What Makes a Website Valuable in the AI Era?

Website valuation in the AI era goes beyond traffic and revenue. Structured data, LLM endpoints, entity authority, and federation status are now part of the asset value equation.

Website valuation used to be simple. Traffic times monetization rate plus domain authority. The AI era adds new dimensions to the equation.
