Digital point!

I think he meant to say 06 (the date of the article)

 

I'd think you are right Manthem.

The article says that he earns $10,000 a month dependant upon page views etc, and that was back when there was 15,000 users according to the article. Now there is Members: 117,149, Active Members: 41,537 according to the stats on the index page here. That is a considerable jump in numbers.

Though, the article was posted last year according to the date on it, so, erm...

I checked the wayback machine and the numbers are correct. These are the stats for the day the article was posted (jan. 16th, 2006) Members: 16,067, Active Members: 7,339

Complete stats for January 16

lol i meant 06. I can't beleive its 07 already it seems like i just got out of high school on 95

 

Well, I heard it was about $10,000 but it could be more. I seldom click ads, but I do. I use the community and if I see something interesting that I may want to look at, I'll click it since I want to give back to the community.

 

Probably $25k-30k.

 

Over 10k a month for sure

 

If someone keep clicking the ads on the DP day after day after day, will adsense account of DP be banned?

 

I think Dp is in top 5 highest adsense earner list.

 

Think again.

 

that would sound like you are interested in getting DP banned from adsense?

 

You don't know Shawn's id. It rotates.

 

Well, that piece in NYT just kind of gives a figure without really giving a true figure. My guess is that at the time he earned in excess of $10,000 from DP. I don't have any idea what he earns now from it.
