Jim Boykin (Internet Marketing Ninjas) Buys WebmasterWorld Forum
WebmasterWorld and Pubcon founder Brett Tabke has sold WebmsaterWorld to Jim Boykin, who runs Internet Marketing Ninjas. The announcement was made today at PubCon, which Tabke will continue to run.
Internet Marketing Ninjas, led by company founder Jim Boykin, is the ideal match for WebmasterWorld, said Tabke. I couldnt have asked for a better situation than a long-time member acquiring WebmasterWorld.
WebmasterWorld is just the latest in a series of forums Boykin has acquired. Other recent pick-ups include Cre8asiteforums, and the Developer Shed Network.
2012 has been a major year for IMN and I feel privileged to be a part of WebmasterWorld, says Boykin. Ive been a member of WMW for over 10 years, and Ive learned so much from so many there. I have so much respect for the community members and it gives me the uttermost pride to be able to work with the community to move WMW into the future. I am very humbled and ready to listen to, and work with, this amazing community.
WebmasterWorld Director of Operations, Neil Marshall, offered the following statement: Im delighted to be involved with Jim and his team at Internet Marketing Ninjas. This is an exciting new era for WebmasterWorld and Im really looking forward to continuing to develop the site for the benefit of its members, and retaining the sites world-renowned, quality discussion forum for webmasters and their businesses. Thank you to Brett Tabke, for giving webmasters an independent vehicle to meet and to discuss current hot topics, turning the site into a major brand for webmasters. Im sure the whole team is ready to keep that going forward and to develop new ideas for todays Internet marketing businesses.
WebmasterWorld is a place where there is a great deal of discussion from webmasters dealing with Google various algorithm updates. Such discussions often give clues to new major algorithm changes that Google makes before they are officially announced (although there is often a lot of talk that leads to false alarms).
It will be interesting to see how the forum evolves under new ownership. From the sound of it, the community itself wont be changing much.
Tabke says he intends to invest his future efforts into the PubCon conferences.
