A blogging platform developed by two individuals faced significant challenges despite early success. Initially reaching 30 million monthly page views and generating $2,000 from ads, the platform was ranked as the second most popular blogging service in Turkey. Following a redesign, traffic briefly declined by 60% but later recovered, pushing the platform into the top 5000 websites globally, as per Alexa rankings. In March 2009, the site was blocked in Turkey due to copyright infringement by blogs hosting unauthorized live sports streams. Despite legal attempts, they lacked the resources to lift the restriction and struggled financially to counteract the blockage, similar to other major platforms that faced bans in Turkey.
Efforts to expand into Russia, Germany, and Spain were unsuccessful, lacking local support to grow the user base. Further setbacks occurred in August 2010 when Google's AdSense banned the platform over adult content concerns, despite attempts to comply with policies. Future possibilities for the platform include developing paid services like custom domains, premium templates, and offering it to increase traffic for various web portals. The team seeks to sell the platform due to financial constraints and a desire to start projects requiring fewer resources.
The sale includes domain ownership, the complete website script and database, and server access for transitioning. The platform's revenue from AdSense was close to $10,000 in 2010, with server costs reaching $4,500. Traffic peaked at 30 million page views in early 2009 but significantly decreased by April 2011.
