#3"POF has one single employee: the founder and CEO Markus Frind. Makes up to $10 million a year on Google ads working only two hours a day. 30+ Million Hits a Day (500 - 600 pages per second)."
I find this more interesting than the parent article; although it seems clear hiring more people helped them expand (and handle that expansion) a lot, a single employee/founder doing that much is crazy impressive.

You might enjoy this article, then (I read it in a physical copy of Inc. a few years ago, and remember really liking it).

...and anyone here can make a comfortable income from adsense.
Do not believe the hivemind here that advertising based income isn't possible.

Not sure your point, I make my income from advertising (well company does and pays me, same thing right?) my fascination was with the single employee part.

Oh definitely. I was just pointing out that it's a very viable model for anyone here to copy, contrary to the advice of most here.

Nobody's saying it's impossible — just that like many other possible sources of revenue, such as lottery tickets, it isn't very dependable. If you're able to get 200 million pageviews a day, all sorts of avenues for making money are open to you. For most prospective businesses, though, "I will get 200 million pageviews a day and be able to maintain it practically by myself" is not a very safe assumption to make.

#10So around 2.3k HPS monthly average. Assuming an average peak is 10 times that, 23k HPS seems a little little high but doable for a handful of servers (after load balancing and caching come into play).
One note says "everything is dynamic, nothing is static" which sounds weird if they're using Akamai for anything but images. Images are claimed to be served at 100K HPS, which would be difficult for a handful of servers, especially with the dynamic content on top of it. It comes down to caching and hardware as usual.
