So You Want To Be A Millionaire

What would you do if someone dropped $15 million into your lap – all to buy a blog you’ve been running as a solopreneur?

Not a bad job if you can get it.

According to Paid Content, that’s what happened to John Wu, solo owner and blogger for Bankaholic.com Bankaholic provides a wealth of information on deposits, savings accounts, money markets, bank rates – really anything that has to do with the financial world. With the immediate crisis in the banking and loan world, it’s nice to think that BankRate, the company acquiring Bankaholic, can actually afford to spend the $15 million on a blog site.

What makes a site like Bankaholic so valuable? Ultimately it comes down to traffic. With an Alexa ranking of 41,904, and a Pagerank of 5/10, plus high ranking keywords, it’s great at dr iving traffic to the site. For instance, under the keyword "money market rates" Bankaholic comes up number 2. Not bad.

So what can you do to start growing your own blog? What niche can you go after? What keywords can you rank high on?

It could be well worth your time.
