PPC.BZ Affiliate Marketing Blog Sells for $1,655

February 7, 2016 Posted by Tyler Cruz

For those of you who are regular readers of affiliate marketing blogs out there, it may be interesting for you to learn that the trolling, flaming, affiliate blog PPC.BZ was recently listed for sale at Flippa.com.

I noticed it for sale when I had Movie-Vault.com listed as well. PPC.BZ was a 7-year-old affiliate marketing blog that was popular with the type of crowd who frequents WickedFire. The blog even focused on attacking me in a few posts Smile

Anyhow, I counted only 8 blog posts made there since July 28, 2013, so I guess it was already a dead blog. It just goes to reinforce my repeated point that long-term blogging is extremely difficult. Anyone can start a a blog and offer fantastic content during the first year or 3, but as time goes on, it only gets harder.

PPC.BZ ended up selling for $1,655.00 USD.

168

Truth be told, I was considering purchasing it myself Smile I thought that it could be worth it purely for the existing backlinks and swapping out its existing affiliate links over to mine, but I ultimately decided against it because I am trying to reduce my own number of sites so that I can focus on Votesy.

The new owner does not seem to have posted anything on the site yet, so it will be interesting what he does with it (if anything, he may just swap out the affiliate links as well).

There have been many affiliate marketing and "make money online" blogs that have simply been abandoned and shut down throughout the years, but I don’t recall many that have actually been sold or put up for auction, which makes me wonder if the previous owner was desperate for cash.

I wonder how much I could get for TylerCruz.com if I sold it now. You can see the major downside to running a blog with your name in itโ€ฆ Smile

    You wouldn’t get anything for this site. It’s inextricably linked to you. It would only be worth buying for someone who wanted to destroy your reputation.

    I’m glad you were able to get the last laugh. ๐Ÿ˜€

    I agree about it being harder to find new things to write about after a year or 3. I wish I would have just done one with my name like you did instead of 5 on different niches where all the content was still about me.

    Ive done well with a fitness blog of mine but how many times can you write about a push up?

    I used to read his blog, but I was not a follower of Wicked Fire ( not my kind of hangouts ). I just thought he told things about the industry many people who do not attend those events do not get to see or hear about and I thought he was funny.
    I never took the things he said as being hateful to anyone.
    I remember one thing he said about you Tyler, but to be honest I read your blog and did not really think about it much ( probably like most )
