PaidContent reported: Financial info site BankRate is expanding its financial product listings, as it’s acquiring Bankaholic, which provides info on deposits, savings accounts, and money market accounts. The company will pay $12.4 million up front….

with another $2.5 million possible earnout over the next 12 months. Bankaholic’s sole employee John Wu will assist in the transition and remain for an unspecified period of time.

The question I would like to ask,”Would you switch your blog to Wordpress if you knew a wordpress blog can fetch a higher amount when you sell it later?”

I don’t think I would sell mine any sooner. It’s true Google loves Wordpress as it’s easier for Google Search-bots to crawl and index self-hosted Wordpress.

The irony is, Yahoo seems to be doing “more”, indexing a few times more web pages than what Google is currently doing. This is apparent in the number of cached pages when you type in site:yoursiteaddress.com in Google and Yahoo.

The art of website or domain sales is known as “Site Flipping” – it gives me an image of pancake or roti prata (Indian pancake) being flipped on a hot surface!
