Here's the skinny.
I had been bitching and moaning about the PARKED.com matter (not a hate thread) not recognizing the stats and traffic for a 7 year old domain name that dropped and I was fortunate to pick up.
Anyways, big traffic. Parked refused to pay for traffic from "unknown" sources...sources that were pure type in traffic.
That domain was
www.BleacherMob.com...a former fan site for the NBA Sacramento KINGS team.
Folks, I am here to tell you stats don't lie.
Kenny, aka LazyLeo, was contacted to do this back into a site.
He did it. I had more or less not paid attention to it until a little while ago when Kenny contacted me to ask how the site was doing.
I was nearly floored.

Why this site was ever dropped in the first place is beyond me as the site had thousands of registered forum members.
Kenny redid and launched the site in late April:

Okay, so I am impressed. A legit PR4, a legit fan site resurrected, and traffic that is very pleasing for a site that has essentially been off line since caught on the drop in November 2006.
Over all, traffic has been measured from more than 550 uniques sources.
So, what's next? Not sure. PM'ing Kenny.
Thanks is an understatement.
Revenue? Build it and they will come.
