    Yeah heard this news, actually that guy started that as a hobby
    and to show his interest towards economy and banking aspects,
    and with time it became really huge, and hardwork pays for sure at last.

    Yeah. I agree.

    The buyer was a bank, which means that it's not that bad of an investment to advertise their strategies.

    I wonder how much he was making monthly on ads before they bought.....?

    Hmmm

    Wow this may have made my mind about a domain name and hosting I had sitting around and trying to figure out what to do with it. The finance niche is good if you know what you are talking about. I just have a hard time believing that with the type of traffic he was getting and the frequency of his posts that he received 15 million for this website. I guess when you are doing credit card deals that you get $200 a piece from and probably minimum 50 cents a click if you are getting decent traffic you can make some money. Steady traffic is hard to come by I hear in the finance niche.

    That's cool. I heard about the news a few weeks ago and still feel very excited when I came across this thread. Let's hope we have another success story here on DP, and I hope that it will be ME next!

    I think the bank might have hired that guy continuing blogging.
    or he might be starting a new one as well.

    Has this story been confirmed by a second news source? It seems kind of fishy to me.
