How much revenue does Anandtech generate off this site?

[Miramonti]

I suspect on an hourly wage equivalent, everyone who works on this site and its content probably make less per hour than a 10 year old bali cocoa bean picker.

"alot" isn't a word.

 

[AdamSnow]

"a lot" is though.

I wonder how much revenue do those ads bring. I totally trained my mind to ingore them. In fact I don't even remember of hand if ATOT has ads or not.

i'm guessing under 1million a year in revenue. If its just banner ads i don't see how they can sell more than 80k a month in marketing....i could be way off though

grammer-nazi'ing is a bannable offense.

Its not just the ads that create revenue, its also from computer companies that has given him samples of stuff to test and review. He probably gets kickbacks.

Can anyone give a yes/no for the Ferrari rumour?

Must be a busy guy though. This site is uber-l33t for hardware reviews etc...

 

[Shawn]

People still have ads on their sites?

 

[HardcoreRobot]

they are paid in free ipods

 

[Baked]

I never click on the ads. In fact, I ad-block them.

Anand is like some sort of nerd-pimp hybrid.

Well, that's good, because he's being a grammar 'nazi'.
