    Are you allowed to sell your blogger?

    Think they are worth any money?

    I have not seen anyone trying to sell them :confused:

    Not allowed, but it's possible to do so.
    It's not allowed to smoke weed but a lot of people do.

    It's against tos to sell your google blog, if they catch you (and they will if you're not careful) they'll ban your account, meaning deleting your blog. That's not going selfhosted for ya.

    Its against the TOS but it is possible to sell it and I don't think they will get to know about this as there are loads of accounts. Again, its against the TOS !!

    How do you transfer it to another Google/Blogger account? I can't find anything about transferring acounts on the Blogger site. I know selling an account is against the Blogger TOS but how can Google/Blogger really enforce those terms?

    It's possible but not allowed, so, I would advise not doing it.

    Are they worth anything if you have good blog names?

    I use to use blogger a long time ago and registered 50+ good keyword blog names.

    I will never sell them though.

    Well, blogger is free so why would anyone try buying one? As to the question, yes its illegal in TOS but there is this saying: "If a locker slams in an empty walkway, does it still make a sound?" Meaning, if no one catches you, you are good to go.

    You cannot sell your account, but that doesn't mean you cannot sell your content, right? Here is what I would do(not that I plan to sell my account, I mean, if you take a look at it, its totally useless)

    1. Copy your content from blogger account.
    2. Delete your blog.
    3. Ask the buyer to create an account with the same name that you just deleted.
    4. Give the buyer your content,
    5. Bam the account belongs to the buyer, you didn't break TOS, you just deleted your account.

    Although you can sell your Google Blog, I would imagine you not getting very much money as the nasty ".blogspot.com".
