joepie91: why? http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/about.com |
|
14:41
🔗
|
joepie91 |
Nemo_bis: because they basically survive entirely off search engine ranking? |
|
14:41

Wikia runs on a 3 years old MediaWiki core btw |
|

🔗
|
joepie91 |
Nemo_bis: new content still gets posted on about.com - though massively less than before, they've laid off a huge amount of writers in the past years - but the site itself doesn't get updated |
|

|
joepie91 |

I thought about.com mostly lived of scraping and SEO-ising content produced by others |
|

🔗
|
joepie91 |
no |
|

🔗
|
joepie91 |
all their content is original, with increasing SEO-ness |
|
15:00
🔗
|
joepie91 |
they employed a massive amount of writers in the past |
|

🔗
|
joepie91 |
it's pretty much a dotcom boom company that somehow never went bust completely |
|
15:02
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
they have tons of stuff from Wikipedia and Wiktionary as well |
|
15:02
🔗
|
joepie91 |
they might've added external stuff later on, idk |
|
15:02
🔗
|
joepie91 |
I'd say that's a warning sign as well :| |
