1 Man Blog Sells for $15 Million Dollars

That's amazing!

Anything to do with finance such as mortgages and insurance must be so difficult to rank for in terms of popular search terms. Get enough traffic to a finance related blog and the big banks/firms would definitely be interested, they've got the deep pockets too! Well did, they're all going into liquidation now

Wow, do you think it's true?

I agree with Pro Blogger .... very inspiring! :)

I imagine that a bankrate would have bought this to capitalise on its following and direct the following to them.

I may be wrong but surely any following that this blog would have would know that it has been bought and move on?

Was it true or just hype?

That's some sale, congratulations to Mr Wu.

Making a blog is actually not that hard to do is it? This is one fortunate dude having sold it so very expensive.

I expect it is just as easy as writing a best selling book.

Only difference is you don't have a publisher telling you that your blog is rubbish or great.

I hear financial adwords went for £50 a pop at one time, and maybe still do on some keywords.

So i would not be suprised of a blog being sold at such a price.
