I was just curious as to the motivations etc of the non-compete. I think it makes sense to have a deal like that especially for someone like Larry who has quite a following.

Seriously, as long as you proceed with the purchase of the blog without the previous blogger advertiser his new website, you should be fine. How would he contact regular readers after the sale? @DGI I don't complaint, I just say that it is harder to keep growing right away. Actually, January has been my greatest month in term of traffic so far. So things are getting back to normal with a steady growth. I agree with you in regards to traffic. Most traffic bursts are suspicious. I rather buy a stead traffic! @FP

You have already recovered at least 25% of your purchase price ;-) Even if your traffic is flat, you are still earnings $$$. Btw when you get a blog to a certain level of readership, it is very tough to increase quality traffic in a sustainable way. Maybe that's why people sell blogs.. The ones that I have always found out for potential acquisitions have always looked phishy with little traffic initially and then huge traffic 6-7 months later. I would much rather buy a blog with flat page views, than one that has experienced a huge growth - this "growth" might be nothing more than "bought traffic". Of course I don't buy blogs...

Obviously you don't want the main writer of a blog you purchase to go and start a similar blog the next day. What if he/she started or bought a site and just used paid writers and didn't use their own name? I'm thinking that sort activity isn't really competing. I’m curious about the non-compete details.
