Many of you are familiar with Associated Content which is a media site driven by freelance written content. Freelancers can either submit their content, images, audio, slideshows, or video at no cost and get paid for page views, or take on paid assignments.
Here’s the newsflash from Associated Content‘s homepage: “…We’ve signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by Yahoo!…Yahoo! plans to leverage our content to extend its leadership and build upon their global properties to deliver personally relevant content in a scalable and efficient manner.”
Founded in 2005, Associated Content states they have over 2 million pieces of content, over 300,000 freelance writers, and more than 30 million visitors per month. Not too bad, eh. According to MarketWatch, Yahoo! parted with just over $100 million.
