Here’s something that caught my eye today. The popular blog about Donald Trump’s search for proteges, TheApprenticeBlog.com has been sold for merely $1,636.00. Granted that with each season’s passing, The Apprentice is getting less and less news-worthy. The proof is in the pudding with the last season languishing in the ratings.
However, in the hands of an expert SEO, a domain with as much content, community following, and proven revenue should be fetching more than $2000, don’t you think? The blogs generate more than 5000 page views per day and is also a respectable PageRank 5 with nice rankings in Alexa. Or do you think it was fairly priced, or bought too high? Love to hear your thoughts! You can see the eBay listing for the completed sale here.

Here’s an interesting story. Chris from the Get Rich Project Blog is a relatively newcomer who’s looking to earn some income from online ventures. He shares with us on Yaro’s BlogTrafficSchool forums about how he spent $38, and with 6-8 hours of work, created a fully functional online store.
Here’s the catch, he’s already made the money back within 2 days! The project started on June 10th and his update on June 12th shows that Chris is a nice guy, as he promises to donate all store revenue for the duration of the world cup to charity. It may not be big money, but surely inspires aspiring online entreprenurs just what is possible within a day!

FeedBurner didn’t make use of their Alexa ranking of 666 all day today — of all the days when everybody is talking about the mark of the beast! Didn’t they know that there’s no such thing as bad PR? Otherwise, link-baiting would not exist! They should really learn from The Omen. Sigh… .oh well, it’s all over now!

Just noticed today that FeedBurner’s site is ranked at #666 in Alexa rankings. (Click on the picture for a bigger screenshot of the proof!) Coincidence? Or perhaps an Alexa prank?
If this is indeed a prank, it brings further question as to how reliable is Alexa’s ranking, especially for purposes such as the Text Link Ads Calculator?
