Blogs that are wholly dependant on social media/RSS traffic are pretty pointless to buy even if you believe you can emulate the previous owner's writing style (which you definitely cannot). Great post. I completely agree.

It also speaks highly to the idea that if you have to sit at your computer and crank out mad content for 14 hours a day, is that really the lifestyle and "job" that you envisioned when you started out as a web entrepreneur? The goal is to create a defensible set of web properties that is fairly impervious to the winds of change over at Google, and that get their steady traffic from multiple sources. Also, as you pointed out, having a personality tied too closely to the content can be a major problem, especially when it comes time to automate or sell.

If you bought a popular blog and converted most of the readership quickly many will continue to visit. I believe that neither factor should be more important. I have seen many businesses go under because Google changed a search algorithm and they suddenly dropped in search ranking losing 90% of their traffic. You should be building both search engine traffic and loyal return traffic at the same time. That loyal readership won't vanish if you're search ranking suddenly changes and you have to rework your SEO. Granted if you were just flipping a blog around after a short time neither one would be very important.

Funny thing is that Marc who bought the site for the $10,000 seems to be really happy. Oh well, it is his life and I do wish him success and the best of luck. As for Brian, well, he is probably in the shame house somewhere. @ George: a few millions sounds cool. Gee, once we get blogs to that level even more people will want to become bloggers. @ Trent: I'm with you on that batman. I can't stand it when people get ripped off but even sadder is the fact that they are too dumb to notice. @ Bruce: agreed.

Or if they do read it they won't listen to me and will waste their money anyway. And I don't know what happened to the One Mans Goal seller. I certainly haven't heard anything. @George - LOL, yep that is exactly what I meant! @Bruce – You’re right, the next person who gets ripped off will probably never read this post.

And whatever happened to the seller of One Man's Goal you refer to here? I think he is hiding.

I just hate to see newbies get taken for $10,000 or more on a blog that isn't going to make them any money. If you are building and flipping blogs for a few hundred up to maybe even a thousand dollars and people are buying them to save time and get a head start on things, I see nothing wrong with that. But when someone pays a ton of money for a blog because they have been lead to believe it's the next Problogger, it just makes me sick! Thanks Monika!

It is good to see this as it will maybe prevent a sale that otherwise would have gone ahead and somebody lost money. Information is great, especially if it is the right kind. :-) Nice post Trent and spot on right on target.
