One website sold, another purchased

So I’ve now sold another one of my directories (itrcc.net), which was based on a fairly highly ranked domain, but was terrible in terms of being a brandable name. I bought the domain about a year ago, before I had learnt anything about Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).
However, I did earn some money from it from link sales and from the sale of the site, so it was far from a being a failure. I still have 4 web directories left in my portfolio, and my ideal situation would be to reduce that to just 2. However, .co.uk domains are a pain to sell, since you need to complete a load of documentation and pay a transfer fee to Nominet. This hassle tends to put off buyers too. That said, it does protect domain owners. I’ll probably sell the directories in 1Q2008 though.
I’ve also purchased a new domain and I’m developing a new blog PeepAtLife.com for the purpose of selling paid blog posts. It will take me about 3 weeks to get it to a standard high enough that will derive a profit.
