The Big Blog Sale Is About To Be Revealed

This article was written on January 16, 2006 by CyberNet.

If you haven’t heard, Jeremy Wright is selling a blog but hasn’t revealed which blog it is. It will be revealed today at Ensight around 1PM EST but in the meantime Blogaholics has put together a list of hints that he has given:

it’s a “defining blog”
it has only one author
it’s in the top 100 blogs by all measures but Technorati
therefore, it’s in the top 100 blogs listed by Feedster
it likely isn’t a gadget blog
it’s quoted in newspapers weekly
it has won many awards
it has a PageRank of 7
it has 150,000 indexed pages on Yahoo/MSN and 60,000 on Google
it makes 2,000$/month (somewhat on the low side of average for a top 100)
it’s in need of a new design and someone who knows ads
it gets 1 million pageviews per month
the writer is somewhat intimate with Jeremy to be brokering this deal
Jeremy also drops some examples of blogs of the right type like Problogger or Scobelizer, probably dropping them out of possibilities, which Scoble confirms in comments below
and that it has the “Potential to anchor a network of blogs or sites”
and gives away in comments below that it is not Waxy.org
