Juicy Campus to Shut Down
- edgeztv 18y agoWho would have thought, a year ago, that any site with that number of users would be shutting down. I too have seen ad revenues decrease 3-5x on my site. Are websites that don't sell a product no longer viable?
- psyklic 18y agoDon't take juicycampus as the norm -- the site was very controversial. Because of this, google pulled them from adsense, they received legal challenges, and im sure they had difficulties getting funded after the initial round.
- tsally 18y agoCould someone with more business experience than I elaborate on this? Is it really just because ad revenue is down, or was the company mismanaged? My impression of this site was that it was widely successful. I know that it had definitely broken into the mainstream (known among the average college population), which is a huge milestone.
- jupiter 18y agoI think you cannot keep a site with traffic like this running on AdSense (at least with a decent performance) and it's definitely not an environment for advertisers who pay top dollars.
- akd 18y agoJuicy Campus wouldn't have survived in any economy. The site is so repugnant that no legitimate advertiser wanted to be associated with the site.
- helveticaman 18y agoSeems like such a waste to see a popular website just die without anyone to keep it alive. EDIT: I was just reading the gossip on my campus. Good riddance.
