[...] Whilst some people like to mislead gullible trusting blog readers about so-called newsworthy events, I fair readers will never do such a despicable thing. I will, however, totally abuse my position as editor of Six and Out to not only blow my own trumpet but also to assure you that I at least know a smidge about cricket – as I actually play on a regular basis.

[...] Heute bin ich über den Artikel von “Problogger.net” gestolpert. Eine der wichtigsten Seiten zum Thema Bloggen. Dort berichtete der “Problogger” Darren Rowse darüber, wie man richtig bloggt (also Artikel im Internet veröffentlicht mit einer Software wie dieser hier). “Pro” zeugt auch davon, dass es in den USA und in seinem Fall Australien möglich ist, mit so etwas seinen Lebensunterhalt zu verdienen.

[...] Geschickt bin ich der Frage nach meiner Käuflichkeit ausgewichen und habe das Thema gewechselt. Nach ein paar Minuten war dann das Gespräch beendet. War eigentlich ganz nett, sowohl das Gespräch als auch der Gesprächspartner. Nur hatte der anscheinend nicht mal von meinem Blog hier gehört. Welch eine Ernüchterung. Meine Seite habe ich natürlich nicht verkauft. Ich bin doch nicht der ProBlogger. [...]

Nice idea, but quite old, you should write another number, about $25,000 000 – looks better.

Hey Darren,

I ran a fake ad on my blog the other day. I thought it may have applications for work at home types that use the internet.

If you want a laugh, look what I picked up on my T-rati linked to me…

Think it’s worth $5M???

Pretty funny — although I’ve seen some crazy web-business deals before, so it’s not *completely* unreasonable. Maybe it will give somebody with deep pockets an idea. ;-)

Kevin – didn’t know it would be in today but I did know it was coming (did the interview a few weeks back). No connection between them.

Strangely enough though you are in today’s green guide.

How long ago was the interview for that done, and did you know it would be published today?

Too Funny! I love it!

I must admit, had I read this earlier in the day before your updatesI probably would have bought into it too. My first thought was, Dang! I’ve only recently found your site and haven’t finished reading everything yet!

I now see your point on how readers scan…great lesson!

گزیر » فروش یک وبلاگ به مبلغ ۵ میلیون دلار — Wed, 10 May 2006 14:30:44 +0000

[...] جالب به نظر می‌رسد: یک وبلاگ به مبلغ ۵ میلیون دلار! اما کمی تأمل کنید، نگاهی به نوشته خود این وبلاگنویس در همین رابطه بیندازید. اگر کمی دقت کنید متوجه می‌شوید که بریده روزنامه مذکور جعلی است و با استفاده از یک ابزار آنلاین ساخته شده! اما نکته جالب آن است که این وبلاگنویس از ابتدای امر این مسأله را به صورت واضح و با ارائه منبع خبر (که همان ابزار آنلاین است) مشخص کرده بود. اما بررسی نظرات آن نوشته و تماسهای دیگران با او (دو تماس از سوی خبرنگاران، دو پیشنهاد مشارکت و ۱۵ ایمیل تبریک به گفته خود او) نشان می‌دهد که در این نمونه و احتملاً سایر نمونه‌های مشابه درصد زیادی از افراد به آسانی به وبلاگها و نوشته‌های آنها اعتماد می‌کنند، همچنین تعداد کمی از خوانندگان وبلاگها به منبعهای ارائه شده توجه می‌کنند.
