    Hey, I just did a look through their ToS and found this. So no unfortunately :(

    It sounds like it, Google doesn't want to be in the middle of monetary disputes!

    But i seriously doubt that they would or could close down a blogspot blog, over selling advertising space.

    :D

    I guess if you masked that you didn't actually sell it then Google wouldn't know the difference if you were doing it for free I guess

    Yeh good idea.

    Come up with a heading like "cool blogs i like".

    Should work well.

    There is a way, yes (not that it is allowed by the TOS, but they'll never know).
    When you create Blogger blogs use a new Google Account for each one. Just sell the account when the blog is doing sufficiently well (PR, traffic, subscribers etc.)
    There is no way of transferring ownership of a Blogger blog to a different account outright.

    Well, thats very clever if they won't be suspecting you, for selling your account... like for example a sudden change on your IP's...

    Yeh and you also can't use adsense when registering random accounts which is a major part of selling a site or not. Where you get prices from. :confused:

    selling of your blog is prohibited by google, but still you can do this. grant your buyer admin access of your blog for selling your blog.

    Right from facebook pages to squidoo lenses to blogspot blogs, you can sell everything... but it may not be legit.
