Work productivity, time management, organization, tools and tips

Let's wrap up this series with a few questions.  If Business.com is making so much money for Jake Winebaum and Sky Dalton, why are they so eager to sell?  Are they simply looking to do something different?  Do they want to take the money and run before search advertising costs rise?  Or, are they absolutely brilliant entrepreneurs?

And, in reading other opinions, it got me wondering:  What, exactly, is Business.com?  There are those who consider it to be nothing more than a directory of search ads, providing nothing more than any other search engine.  This despite a claim to providing real information.  If that's all it is, then why all the hoopla?

Some say it's only an affiliate page, a yellow pages, an ad book, offering nothing to warrent it's massive cashflow, nothing more than its name.

Well, I don't have the answers to those questions or comments.  But the figures being bandied about, combined with some of the stuff I've been reading, just make me wonder.

Any answers?
