Alexandru is keeping ShylockBlogging

Per his recent post, the webmaster of ShylockBlogging, Alexandru, has said that he’s not selling after all:

As you may know I got a BIN bid yesterday for this blog, of $4,000. I took it, but I?ve decided today not to go through with the sale. For starters, I specified PayPal or Western Union only as methods of payment, and the buyer wanted to do it with escrow.com (my country is not accepted by escrow.com). Second, I?ve been feeling remorse at selling it since I took the bid yesterday, and since this bid didn?t go through, I?m not going to reopen the auction.

I?m keeping the blog and I?ll deal with the busy period from January when I?ll get there. My original plan of having more subscribers then ProBlogger at some point (don?t go mental on me) is still standing, and I can?t wait to write again tomorrow ;) .

I?m working on a plan to get this blog to the next level, so stay tuned.

Was it all just linkbait?

    Nahh, if it was linkbait I would’ve done it when all the hype was. Too late for linkbait. Just changed my mind. I’m too attached to the blog :) .

    It was not linkbait. Alexandru was discussing it with me over Instant Messenger. The buyer let him down and he also changed his mind.
