Always been there, always will be. One of the last beacon of a censor-free internet.
The biggest problem with buying 4chan traffic is that it's not easily targeted towards any specific type of person. The anonymous nature of the site will forever hold its ad revenues back in the past as other social sites (Facebook, Twitter, PoF.com, reddit, etc) further advance their targeting abilities.
The biggest problem with buying 4chan traffic is that it's not easily targeted towards any specific type of person. I see plenty of opportunities for targeted advertising on 4chan.

> The anonymous nature of the site will forever hold its ad revenues back Or make revenues possible in the first place? What allure would 4chan have if it weren't anonymous?

I don't understand your comment. What would be the problem with someone admitting publicly that they've been to 4chan?
There's certainly a stigma.
