( I was surprised the name was available. I think it works perfect for this marketplace. ) It's in pre launch now, so not much traffic, but that should change soon. I made a special voucher for your readers that will allow them to setup unlimited auctions for 60 days for free ( ends August 10th 08 ). That's for just the setup fee. There aren't any commission fees by the way. Here's the voucher code: 6fbc2e501055 Regards Tim Phelan Hey Darren

Lately I've grown a bit tired of blogging. I've put in some effort over the past couple of months to get more Adsense Revenue - tweaking the layout etc. and whilst it's paid off to the point where I average about $3 a day from Adsense now (when it used to be bugger-all) and I get a bit from affilates, we're still only talking a net return of about $100 a month - not enough to give up the day job. So I thought I'd see what the thing's worth - bearing in mind it's only a blog - I have my own URL but it's a hosted domain. I have 30,000 uniques a month now and some decent backlinks (like boingboing.net and The Sydney Morning Herald) and my landing page is PR5 but some of the pages are sporting PR4 and even PR3. So I was quite pleasantly surprised when someone offered me US$1000 for it yesterday. But now I find myself torn - should I sell or not? I've had this blog for nearly two years and its only just been picked up by boingboing - which was always my benchmark for having "cracked it". /:-) Funny you should run this, Darren.

I only started to monetize with Goodle Adsense and an affiliation with a book publisher. But the traffic to my site is still quite small. I also write for ezinearticles. There my readership is building everyday, but is not translating to my Blog. I enjoy your insights. Gilles http://www.themeaningisyou.com Hi Darren:

The "about" page on Bob Caswell's blog has given me some ideas for the "about" page on a new blog I just started, "Anecdotes and Images," which is intended to be a blog where just about anyone can post public domain material related to the American Civil War. Darren,

Thnaks for the list of resources too. Actually both sets of suggestions make sense: keep it as long as it is giving you what you want (including revenue), and sell it when it makes sense to do so.

I wonder: when selling it, what are you exactly selling and what the other party is buying? A look and feel? A domain? The existing content? As a blog has a different set of usages different than a normal webpage, I don't get what the value is in it (I am not minusvalorating: I just don't understand it)... I could understand someone "buys" a blog to re-orient the content for his interest or something like that but the other approach (buying the blog) it's something I can hardly understand :-) Thanks for your blog and please, don't sell it!!!! :-) Regards from Spain :-) Guess the main asset when selling a blog is the domain…

It is the author. Every blog has a unique style of writing and content. There is no use buying a blog unless you feel you can improve on that same style or duplicate it.

If I had kept going, I might have made plenty more off of it, but I hadn't been posting regularly and the traffic was starting to fluctuate. Thought it was better to let it go to someone who could work it than to see it fail. I wrote briefly about my experience on my personal blog: http://www.thatedeguy.com/archives/2007/07/anatomy-of-a-blog-sale It ends up being more of a how-to on small time blog sales, but goes through the experience as well.
