    Want the business plan for a blog that gets over 100k visitors a day?

    A blog I visit gets over 100,000 visitors a day ... and they've left their stats wide open so you can see their traffic numbers, who their referrers are... it's good stuff.

    Curious?

          this is mainstream too, or perhaps borderline depending how you choose to look at it

          know loads more with open stats too bringing in major numbers

          not sure I should post it here since anything helpful seems to fall on deaf ears. despite that, i'll start dropping url's in a few minutes...

                  sounds good

                  are their stats open to the public though?

                                boingboing is like a pr9 site... so I am not shocked. There are not that many PR9 sites out there to start with.

                                              It must be noted that these blogs have been around from before the whole blog hype actually started. they got immense mainstream coverage in the media when everything and their mom started freakin' out about then new wave of personal web logs that were "revolutionizing the internet". Gizmodo was around 200k uniques last year, today they push 400k+ over the weekdays.

                                                      i don't know how profitable such a site would be though. lots of bandwidth used especially with all the high res pictures and video downloads. and I imagine it's serious freeloader traffic.

                                                      and some how I doubt they have permission to use all those pictures. not sure how they get away with that...

Gizmodo was around 200k uniques last year, today they push 400k+ over the weekdays.
                                                            wwtdd.com is actually only a few months old. but it got a lot of media coverage for being the first online to host the kelly brook nude videos.

                                                            that company also has a popular existing network of sites like gorillamask.net to feed traffic from

                                                              and some how I doubt they have permission to use all those pictures. not sure how they get away with that...

                                                              Gawker Inc have serious advertising partners. Those contracts go beyond PPC traffic and banner campaigns. Sony, Toshiba, Audi, etc. They have serious ad contracts that I believe still make the network of sites quite profitable, to say the least.

                                                              The pictures fall under fair use. Hence it's no copyright violation.

You're right, freeloader traffic galore, unless of course a site can score an ad contract with a trash mag, or the like.
