Blog for sale?
Darren Barefoot is selling his Geeky Traveller blog. I’ve heard of domains for sale, but entire blogs? From the eBay listing:
Geeky Traveller is a PageRank 6 website “dedicated to the places geeks go, the things they do when they get there, and the gadgets they play with along the way.”
…
The site has about 180 pages worth of content, and is run on Drupal 4.7. Here are some statistics on its online reach, as of March 12:
Google PageRank: 6
Incoming Links (according to Google): 1410
Technorati Rank: 91,407
Visitors in 2006: 16, 314
Current average daily visitors: 65The site belongs to the Washington Post’s new blogroll program (they invited me to join) and the Blogburst network, so it’s syndicated on newspaper sites like the San Francisco Chronicle and the Austin American Statesman.
Selling an entire identity? Perfectly normal with real world businesses, but to see it online boggles the mind.
