They have value correct? So why are all these comentors upset about a business that created a great system for business professionals to use. I think most of these negative comentors are upset due to the fact that their company or website will never sell for even close to 350 million. It’s like when you look at your wife and then you look at a playboy model. Yea it sucks but deal with it, that’s life. Here’s a great piece of advice from a person who is very successful beyond the web; try using the same energy that you use to write your meaningless comments and put that into your business. You are wage earners in the eyes of me and anyone else reading these absurd comments. Remember, your opinion means nothing. I can tell by the way you write that you still don’t get it. You need to know all the facts before you comment and look like jealous underlings. Business.com is a business not a website. They bought a business that is profitable. Do the math Skippy and realize if they just hold the company as a long term investment I guarantee it will turn them a considerable profit. The one who is laughing is R.H. Donnelley. Great buy!!!</p> Business.com sold for 350 million, correct? They have value correct?

Impressive as that sounds, it wasn’t such a great pay day after all given that $85 million or so was sunk into it.

Has any serious business person ever used business.com? I think I know the answer.

They deserve credit for creating a site that looks semi-real. When you peel away the onion you quickly realize there’s not much there.
