The State of the SEOlogs
- Posted by Badi Jones on June 22nd, 2008 - Comment on this Post »
Well, it’s almost 5 months later now, (thanks for all of the supportive comments), and things are going a lot better. We got a wheelchair ramp built, help from several family members (so I don’t have to come over every day any more), and even bi-weekly visits from nurses. So the situation with my great uncle is much better now.
Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for SEOlogs. Several months of not blogging, and not updating/ fixing tools has left the site in a pretty poor state, both in terms of earnings and traffic.
Over the past year or so, SEOlogs has earned over $10,347 (see screen captures below). Over the past few months though, earnings have really taken a hit.
I’ve had several people offer to buy the site, but I hesitate because there is a so much history here. There’s been the RedScowl Bluesingsky contest. And more recently, coming in 2nd place in the myBlogLog community building contest.
This site got me interested in making money online, and several of the successful sites that I’ve created (like dnScoop.com and myIpneighbors.com) were born of this site.
I’ve actually considered either partnering with, or even just paying someone to help maintain the site, but for now, since I have some extra time, I’m going to try to get things up to par myself.
Any comments, ideas, or questions are welcome as always.

I hope you will be able to continue blogging instead of selling this site. And oh the http://www.seologs.com/dc-rank-check.html tools does not work too.

Hang in there and don’t give up. I am sure you will get back to blogging as much as you want. You have a lot to teach people so don’t quit or give up just yet.
