        Taboo must be hoping that he got started with his blog empire sooner.
        Pretty nice deal for just a blognetwork. Anyone have any idea on their traffic and member numbers?

                    If they make 1-2million per year, how would the network be worth 25 million? It sounds like aol overpaid by quite a bit....

                          that was just from adsense. who knows how much of a cut google takes, and im sure theres room for improvement, but yeah i think they overpaid.

                                            Weblogs Inc has some really rich content, AOL can turn those babies into cash cows easily. Blogs are a trusted format people, way too many surfers are no longer noobs anymore.

                                                          I agree, but then again big business always does this.

                                                              Bad move? Not at all. It was smart of them to snap up the blogs, but $25 million is excessive. Congrats to any/all who cashed out.
                                                              You deserve to make more money. I'll help you do that.
