Yes, all the traffic building has to start from scratch also but it is so easy to create exactly what you want from the ground up. I do recommend getting some content and design work outsourced as the professional feel goes a long way in building up that traffic quickly. I actually sell a blog flipping product that teaches anyone how easy it is to build (and flip) blogs. The sad part is they could pay $19.99 for my ebook to learn how easy it is or go off to SitePoint and buy a brand new blog for $149 that a pro put together in a few hours.

Have you ever heard of buying out your competition? Well, business' do it every single day. If you are really trying to make something via the internet. You are going to have to take real life business tactics and strategies to the web. One of which IS buying out your competitors!!! If you have to buy a blog because you can't design, originate, code, and write the articles yourself, DONT BUY IT! Because THAT is when it will fail. When you have no knowledge of what you are doing.

I am sure that he sold you the blog, not his marketing tactics. One thing that many people who write articles lack, the actual knowledge of business. AJ wrote articles that were a little more original, while I am not saying that your articles are horrible, they just lack the originality of someone who is learning, experiencing, and feeling the emotion of his own article. You can't be a teacher with no passion. You are seeing a significant traffic drop because AJ cultivated not only the articles, but his marketing tactics.

I haven't seen one blog turnover, which would encourage me to buy a one of any sort. It’s maybe just me, but unless it was a very good deal, I’d never buy a blog.

The drop hasn't been enough that we wish we hadn't bought the site, but it has been noticeable. I have only worked for Splashpress for a month now, and one of the things that both Thord and I are working on are ways to combat this slump. We are very happy and lucky that aj has stayed on to do some posting. In fact, we wish he was around more, as we really enjoy his style. Our plans focus on finding more contributors for this site with specialties in every major niche that this site covers as well as kicking myself in the butt to write some longer, more in depth posts for the audience that this site has. I never realized how die-hard some of you all, so I am excited about trying that. It will definitely be great to see the site continue to evolve and change. And for those of you still reading, thank you! :) Splashpress Media has noticed a drop in pretty much every blog it has purchased.
