Traffic for Shoutwire is currently only 20% to 35% what it was last September. That's right folks--this site used to have 3 to 5 TIMES as many users and traffic, and the current owners have fucked it away.

I don't think this is a shock to anyone. SW was crazy popular during the Tspy days, and articles would sometimes be viewed over 100000 times. Now I consider myself lucky to get 2000 views on an ed.

Sadly the owner has stated that he could care less about our Alexa ranking.

Too bad! was a site like no other, why mess with something that works? ads are apart of life but there is more to life then MORE money.

WTF, what does he care about then? Does he know... I know this is basic... but does he know that traffic= more ad clicks = cash?

@med

Quote from an email from the owner, the subject was my last departure, censorship and ad overload:

"you have to admit, the site should make money...for 2 years, site was loosing money...does not matter where it stand in Alexa Ranking..."
