What's My Site Worth?
I started a blog about 1 week ago and I worked hard on it. I know it may seem too early to ask, but what is my site worth:
http://www.dacenter101.com
I've had over 136 unique visitors in the last 1 week. Not to mention 1,330 hits. This comes with just commenting other blogs and directory submissions. The site is setup with affiliate marketing banners and text links through out prime spots of the page, but not TOO much to clutter it.
I also have 7 readers subscribed to the FeedBurner that I have on my page, all 7 came in 1 day.
Basically, my site is growing at a rapid rate and I was just wondering, how much do you think my site would go for if I were to sell it? Just asking?

a bad domain name, free theme, and the amount of visits from any start up site, i wouldnt say its worth much to be honest.
i'm not saying it can't be worth something just at the moment not something worth buying in my opinion, its a bit early.

Bad domain... yes, its what I had and right now (even though it sounds lame) I can't afford another one so it'll due for now.
Free theme, yes, because like I told one person, it wouldn't make sense in developing a theme and then the blog fails. Once it starts growing, I'll build a custom theme.
I will say that I would like to change the name of the site later down the line hopefully, the name really isn't all that appealing. Although technically it'll put me back to square 1 when it comes time to having to advertise and re-gain that traffic back (the one's that'll be going to the DaCenter101.com domain.)

Sometimes a little investment early on will pay off in the long run. For instance a custom theme to actually attract visitors and get them coming back. When I visit it now I am tempted to leave right away because I have seen that theme over and over.

You are ignoring the fact that google has a very established brand and reputation. It is very hard to establish anything as far as recognition goes with a free blog design, although it can be done.
In my opinion your site is worth about $15 right now, if that.

There's actually a site where it tells you how much your site is worth. I forgot what it's called, though. But your site looks pretty good to me.

$50.... Much more if you attempted to add some sell quality* to it.
* Custom design, logo, ads, script, etc.

What Bennet and Oliver suggested I guess you could call good... only problem... I don't have readers yet to get feedback! I have 8 subscribed to my FeedBurner, but that's not enough to get a suggestion on what kind of feedback I can get.
So Oliver, for now, the site has good content. I am confident enough that the entries I type can help a major portion of those who read it.
As for Bennet's suggestion to a custom design, logo, etc. I want to, but right now just isn't that "perfect timing" moment. We'll wait about a month from now and see. It still is new, yes, so I was looking for a "rough estimate."
