Marketing goes a long way. It makes me wonder how many products/services are out there which are actually much better than the well-marketed ones, but we just don't hear about them because they don't have the same level of marketing.

I actually don't use DO, but I've used their articles many times after searching for how to setup some things on Linux. Their tutorials are excellent and have saved me a ton of time. I'd imagine those articles alone drive a lot of traffic to them.
