This logic would also apply to other tech blog and generally tech sites with tech-savvy users. Most of them, including Wired, Ars, Digg, slashdot are doing just fine.
Digg has their own marketing/advertising team, unlike reddit. I think this makes the difference.
- petercooper 16y agoAnd not all forms of ads are blocked out by AdBlock type plugins/addons by default either, just the most onerous ones and those people can be bothered to manually add.
- TeHCrAzY 16y agoJust checked: adblock + easylist = no ads on reddit.
- commandar 16y agoDigg is also smart about actually selling and placing ads compared to reddit. I've been checking out digg for the first time in years the last few days, and I was somewhat surprised to find that I actually kind of like the way digg does interstitial ads. Reddit has one header ad and a couple of sidebar ads that are self-advertising more often than not. (I will note for the record that this ad[1] spotted earlier today got a good laugh out of me. Somebody has used reddit's self-serve advertising to its fullest potential).

- pavs 16y agoYeah some guy paid $8 CPM for rickroll, reddit has a minimum of $20k per campaign. Here is a discussion on the ad: http://www.reddit.com/r/ads/comments/cpm2d/i_cant_believe_somebody_bought_this_ad/ http://www.reddit.com/r/ads/comments/cpm2d/i_cant_believe_so...
- commandar 16y agoJesus, no wonder they can't make any money and are constantly serving up self-ads.
