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.
doesn't surprise me. the network of mudslinging celebrity blogs is enormous, I trade traffic with a few, like socialitelife or pinkisthenewblog. Enormous, as well... for an amateur's site anyway.
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...

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

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.

Oh shoot, now I see you refered to the celeb sites... I am wondering the same. some of the sites don't have ads at all, maybe some Amazon ads for CDs or shit like that. I don't see Adsense working on those sites at all. You're right, freeloader traffic galore, unless of course a site can score an ad contract with a trash mag, or the like.

they use blogads - what's that, $700 a month? big whoop
I think they use AFF sometimes. but all their ads are over on the right and may be missed by most people. maybe they should have the ads more in your face
unless I'm missing something I can't see the site being that profitable. but again, maybe I'm missing something
