Need Advice, Keep, Sell, Park?

    I have had the domain name internetmarketingreview.org for two years. I have five blogs, one is a PR2, that are all 2 years old. I have been doing paid posting for those two years but now I am ready to move on to other things. I want to be a wheeler, dealer, that's what gets me excited.

    But anyway, can you give me some advice about what would be the best business move? Should I park the domain? Or sell it? Seems an internet marketer would be interested in it, or am I wrong about that? How much would I sell it for? I feel like I could sell the blogs, which have tons of unique content, lots of backlinks, steady traffic.

    The entertainment blog had 3000 pageviews last month, Freelancing Journey has links all over the writing community to it as a resource for writers. Each of those blogs make steady Adsense income daily, but not more than about 25 cents a day each. They are all five niche blogs, and I have two other niche blogs on the same domain that are a year old.

    The whole kit and kaboodle has become an albatross around my neck. It is too tempting to return to paid to post services even though I don't want to do it anymore. If I don't have the blogs, I can't do paid posting, right?

    Any helpful advice would greatly be appreciated.

    That's kind of what I was thinking, Chantown. I could sell the blogs and the buyer get a new domain, sell all the content, templates, the whole inventory and just keep the domain, park it for a while and see what happens.

    I wonder how much I should ask for the blogs? I was thinking between 75 and 100 each. What do you think?

    I would recommend you to park the domain to gain $$ in long term

    I wouldn't sell it, I'd just stick a static webpage without changing the content around that marketers a few internet marketing products rather than simply putting it up on a parking service.

    Thank you.

    I wonder why I didn't think of that? :eek:

    Maybe because I am SO not techie and the template that came with the Yahoo hosting was all I could understand how to do. :eek:
