It has happened to me before with a blog I sold and now before I sell another blog I will make sure that the new owner will continue to write quality content, or atleast try to.

Well probably not, but there must have been a time when there was a lot of time and sweat invested, otherwise you can't put a site to that place it was in. (unless you have plenty of nude pictures of cows) The point is that wrecking a site like this is just wasting potential and that's never a good thing. You can say I do not care, but hell, if you created such a site, what would you feel after the sellout? “I don’t think Kumiko cares, otherwise he wouldn’t have sold his blog in the first place.”

Unless there was direct lying involved, CashQuests sold for only a few times monthly income. Wouls you sell a condo that was rented out for less noney than you would collect from the tennant before his deposit reutn was due? The, assuming you bought that condo, would you abandon it, leaving the doors and windows open while the rain blew through and the bugs and vermin moved in? Strange indeed. The phrase more money than brains comes to mind ... Dumb in two ways, this deal. Unless there was direct lying involved, CashQuests sold for only a few times monthly income.

Kumiko's whole blunt and amazingly honest style is what kept me reading. Without her and with some bozo writing and slapping up ads all over the site, what's left to return for? NOTHING. Spending $15,000 on Cash Quests would've been a good investment, but only if the site was maintained properly. I just hope all of my other favorite blogs don't drop down the toilet anytime soon.

One day we sell out and end up with some cash only to see our child crash and burn? You can't really blame anyone for taking the 15,000. At some point in our careers we all have to make that decision. The question is when? And what will we have to give up? If the company buying the blog doesn't want to write then they might hire you to keep writing. Which means they take over your life. You aren't working for yourself anymore. You are an EMPLOYEE. Who wants that for a blog? You might find your blog being censored by the new owner. You lose editorial ownership. When it is time to go, just take the money and run.

It would have been relatively easy to do because Cash Quests has not been authored by a solitary person for some time -- the content was written by a group of people. If the content had kept coming and those ugly ads hadn't suddenly appeared en masse, there would still be a site worth reading and advertising on. Not any more.

It depends very much upon the number of articles needed but if regular articles are needed articles the size of the one you just wrote would probably cash in between 100-150$.

I don't understand like what NSpeaks is saying. You don't blame the buyer. Ask yourself, why do you want to sell your site in the first place? Need the money? Can't manage it anymore? why every one is so concerned about cash quest? it's not john cow or john chow?
