That is how many times the main page of drudge was uploaded in just march of 08. Good grief, how much F'n money is he makin? Dawgstudent, any ideas? I was just wondering because isnt it based on hits and traffic? Also, i know you try to have less people frequent the page during reuppin time for costs purposes...how much damn money would his be? Thanks...I know its not msu related, but i thought because of you guys having a site you might know...

Our cost is set by Yuku/ezboard because they host the message board software. The home page of SixPackSpeak.com is paid by me and that is about $100/year for hosting and domain name. For the Drudge report, he probably has to pay writers, IT, etc so he has other costs as well than just the domain and hosting.

He is probably making a killing but there is no telling how much $$$ he makes. Just for reference, this message board is loaded about 2 million/month during the slow times and about 3 million/month during football.

...drives those page views up significantly. FARK experimented for one day setting a auto-refresh just to see what the difference was, and it was quite significant.

keeps hitting refresh to see new posts, etc. I bet Gene gets about 10-15 million/month.
