Yeah, but you get "stupid people" clicks, which pay crappy. Because people who visit perezhilton usually don't have any money and/or are there just for entertainment, not to buy something.
Those sites (icanhascheezeburger / perehilton) are absolutely idiotic, and the same can be said for their visitors. Just by reading the content (if you can call it "content") and comments, I feel like throwing up. lol ..but just because the sites are stupid doesn't mean the webmasters are...These *might* be the old classic case of smart people (I'm giving the webmasters the benefit of the doubt) taking advantage of dumb people (their visitors who like ridiculous cat pics and gossip garbage)
Well, I don't think it was the same people who went back, probably new visitors who access the sites. What is important is to make something which seems very enticing but then when they visit the site, it sucks. Kindda like how some movies are, good title, good promos but when you watch it, you just feel that it is a waste of time.
Gossip sites like hilton's pull from the same crowd that picks up the gossip magazines on the racks by the check outs at the grocery store. Unfortunately with the explosion of some unknown need for celebrity crap it was only a matter of time before it appeared on the internet. Now all of those people with the extra time in line, have it online as well and promote the growth. But in the end we all know its a numbers game, more traffic = more $
Maybe your the only one that's becoming stupider? You obviously haven't heard of the Flynn Effect: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flynn_effect PS: The mere fact that you watched (and probably liked) Idiocracy, yet found a brilliant teen comedy like Superbad discredits your judgment.
build a site that will develop loyalty, and a following......a loyalty to your site, AND to your ads...... ......I can't say that my site is making the most right now, but im 100% confident in the concept, and the content generated by many of the 350+ members it has gained in less than a month.... http://www.samsforce.proboards54.com
I liked it aswell, it doesn't mean we're any less of a person than you, that's just being shallow, that's the kind of one track thought process that holds many people back - just because you don't like it, you wont do it, you wont visit it etc. does NOT mean other people aren't interested and this applies to online business aswell. If you don't understand that then to bad for you.
...because stupid people visit them. - that is only 1 of the answers... Consider this: Why do many people with high IQ like stupid comedy? Will you resist from clicking the dumbest link in a history just to check how stupid it is? How many of you while reading this thread didnt go to ParisHilton.com?
Why would you say perezhilton is a stupid site? you might not like it but it gets new content everyday and millions of people love celebrity gossip.
Bcoz alot of people on internet are Stupid, that's why those sites have attraction of alot of visitors. lolzz
ParisHilton.com or PerezHilton.com ? PerezHilton.com is the site being discussed. At least it isn't copy pasted material put on a Made For AdSense site. ::rolls eyes::
Because other type of site targets people who has knowledge but this sites target unknowledge people so they are earning more
