I'm Getting Screwed!
Andrew Sullivan has made $200,000 in one year from his readers. I never read him, and it’s too late now because apparently he’s taken his cash and gone to Europe (Switzerland on this tour, I wonder?), but every time I heard about these pledge drives, through other blogs, I assumed they were for charity.
I have credit card debts. I figure if he’s getting 54087 visits a day and I’m getting around 215, and he’s getting $200,000, that means my slice of the pie should be $795.02.
I take checks and money orders.
This all according to Tim Blair, Michelle Malkin, Bill at INDC Journal, and a bunch of others linked to by Michelle.

Speaking as web geek, sapping his audience for funds to help pay hosting for a largely text-based website is an absolute crock. Assuming 60,000 hits a day with roughly 120k per visit (current home page is around 100k of data), that comes out to: 60,000 * 120k = 7,200,000k/day. Divide by 1024k makes it 7030Mbs a day which makes it about 7Gbs daily, * 31 for ~220Gbs a month. Looking at the hosting company ninme.com uses, they offer 250Gbs of bandwidth a month for $105 bucks a month. Times 12 = $1,260.
Not a bad profit.

LOL. This is so nice, all the shock over him being a blog-ho. Right in front of the faces of his brown-nose supporters, too. And the smeared with brown nose Instapundit went off on a tangent and did not hit the crock issue on the head.

LOL. This is so nice, all the shock over him being a blog-´ho, more precisely a blog-´ho-mo. Right in front of the faces of his brown-nose supporters, too. I wonder how much Sulliedvan ripped one of his major brown-nosers, Instapundit, for?
