Its a total bargain.

I'm pretty sure this company was valuated at much more.

Plus they had hundreds of properties, guess the sold the good brands and kept the money makers.

A great deal, a boat load of cash for this economy, but a little development work will go a long way on some of these sites.

Wow, I wonder if this sale includes one of the longest running tech support forums on the internet (who was owned by Internet.com)?

I agree, this is a good deal. I think $18 mil is nothing for many companies to spend. I am pretty sure that there are companies out there spending 6 digits monthly on advertisement in IT sector. They could easily pay for this network more.
