Which brings the hard decisions about flipping sites, if you monetize them so they are bringing in good money, do you really want to then on sell them? A good site is simply better than money in the bank! (I think anyway ) Interesting article George, its very hard to work out an accurate price on what a site is worth, I guess at the end of the day if you can make more money from it over a couple of years than what you could sell it for I think it is worth hanging on to.

Do you still comment on it and make posts after the sale is complete. I don't think I could sell my blog. It has become a part of me and well I guess might if the numbers were good. After all I am here to try and make some money as well. And you could always start another one fast enough just based on the emails you have saved from peoples comments to let them know your somewhere else.

It is really only worth buying blogs where the content is not 100% reliant on the personality and characteristics of the owner. How long would the Shoemoney blog last if Schoemaker actually left?

I can see in this type of blog, that it would be worthwhile. With mine, it's really about my little guy and our designs (it's on the same site as the business and showcases new designs), so it wouldn't be to our advantage to sell it unless we sold the business, and even still I wouldn't sell the personal parts. Guess I need to start another blog in order to consider that ;). I'm keeping it forever, at least that's my plan for now ;).

Blogs tend to have very search engine friendly content and lots of natural links. You might lose the community when you lose the person behind the blog, but you keep the Search Engine traffic.

I would add more choices to that poll, as there are many sites that would be sold in the $100-$250 range all the way up to $1MM+. The Huffington Post just got a multi-million dollar round of VC - so that just goes to show that the investors planned on making that back tenfold at some point down the road. Of course, not every blog is in the same universe as the Huffington Post, but I think a lot of us are trying to get there. :) Well done!
