Salary Questions

How do I come up with a salary expectation range for a job I've never done before?

I went to workopolis and found 5 jobs that were very similar (they didn't have this specific job listed). I then got the high and low for each job. Basically I added them all up and averaged out the highs and lows to get the range. But I still don't know if it's even in the same ball park.

What should I take into consideration? I don't want to low ball myself but I also don't want to go back with a number that's too high.
