They Just Killed My $1.8 Million Startup

So, I just went to the website for my software company, the company I built from the ground up…and the website is not working.

In fact, the website has been down for over 2 months!

This is a story that needs to be told…a warning if you will of what can happen to your company after you build…and then sell it.

Oh, and I sold my business for $1.8 million. So, the fact that they are just letting this business die is insane to me.

Let me take you back and give some context and then I’ll explain exactly what is happening here…

You see, way back in 2011 I came up with a faster and easier way to do keyword research for SEO.

I created a company called Long Tail Pro.

Today, I just released a full video explaining what has happened to Long Tail Pro since I sold it.
