| There are a few things you forgot $2 CPM!! That's not even close to what shitty ad networks pay. Majority of traffic comes from countries with < 5 cent CPM HOSTING COST
It's not just about running a wordpress website here.
Most decent site run auto uploaders which need decent size seedboxes. Easily hovering around a thousand dollars Sources/runners:
If its a scene pre-d site you need access to some runners. Scene access isn't cheap Changing Domains & black hat seo:
These sites are constantly loosing domains and almost all google ranking ones are using black hat seo to get their ranking. Usually means paying someone to do the dirty work. --
Some revenue streams you missed - Pay Per Link (aka locked/paid link shortner)
things like AdFly - Background Crypto miners (becoming rather popular on streaming sites) -'FTP ACCESS' / paid subscriptions Still millions? Not by a long shot.. Few thousands.. Probably yes |
It couldn't be further from being a scene site. The content is limited and most of it is published late compared to some other sources available.
AdFly is a mix of pay per view and pay per click. Didn't think it was worth a specific category but why not.
Crypto is a new thing, that certainly wasn't available a year ago. That's a very interesting point though, shady sites will probably be the first ones to have a good use for it.
