Year 1 Debrief: Most Popular 150 Articles Ranked and Linked!

Some surprising cars pop to the top of this list of Car-Revs-Daily.com’s top articles over the past year.

Yep, we just celebrated our one-year anniversary a few days ago —  and things are moving along very nicely indeed!

Are the top-ranked articles our favorites, or the ones that took the most time and effort? Not really. But they do prove that content is the golden principle, with timely or exclusive content the real king-maker, from a traffic and therefore ad revenue perspective.

Overall stats from 11.1.13 – 11.4.14:

  • Total Articles: 1671

  • Total Images:  93,899

  • Average Articles Per Day (7 Days a week!):  4.54

  • Average Photos per Article: 56.2

  • Articles Written exclusively by one super dude?  99.4%

 

The total site revenue would make you sad to hear, but it is growing at 20-percent monthly, and will top $50,000 annually in November 2017 at current rates.

We still need our “hockey stick” growth moment on the annual traffic graphs, but who doesn’t, right?

=]

Cheers to next 10,000 articles.

Most Popular 150 Articles from 11.1.13 – 11.4.14:

There are more than a few odd ducks in here — but our shotgun approach to covering everything from supercars to boats to bikes to military trucks appears to be working!
