Jeremy Wright is brokering the sale of a "big" blog, with an anticipated start bid of $40k, but he won’t say which blog. So, let’s play "Guess that blog"
Here are the hints:
- it’s a "defining blog"
- it has only one author
- it’s in the top 100 blogs by all measures but Technorati
- therefore, it’s in the top 100 blogs listed by Feedster
- it likely isn’t a gadget blog
- it’s quoted in newspapers weekly
- it has won many awards
- it has a PageRank of 7
- it has 150,000 indexed pages on Yahoo/MSN and 60,000 on Google
- it makes 2,000$/month (somewhat on the low side of average for a top 100)
- it’s in need of a new design and someone who knows ads
- it gets 1 million pageviews per month
- the writer is somewhat intimate with Jeremy to be brokering this deal
- Jeremy also drops some examples of blogs of the right type like Problogger or Scobelizer, probably dropping them out of possibilities, which Scoble confirms in comments below
- and that it has the “Potential to anchor a network of blogs or sites”
- and gives away in comments below that it is not Waxy.org
Now, that’s a lot of hints. Thanks Jeremy! Anyone want to place a guess? I have a couple guesses I’d wager on, but I don’t want to bias the projections of others.
Update: Jeremy is offering up a prize for the right guess on this one. If you are the first to get it right, he’ll give you $100 (USD) or $500 in advertising and a free copy of his book, Blog Marketing. So, now we have a contest to get this going. Post your guesses and see if you can win! It’s a sweet deal!
Update:The contest is now closed, and the winner is John Evans for guessing the Blog Herald! Congrats to Duncan and to John as well. Read more here.

My best and onyl guess would be BlogHerald. Everybody else is blogging about it except him. It must be Duncan.
I agree with John Evans, it’s BlogHerald. It’s somewhat duplicative/competitive with ProBlogger, and I imagine Duncan has other things that need his attention.
Its already been said, but I’ll add it anyway. I also think it is The Blog Herald.
This is the second time I’ve read someone suggesting its Jalopnik. Why? First of all, its owned by Gawker Media, and second, I highly doubt it would be for sale anytime soon, considering its one of their more popular blogs along with Gawker, Wonkette and Gizmodo.
Micro Persuasion?
We Make Money Not Art? Or is that not quoted enough in the mainstream press?
I’m glad that Duncan Riley now has some extra change to pay for his mortgage
“Search Engine Journal?”
No sir, not for only $72K :) LOL
All hail DuncAN!
