like the site and video coverage. hard to believe they are making 10k/day from adsense revenue's. There are that many people clicking on those ads? wow... Congrats
Dear Brilliances, He is doing great with adsense. why he will sell the site? May be it looks crappy. But have you seen the first logo of Google in 1998? You will be really amazed to see how crapy it was. Look doesn't mean anything if it has lots of visitors and the site is automatic. He hardly need any marketing for this now. Customers are marketing for his website. As well as he got a big exposure going National. So more visitors. more visitors mean more money. If you have lots of money you can upgrade ur site to a better one anytime you want. that's easy logic.
I believe he answered this question directly in the video. He doesn't care to turn it into a big corporate monster. He is having too much fun doing it on his own. I must agree. If he is making 300k+/month for let's say the last 2 years, then he is probably in a position to retire any time he likes without selling the site. Then what? Guys like him don't just retire, they need to do something. This site is his something. I say ride it out until the end... if there is an end. Congrats Marcus!
His sites been around for little over a year or two, i'd say plenty more money to be made for him before he even decides to sell up
sigh... how boring it must be to work on just one site for all your life. Guys like him are boring. Guys that ride that to the end don't know how to maximise their returns. Guys like him are one hit wonders. And finally, Guys like him should leverage his current fame and start something new. With that much publicity already, anything he starts will be an instant success. Fame doesn't last forever. Reap it for all it is worth when it shines on you

To each his (or her) own. If someone starts a brick and mortar family business, should they keep selling and changing businesses every few years just to mix things up? No, you keep growing and improving your business so you have something to pass down from generation to generation. Having one monster site to maintain is never boring. In fact, with the amount of traffic he receives, I bet he is swamped with keeping up. You get constant e-mails from users, request for new features, complaints about other users, you have companies knocking down your door to advertise, you have to manage your online community, act as the marketing manager and the finance manager and everything else manager. You are in a way learning and performing every job function of a typical company all by yourself. It is never boring...
If he sells hell have a big lump sum cash of money and will have to think hard to figure out what to do with it. Whereas while he owns the site, he gets all the money he could want or possibly have a use for while he can proudly declare to the world.. "i run the biggest single man handled website".
Why is this guy always promoting the idea of how much money he makes? What's he selling to webmasters?
Fully agreed with you. He does have a possiblity in future if he maintains the site. May be he doesn't need to sell it for money. If he runs the site he will get fame ofcourse. He has already started getting. What do you think? Fame or Money ?
