(PRWEB) June 28, 2006 -- SitePoint (sitepoint.com), a fast-growing online media company and information provider targeting the web professional market, today announced yet another 6-figure transaction through its vibrant online marketplace with the sale of BlogExplosion.com.

Jeremy Wright, who managed the sale, said he was very happy with the results obtained through the SitePoint Marketplace. "I was more than happy with the quality and quantity of buyers (even at the 6-figure level). I was fielding calls, Skype conversations, PMs, emails, and posts in the thread, often simultaneously," he said.

"I'm pleased that the owners of BlogExplosion were able to generate so much interest in their site and close a deal." said Mark Harbottle, CEO and Co-founder of SitePoint.
