would never dream of linkbaiting!

Personally, I think that the best way to evaluate the worth of the SplashPress network is to think in terms of leverage and scale.
Leverage: Let's say that Splashpress was to use one of its properties to launch an ad network and the ad network became quite successful. This seem possible to me given properties like Performancing, Blog Herald and EatonWeb. These sites have very wide reach and could be used to leverage into a wide-adoption ad network. What's that sort of leverage worth? Well, it's hard to say because it involves potential, and potential isn't realized without proper execution. But by owning the sites that SP owns, it at least becomes a realistic possibility.
Scale: When I say scale I'm thinking "big fishnet" - Let's say that Splashpress owns 5 premier properties and 100+ tiny, hardly noticeable properties. Assume that on average, these sites are breaking even or losing money. What Splashpress has that few others have is the ability to test lots of monetization strategies out. And, as soon as one strategy is identified on one site, it can be propagated across many sites. So in terms of "information access" the network could be a springboard towards rapid identification and implementation of sustainable monetization strategies.
But scale doesn't stop there. A large network allows the owner to scale what would be small amounts on a few properties into large amounts on a hundred properties. So, once the big fishnet discovers the tiny golden fish, it has the resources multiply that tiny golden fish into a golden whale.
That is a good analysis with
That is a good analysis with some excellent thoughts. However, what we are looking for is something more precise and mathematically applicable, e.g: 3 years ROI based on revenue- but obviously that is too simplistic and thus the need for a more sophisticated breakdown and "model".

could be the easiest $1k anyone ever makes :) I'll send in my ideas soon.
