I was discussing with a friend about this new (or it may be old) kind of business where one makes a new blog, writes new unique content everyday/every week and sells the blog after 1 year to earn decent money.

Do you think it's a profitable business? I suppose 52 weekly entries of 500 words each would cost $250 even if you hire an article writer. Can one year old blog sell for $1000? Or the blog flippers are using duplicate rewritten content?

And the problem is that in most cases you get duplicate content. I don't find a reason of selling a blog full of unique content (consider that content is a king Wink ) before I monetize it.

Nikolas - I assume you mean 'Unique Content is King'!!!

There are many solutions to automatically populate a blog with unique content. HOWEVER, if you intend to flip it, it has to look 'OK' to a human, too, and that is a HELL of a lot harder (so markov, caffeinated content, rss scrapers etc just won't do it. You'll add nothing to the value of the blog over it's "intrinsics") - in fact, I know of only one 'solution' that will do it for you automatically... obviously!

That's right. Personally I don't like automated solutions to flip content, as this would also be bad for visitors, but I guess it is an option (especially if you don't care about copyrights Wink )

And anyway writing a link bait article is a human's job Smiley

Well I guess the age is not that a big factor, what matter most  is the content of your website.

Yes it should be profitable if you put an equal amount of importance on building backlinks for your blog.

But, Dear, some other factors like PR and traffic of your blog also play an important role on the purchaser.
