BETA BlogExplosion Sale Part 2

BoycottBE has in his possession snippets of the BlogExplosion pdf package that they're sending out to buyers and what a read it is. It seems Jeff has once again managed to "exaggerate" numbers which is looking quite bad, especially since they're starting bids off at $100,000. Major rip off, especially when you look closely at the real numbers. Others seem to agree with that sentiment too.



The most interesting read, was the part that states there are NO OTHER blog community/sites online today. I guess the likes of BlogMad, BlogAdvance, BlogClicker, BlogSoldiers, BlogCrowd, BlogMosh, VirtualLoop are all a figment of our imaginations?

If memory serves me corectly, BlogClicker was recently sold on Ebay of all places for $7,500 and it had a standing member base of just under 10,000 members and it had only been online since January last year and yet here is BlogExplosion that has been around 18 months and they "claim" to have 50,000 members, but yet the buyers package states NEARLY 50,000. Just under 40,000 is near 50,000 if you're rounding up to the nearest 10,000 that is closet to half 100,000.

Also it seems the "real" truth is surfacing as to why they're selling, it's not beacuse they're builders as they claim, but it actually seems that they can't afford to run the site anymore. Jeff quoted that he had spent 10,000's out of his own pocket to build BlogExplosion and if you look at the monthly income that is in my previous post and put it againt their expenditure, that even in the buyers package isn't the "whole" truth.



they say their expenditure "averages" at $1500 a month, but they didn't count in the scripts they have been buying, the hiring of 3 new people to help code and design all the new "toys", money to Rachel who was being paid surely, how much, who knows, but she wasn't working all those hours for nothing.

It seems Jeff and his partner have ran out of money to keep BlogExplosion running as their monthly income over 18 months for their alledged 50,000 members is quite bad for a site that they claim to be on such a grand scale.

Also in the package it claimed to have 46,000 blogs in the directory, but on signing into BlogExposion, I took a screen capture of the following not more than 5 minutes ago. What happened to the almost 10,000 blogs that aren't listed that they claim to have? Are they stealth blogs that come out at special times?

What also is a telling point of the downfall of BE, is the users online. You're lucky to have 30 people online at any given time, while the new BlogMad averages 100 users online at all times of the day. Check the BlogMad homepage for those statistics, they're there in b&w. Even BlogExplosion's radio, that they have to pay the liscence for. (I guess they forgot to add that into expenditure) Has had a maximum 9 users that I have ever seen using it. Just tonight there current users is 1. Again shocking for such a large community isn't it?

If you google the sale of BlogExplosion, you will see many blogs out there talking about the sale and they all agree on one thing, BlogExplosion isn't worth what Jeff and his partner are wanting. You can fool the average mommy blogger, but you can't fool people that look at the facts and not the sunshine that comes out of Jeff's ass.
