If they make 1-2million per year, how would the network be worth 25 million? It sounds like aol overpaid by quite a bit....

Weblogs Inc has some really rich content, AOL can turn those babies into cash cows easily. Blogs are a trusted format people, way too many surfers are no longer noobs anymore.

Dalai lama · 10-06-2005, 08:39 AM

Nice sale

They overpaided a LOT

I read recently that weblogsinc.com was making about million dollars a year from Adsense

http://www.ezinearticles.com/?$1-Million-in-Google-AdSense-Earnings&id=63615

So thats a bloody nice profit for those guys over at weblogsinc.com

Congrats to them

Paul · 10-06-2005, 08:50 AM

Mainsteam is definately where the money is ! Anyone know how much traffic the weblogsinc.com network was getting per day ?

~Ray · 10-06-2005, 08:53 AM

aol can afford it

QuaWee · 10-06-2005, 08:59 AM

now sit back and watch them fuck up the blogs

Chris · 10-06-2005, 09:29 AM

Yeap damn good marketing platform. You people who think this was a bad purchase crack me up. There is so much money in this group of blogs to be made it makes me sick.

EroticySteve · 10-06-2005, 09:47 AM

Bad move? Not at all. It was smart of them to snap up the blogs, but $25 million is excessive. Congrats to any/all who cashed out.

datatank · 10-11-2005, 10:18 PM

Did anyone else notice what they did with these new purchased properties today?

HAHA

Veterans Day · 10-11-2005, 10:23 PM

mainstream is where the real money is at, nickel and diming your way in adult is not the way to go. Literally a million different niche subjects that can be written about and bring home the bacon with adsense. Think people, think
