I remember when Nick Wilson started ThreadWatch. It was the edgiest SEO blog around back then. I was a guest blogger for awhile and started the Affiliate/Internet Marketing blog there - it was fun! Then he sold it to Aaron Wall (SEOBook) who has been trying to keep it going but just announced he’s shutting the site down on Friday for a variety of reasons. One of the reasons is that he has a new girlfriend taking up all his time and away from the site. Its ALWAYS the girlfriend’s fault! ;-)

Tons of comments over there range from thinking this is a joke, to accusing Aaron of linkbait and some are calling it SELLbait. If I had any spare time and bandwidth I’d buy it! I’d love to get back into the SEO community which is where I started. He’s had a couple SEO types say they would buy it.

Too much traffic to let that baby just die! I doubt it will go away, so we’ll have to see what happens.
