5 month old Blog Sold for USD$10,000
written by: Patrick Wong | category: Gadgets | posted: 12/11/07How much would you sell your blog for? A Malaysian blogger, Bob Jiwakacau, sold his 5 month old but outstanding rankings blog “blog oh blog” (let’s call it Bob) for whopping USD$10,000.
Blog Oh Blog is very young (5 month old) and do not have high traffic (1000+ visitors/day), but it received good rankings such as PageRank 6, Technorati No.44, and Alexa 35,331.
How did the blog ranked so high so fast?
One of the main reasons is because the blog received many incoming links from other blogs. Bob created some popular free WordPress themes. Every blog that uses his theme will link to his blog in the theme footer. Through Bob, he got some “Private Projects” by helping clients to design their websites. ($2000 @ last month) It is not easy to have a blog in Technorati Top 50. Bob did that by offering free high quality WordPress themes. He has received the fruit of his hard work now. However, I think USD10,000 for the blog is under priced.

Patrick: wow, I didn’t know that. With those rankings I think you’re right - it could have possible sold for more. I wonder if the new owner gets the ownership rights to those Wordpress themes . . . . ?
