Very similar story to the plentyoffish guy. One person, low overhead and massive revenue.
I wonder if this is because they've been around forever and have a brand on the web, or, if you could launch something with barebones design and replicate their success NOW.
- pchristensen 18y agoI'm guessing it's the former.
- makimaki 18y agoWell there's Drudgeretort.com (a similar site) and it doesn't have the same reach or revenue. Matt Drudge's readership goes a long way back..
- profgubler 18y agoThe thing with Drudgeretort.com is that it is just a knock off trying to attack the original. How often is the knock off as successful as the original. For those that would say that Google wasn't the first search engine, miss the point. Google created something different and better, Drudereport just tried to copy and paste their way to success, I however do think that Drudgeretort likely makes a descent bit of money, just not as much. I however, do think that it is more the name, and the fact that he has always tried to show something different to the Main stream media that have lead to his success. He also knows his audience very well. I really don't think the design is the biggest element to his success, it is just a help to his success.
- dhimes 18y agoI hadn't visited the DrudgeReport in many years. The DrudgeRetort actually looks like (from what I remember) what the original used to look like. Interesting that www.drudge.com points to the retort, not to the original.

- Timothee 18y agoAs far as I can tell, when plentyoffish started there was already a lot of dating sites around, so I suppose it's possible. Far from easy though...
