Our response: We didn't make the site to make money. It may make us some down the road, but really this was about us connecting with filipino bloggers. We created the original BlogTopSites.com, which tracks over 5 million pageviews a day. By taking over Pinoy Top Blogs we aim to promote friendly competition between pinoy bloggers. Furthermore - we are a Filipino company. You can see on our homepage all of our sites are .com.ph - we build filipino-centric websites for filipinos on the filipino domain space - it is what we do.

Yuga has been thinking about selling PTB a long time ago. Wonder why now... If this was a real estate you held on for the longest of time, then you would certainly sell it for a price that would cover what you've invested in it and a bit more. Hmmm, so let me compute... [($200 x 24) x P46.69] + 'a bit more' = value of PTB. Wow, not bad. You’re a netrepreneur right, so you can always find ways to start a bigger and better project similar to Pinoy Top Blogs.
