I think they lost interest midway, which is not a good sign at all. Even with the new sale posted, they are getting some good exposure. I think they should look at the brighter side of things and work out something rather than dropping the whole idea. Cheers!

Everyone has different motivations and goals with blogging, so I guess that means will all have different opinions on things like this. Personally, I'd rather build a long-term asset than work really hard to make a few thousand dollars. Kevin,

I have taken off all my links and return the money to TLA. That's why you don't see any links nor paid posts there.

Taking the 15 grand is a short term solution most of the time. Daniel - That's a fair point. It should be noted that a lot of the blogs which have been sold recently are blogging related or making money online blogs which started out as 'This will diary my journey as an entrepreneur' but then changed gears when they realised that making money online wasn't as easy as they first thought. 45n5 – I know.

Solid blogs where the author(s) is credible and the content is unique and valuable don't pass hands too often. Unless in emergencies, someone would not sell a blog if he know that it had a bright future. I think it depends on how the blog was built in the first place.

To encourage the sale I think you need to prove stats of traffic and income in the thread :) If thats the case then your sales thread is very misleading ie. you are including $200+ worth of income a month in your estimation which isnt there.
