Brandon: Visibility, influence, traffic, google juice, etc.The deal was that I was going to continue writing, so they would have had all the ad dllars and such.

Don’t worry though, that deal fell through. The one for WealthyBlogger went ahead just fine though

Selling your personal weblog…

Perhaps, you were going to continue to write on this site and be compensated by the buyer? Otherwise what would they have to gain from it, other than a potential link farm?

No attack, just curious. Saying you sold something that you never sold is the part I have beef with. Reporters are lazy and you know the truth, so I wouldn’t go by their reports.

Anywho, congrats on the (real) sale.

Jon: The domain wasn’t transferred, because things went south and I refused to give away that last piece of control until the terms of the contract were actually met. That didn’t happen. So the domain didn’t get transfered. It’s a good thing text is an emotionless medium, otherwise I’d think you were attacking me in some way. In terms fo the site description, it’s there because that’s what the media claimed. I’ll ammend it if anyone has a problem with it though.

Aaron: Garrhhh… @!#$#@$@!@$!$!@$…. You can just PayPal me the amount with your address info and that’s the same thing. PayPal address: jeremy@ensight.org.

I’m not seeing that the domain was ever transfered so I think it’s dishonest to say, “Made popular by being the first blog sold.” Besides not actually selling, it wouldn’t have been the first.

But congrats on the sale of your other site. Hopefully it goes through this time.

It’s a really, really long story that I’ll tell you sometime we’re talking. It’s boring. Long. Boring… But it’s basically over, so yeah

How did it fall through Jeremy? I guess I’m wondering what would cause you to have to compensate the buyer with links…?

I don’t know about money. My blog is a public service sort of thing with no ads and a way to get more links to my business site. And since it doesn’t make me any money directly, it’s not easy to make time for daily entries.
