Could a blog like this succeed today? Seems like this function has been taken over by Reddit Tumblr and Facebook. None of which pay the content creators and steal most their content from other sites.
- shouldbworking 10y agoI would say probably, if you're a good enough writer and game the search results a bit. One of my employers gave me permission to spend a day a week writing articles for a couple months. I wrote 5 articles and they brought in over 90% of our site traffic for years, even thought we had hundreds of articles on the site and new ones added a few times a week. The quality of writing matters an extreme amount, more than any of the content farms have you believe. If your content is unique, useful, or brilliant, even to a small number of people, it will bring you good traffic for a long time. We didn't have Facebook sharing or any advertising. People simply shared the links organically
