Default Banking blog sells for $15million - what credit crunch?

The Bankaholic blog has just been bought by BankRate for a sum in the region of $15 Million. Not sure what hope there is for humble bloggers like me, but Brian, if you ever make your millions from a blog sale, can you buy me a pint?

Johns Wu? Interesting - he runs a number of finance sites - I've bought links from him before.

Buying links? Shame on you Brian. Surely you mean you advertised with him...

Sorry, yes, advertised with him on his finance blogs and edu site.

I'm not sure on the details, but I know in the current banking environment, if a bank can find a way to bring people's deposits in, that's very valuable - wonder if that's how Bankrate are seeing it?

In the meantime, if true (there's almost a whiff of linkbait about this) then congrats to John.

After the number of deposit customers I managed to send to a certain company this week, I'd love to think I'm next in line - but, alas, the UK still lags behind the US in ambition.
