I now blog at http://ta.gd/mypost no ads no nothing, it really just a feed for all things tech, also original post. About 3 years ago I had a news blog called alternative news daily which I sold for about 7 times revenue. My best day ever I took down 800 and change in a day.
It was during the bp oil spill ordeal, I heard Lindsey Williams on a talk radio show talking about all the toxic chemicals and gas the spill would produce, and how the worker were getting sick from it.
up until then I had never heard of anything like this in main stream news, so I wrote a lengthy article on it. A few days later guess what... The story was a hot item in main stream news! Not only did alternativenewsdaily.com have the top position in search, the distribution channels I submitted the story too made up the rest of the serps. Traffic poured in by the thousands and my ads were catching clicks like crazy. Later on the momentum wore off and I was drowned out by NYTimes, huffpost, and others, but that short time I was on top was freaking awesome.
I still have decent ranking blogs that I will try to post breaking news on as soon as I hear about it to try to get a jump on mainstream outlets, I monitor drudgereport for that, but I doubt I'll ever get anywhere close to that day traffic surge.
