If you haven’t heard, Jeremy Wright is selling a blog but hasn’t revealed which blog it is. It will be revealed today at Ensight around 1PM EST but in the meantime Blogaholics has put together a list of hints that he has given:
- it’s a “defining blog”
- it has only one author
- it’s in the top 100 blogs by all measures but Technorati
- therefore, it’s in the top 100 blogs listed by Feedster
- it likely isn’t a gadget blog
- it’s quoted in newspapers weekly
- it has won many awards
- it has a PageRank of 7
- it has 150,000 indexed pages on Yahoo/MSN and 60,000 on Google
- it makes 2,000$/month (somewhat on the low side of average for a top 100)
- it’s in need of a new design and someone who knows ads
- it gets 1 million pageviews per month
- the writer is somewhat intimate with Jeremy to be brokering this deal
- Jeremy also drops some examples of blogs of the right type like Problogger or Scobelizer, probably dropping them out of possibilities, which Scoble confirms in comments below
- and that it has the “Potential to anchor a network of blogs or sites”
- and gives away in comments below that it is not Waxy.org

UPDATE: The blog being sold was announced: The Blog Herald.
So what blog was it?
It ended up being Blog Herald. The $70,000 transaction ended up not happening so the site is being auctioned.
