Toms Hardware sold?

[Rob Williams]

Rumor has it that Toms Hardware has been sold for $15-$20 million dollars.

Tom’s Hardware Guide and its parent company TG Publishing have been sold to an undisclosed buyer for an undisclosed price. The deal will close later this month, said Omid Rahmat, CEO of Tom’s Publishing, in a letter to the Inquirer. The rumored price, however, is $15-$20 million.

Tom’s Hardware is an established news site for tech professionals that most geeks have encountered at least once - the network of sites (including versions in different countries - a total of 12 editions worldwide) reports 50M monthly pageviews and 5M unique monthly visitors.

I can't get over that price. Personally I like smaller sites better. However it's very hard for a smaller site to do much side by side comparisions.

THG lost me years ago, after they went "too commerical" in my book. Trying to be everything. Their front page looked like a warez site with all of the ads and links to different sub-areas....

I agree with you Tech Daddy 100%. I feel/felt the same way.
