    because those sites appeal to the lowest
    commom denominator in their respective niches

    Yeah really true. I feel this might be the reason, but why do people come back again if they feel it is stupid?

    Yeah, that's a great answer :) If someone's looking for a good content website he'll be reading it, he's inteligent, he's not interested in ads.

    But the content isn't really a worth thing. Anyway i might be wrong because jus because it doesn't appeal to me i shouldn't call it stupid. But there are really stupid sites which make fortune like the i canhascheezburger. I dont understand how they earn out of those dumb lookin cats

    Maybe this explains it...

    A comment on the blog:

    Someone actually enjoys it. Get a couple thousand (million?) from a human population of a couple billion on earth to feel the same and chaching $$$!

    Trust me, I think the content is dumb also. I went on PerezHilton.com once just to see what's going on with his monetizing techniques and those paint pictures are SO annoying. But... the webmaster side of me thinks his site is genius since he has been able to capture fame and loyal visitors through his website. It really IS pointless, but that's just "Sammy (me)" talking... Fka200 thinks DAMN. I should get some goats and see if people will come to my site!

    I always say unique just works sometimes. There's always a reader for something new! That's why re-copying content is bad for SEO + Readers.

    Alright my posts are getting outta control on this thread. Extremely interesting and great thread started. Rep added OP!!

    LoLLL the funniest quote but so true

    Makes me wonder, how does a blog about blogging makes any money from AdSense, if the readers are all bloggers who have been using AdSense as well??

    To me great content is anything that attracts visitors. You may think it's stupid, but that doesn't matter, they are still getting a ton of traffic.
