In a world where so many people are trying to cut corners, game the system, avoid doing the actual work, it just shows what doing a site properly can bring. A ton of work, yes, but it reaps rewards.
This is great! I like that he has no fluff. I've been wanting to do a similar blog on a different topic. People are always saying add images. This has given me the motivation to move forward. I've been following your website for a while. I love it. It has helped me greatly. Thanks for the video!
LOVE this type of content. For this site, the key here is the age and passion of his work because I'm sure he wasn't getting paid a ton early on but now he can easily retire if he wanted. Yes, I'd like to see even more site evals in the future. Thanks!
Very nice video, thank you very much! I think I'm getting tired of trying to set up a website. I have close to 300 articles with almost no visitors. But your video gave me a lot of motivation to continue, thank you very much!❤
The fact that this site thrives without relying on Google SEO is mind-blowing! Who else is thinking about ditching the SEO grind and focusing on building direct traffic? 🤯
Right, definitely less busy in non-election years. But he said it was getting as much as 8 to 10 million visitors during this election year, so I'm not sure if 3 to 4 million is what he gets per month during a "normal" year or not.
You can listen to the owner's entire interview here: th-cam.com/video/ybW28If8W78/w-d-xo.html. His site has been around for 25 years. Sometimes it gets mentioned in larger media, the drudge report, and lots of other word of mouth.
He's just consistent, with or without SEO; 50 content per day bound to have you to be found on Google. but that requires high Domain Authority so your website dont get blacklisted.

How much direct traffic does your site get?
85% of the traffic is direct traffic. Do that math from total visits of about 4.7 million.

Exactly
Great example of building a real branded content site. Hard to do but damn good for him! Life changing cash.
Absolutely!

Good one!
cool, cheers from Portugal
It's one of the weirdest for sure.. but I would not sell it. That's a goldmine
Yep, definitely a goldmine!
So much work involved in it. May requires 12h work daily.
He has writers and editors. But there's massive work involved to produce about 50 articles a day. That's about 15,000 words daily.
Definitely lots of work, he does have help though.
Very good video, please make more like this with specific examples.
Awesome, glad you enjoy this type of video!
I've seen that podcast ;)
Yep, its a good one!
how can i make this type of website, make a video about it
I think I just did.
Hello
I stop worrying about Google after 2020
How can I get millions traffic on my site
Bro , Is blogging still a career in 2025 ?
I'd love to see if someone can find this model working in a different niche. I have my doubts...
Really? I think this works in tons of niches...and there's lots of examples. Sports, weather, stocks, business, and even SEO news.
@@niche-pursuitsPls share example of article titles for the business niches
I expect it is 1/4th as busy non election years, so really more a 250k a year (still not bad) blog.
Right, definitely less busy in non-election years. But he said it was getting as much as 8 to 10 million visitors during this election year, so I'm not sure if 3 to 4 million is what he gets per month during a "normal" year or not.
Sounds like a lot of effort, you have to update content daily and keep working on it, not a website type I would prefer
Definitely a lot of effort.
With that amount of traffic and numbers, you can hire a lot of people and hardly do anything yourself
@@everythingverysmall Exactly.. 5 people could easily do this for you.. with each person to create just 8 articles per day..
So you didnt tell how visitors FIND that site? No Google, no Social Media? DIRECT? but how do I know that site EXISTS ?

Are u saying i need 25 ysars to make it happen and to be called consistent? Buddy: relevancy and be news worthy is key!
I don't think you need 25 years, but that certainly isn't hurting him.
Does the site owner use AI to generate content?
No
You could have made that website 10x bigger if would do things others usually do 🙄
Not a bad breakdown of a site. Only thing is you didn't half the add income due to knowing what percentage was memberships.
Glad you enjoyed the video.
So, I'll save you some time. Write content that people want. Saved you 30 minutes
Well done. Except the video is only 7 minutes.
@@niche-pursuits Well, it felt like it was 30 minutes.
Chill down dude. Did he kick your dog or something?
