      Yup, $100k sales per month, net profit $80k, ~1 million a year. Was a good deal for the buyer.

            dont understand getting rid of the network that makes a million for a half years income. Am I missing something?

              yeah, I guess their empire was in decline, time to bail out:

              they had a good run that's for sure.

                the traffic and thus revenue was falling fast from the look of the alexa stats..

                    as an employee for 3 years it's easy to understand what happened. I have been predicting this downfall for more than a year.

                      oh, and we all know that ALEXA can be iffy, but in this situation it is more than accurate - in fact might have been a bit generous.

                                lack of knowledge on how to run websites is one. Instead of working on increasing traffic and keeping the sites up to date they spent all their time trying to sell ads and working on other projects. And you can't keep selling ads/traffic if your traffic is decreasing.

                                however if a site is doing 80k profit a month it just doesn't make sense to sell it for 550k, IMO.

                                                    I always think it is odd when people sell stuff without shouting it out before hand.

                                                                not much more than that. The sites are a huge mess. Traffic has obviously dropped a ton over the last year. If they thought it was worth more than that, then they would have shopped it around. However, if the sites would have sold separately they might have made more money, but all the sites are intertwined in one massive network, which really makes it a headache to operate.

                                                                Also Marc talked with my good friend who still works for him (well, who knows now) and Marc said that they were just putting it up for auction to see what it was worth, and then an hour later, sold it.

Unless a miracle happens and you guys really take off in the next few months, like you were saying you were going to do months ago, I wonder where you guys will land.

We really want to concentrate on our www.MadisonAvenue.com project. We think it's got more long term potential and frankly we enjoy working on it more. We very soft launched it a few months ago and we're already doing over 2.5 BILLION ad impressions a month and selling over 2.5 MILLION ad clicks a month.

                                                                      We just prefer working on a world-class, free, web-based ad rotation & revenue maximization tool with optional network ad sales functionality. Well, we prefer that to posting pix of drunk frat boys passed out with magic marker drawings on their foreheads. Guess we've grown up a bit!

                                                                      So we'll still be around, we'll still be a great source of traffic but now we can help with adult and non adult traffic!

                                                                      So any Publishers who need an AMAZING ad rotation tool that's absolutely free that enables them to make more money off their traffic whether it's optimizing traffic you're sending out on an affiliate basis, selling it yourself on a CPC, CPM, time basis, or helping you sell it in our network, www.MadisonAvenue.com is your solution!

                                                                      And any Advertisers looking for a QUALITY network of traffic, where prices are set based on the PERFORMANCE of the traffic sending to affiliate programs, where you can TRULY control your ad campaign through an online control panel, where you want REAL customer service, www.MadisonAvenue.com is your solution!
                                                                      I know how it is but wow!!! Good luck with the new stuff.

Unless a miracle happens and you guys really take off in the next few months, like you were saying you were going to do months ago, I wonder where you guys will land.

I'm sorry bro but ignoring you has made my life a better place. We'll be fine. Now that I can concentrate solely on MadAv I'll be able to rapidly ramp up the number of publishers we've got.

Every minute you spend sending us stupid emails like this "he let you work for HIM as long as YOU could benefit HIM" to our staff is a waste of your time and energy.

You guys simply couldn't afford to keep paying me what you were, when you could get someone else to do it for way less. That has been proven after you had to sell your network today for a measly 550k, after telling me a year ago that steakandcheese.com was worth 3 million itself.

                                                                            Rick even emailed me and told me that the reason you guys were late with my severance checks is because you guys were having money problems.

                                                                            Shall I go on?

Of course we would have liked to make more but moving forward was more important than the final sales price. We're excited to be moving forward with only one goal / one business / one task before us.

                                                                                  I personally have been run ragged the past year trying to run one aging business and build a whole new one. Heh, only so much one man can do. So I'm in a better place now and I hope to see you in Costa to buy you a free beer!

Of course we would have liked to make more but moving forward was more important than the final sales price. We're excited to be moving forward with only one goal / one business / one task before us.

                                                                                    I personally have been run ragged the past year trying to run one aging business and build a whole new one. Heh, only so much one man can do. So I'm in a better place now and I hope to see you in Costa to buy you a free beer!

You guys simply couldn't afford to keep paying me what you were, when you could get someone else to do it for way less. That has been proven after you had to sell your network today for a measly 550k, after telling me a year ago that steakandcheese.com was worth 3 million itself.

                                                                                                    Rick even emailed me and told me that the reason you guys were late with my severance checks is because you guys were having money problems.

                                                                                                    Shall I go on?
