Taboo must be hoping that he got started with his blog empire sooner.

Yeah seriously, another dumb move by AOL. They are just gunning to go out of bizness with a quickness.

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

funny someone whos in the business of making money off websites would say something ignorant like that.

Its a news and content source..

that was just from adsense. who knows how much of a cut google takes, and im sure theres room for improvement, but yeah i think they overpaid.

I am the ALIEN

You like using aol for internet access ?

Actually not a bad idea. We should have a GFY Blog.

Nice post :thumbsup

I love how they buy up things on impulse.

dayummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

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.

Nice sale :)

They overpaided a LOT :1orglaugh I read recently that weblogsinc.com was making about million dollars a year from Adsense

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

Congrats to them :thumbsup

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

aol can afford it

now sit back and watch them fuck up the blogs

didnt that include engadget.com aswell?

I agree, but then again big business always does this.

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.

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.

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

HAHA

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 :2 cents:

Looks like they added some things :1orglaugh

Fools and their bank just parted!

damn lots of bling bling!

Nice Tool
Thanks :thumbsup

There's NO MONEY in blogs










































:winkwink: :winkwink: :thumbsup
