Weblo.com is a virtual real estate site that has business analysts and web-surfers alike scratching their heads. Want to own the empire state building? How about your hometown, what about Los Angeles, would you like to own latin pop sensation Ricky Martin? You canâ€"virtually. If you were always the player with the boardwalk properties in Monopoly, you´ll probably have no trouble mastering and flipping a profit on this site. While there is some built-in value to the property pages themselves, acting as guidebooks or photo sites to the actual properties and locations they correspond to; Weblo´s real fiscal value lies not on the content in the page but the actual domain itself. The idea is to buy a small property and then build your own “empire.” You´ll collect the revenue generated by the ad campaigns and then pay a fraction in taxes to property owner on the next level (city, state, country) For instance, let´s say you wanted to buy the Sears tower. You´ll have to pay taxes to the city of Chicago, who will then in turn have to pay taxes to the site owner of Illinois. The trick is not just to buy a property at a low price and flip it, but to build an empire so that you can work your way out of paying taxes. As an added sign-up bonus, you will also get a celebrity page, which features your favorite famous person with built in ad campaigns that will help you to generate more revenue.

You cannot really pinpoint the worth of the pages, and what could happen if the page abruptly becomes of no value? Might they also include graphs, charts, and performance trackers, a kind of virtual economy DOW?
