I've been told by several people over the past few years that a standard, quick and dirty way to come up with a valuation for buying a business is to multiply last years revenue by eight. This would, unfortunately, only make your web site worth about $160k. That sounds a little low to me, but if you can convince a prospective buyer that the revenues will increase significantly over the next eight years, that number should go up significantly, also. Can you show a January 2000 number that is much larger than January 1999?
I'm not sure about the 13 year old, but I started reading Vonnegut at about that age, and I'm not too bad off. (In my forties) Some of his humor may seem a little dated, but it's very thought-provoking stuff.

One of my very favorite SF books. Combines semi-hard science with real characterizations and a riveting story line.

His Riverworld series is lots of fun, and almost... (whisper) educational.
