Blogging for Dollars

August 26th, 2006 by Chris

The September issue for Business 2.0 has an article called Blogging for Dollars that is a semi-decent introduction to the web publishing industry. However they are slightly guilty of one of my pet peeves, which is referring to any independent content site as a blog. Blogs are relatively new, and content sites existed before that word was coined.

Still no buzz about forums though. I really think large popular forums will be on the buying block just as soon as big media companies become aware of what they are. Unfortunately I don’t think anyone has built up a really big network like Weblogs Inc. had.

On a completely unrelated note, power went out here this morning and armed with my laptop and nothing else to do I wrote 3 articles, one of which I published today called Mob Moderation.

    You’re entirely right on that account for forums, that they’re important content sites that will be on the buying block. I think Lee Dodd (of adminfusion) has a fair number to his name though, including the rapidly succesful Earners Forum (already 3000+ members and it’s only a few months old). You may care to speak to him if you want to invest in forums (as I discern by your above post on a site buying aggregator).
