I couldn't visually confirm the ads on archive.org... didn't even think to look at the source. /facepalm
Thanks.
My post was not serious and I haven't said anything actually. What did you saw I confirmed?
Try web archive. I don't know why something like that would matter... maybe it's some research thing I can't see yet

For some who start viral sites (like facebook) it is believed that it is better to launch with no ads and include them way latter after garnering an audience. This guy didn't follow that rule, which is why it matters.
But I don't know why I'm answering since you probably know this, being the SE1 and PPC expert that you are.
BTW mpbiz, you beat me to it, I was going to give you shit for 'y u no archive.org'
I messaged mpbiz the same thing about not losing the audiences trust from shoving ads in their face right from the forefront, however, I don't think that matters much when you have no real brand value to your audience. The only brand value that Viral Nova has is from the notoriety it has garnished from reporters for "bad" journalism and doing something that has never been done before. It has garnered a lot of interest from internet marketers too, but from the general public, not so much. He could swap out the domain name, clone the website, and post it up on his fan page and very little would change.
I know he has used other ad networks in the past but said that no one can match Adsense's CPMs (except the NSFW sites where adsense isn't allowed)
I'm almost positive he would have put up ads from the beginning and that is what archive shows as well. Why wouldn't you? Facebook has conditioned the majority of the population that ads are ok. As long as your content is interesting to people they don't care.

That's definitely basic stuff.
When trying to get something viral you must be sure there aren't any other distractions like ads. Or at least, as less as possible. The best example that can be is upworthy.com
You guys optimize your landing pages to sell a product, these guys optimize the page to get more shares because that's what they have to "sell".

You're just full of wisdom aren't you?
It has already been confirmed that he has had adsense running since day 1.
I'm putting your ass on ignore. By combining your posts with my love of craft beer I'm accelerating my brain cell loss at a rate that is much too fast.
My guess is he is confusing CPM with RPM. I wouldn't say it is unreasonable to think that he's making around $2 per pageview, but he's running multiple ad units.
The thing is though, he could actually run with some ad networks and probably make better CPMs than what he gets off of AdSense. He should just be backfilling with AdSense and he could be making even more.

Slightly OT, but still interesting:
Indie smash hit 'Flappy Bird' racks up $50K per day in ad revenue

100 Million Visitors on a Site with 819k likes is pretty impressive. with a 10th of his likes, only got a 10'000ths of his views (hope my math is right here).
got my work cut out for me.
It's amazing though coming up with that much good content by yourself, everyday, it's hard.
to the previous comment on not wanting to hire staff
I can relate wanting to sell before you have to hire, or expand with VC money,
went down that road (never hitting anything close in his earnings numbers)
but having hired, being forced to expand and manage people was probably one of the worst experience I ever had.
not saying that's the reason he wants to sell, with these numbers he's in a different league, different universe.
If I'm ever in the position again to need extra hands when you can't stop growth, I'll probably just sell too, somebody else running it may fuck it up.
man 100 million visitors, not view, i think it's entirely possible, his site is not the only one that shares his contents across the FB

flappy bird is amazing.
i've an app at the moment in android that took off, doing 10 million impressions a day, earning a measly €0.05 CPM from Admob (or RPM as Kaedus says, I think the acronyms are interchangeable). so say he's making $25k a day on android, he's putting up about 350million impressions a day! ridiculous numbers

When I was at school we had a word for people like you: Tlabber
"yeah AlwaysAbove he's a real tlabber"
Trying Like A Bastard.
Interesting. Want to share a link?
350 million imps doesn't sound a lot when you keep in mind that the app has been downloaded over 50 million times and the gameplay is quite addictive.
I wonder how much money they could make with IAPs like new level designs or new designs for that fat bird.
Still wondering what made Flappy Bird so popular as its been around for almost a year.
i'd rather not share a link, it's an easily copied idea. if you saw its ranking, you wouldn't think at all that it's making a bit of change. and not ONE backlink, review or twitter mention that i can find. all android apps are found by app store search IMO.
apps really are where it is at the moment i think. i love that apps are kinda hard to code and java and especially objective-c are difficult. it's a good barrier of entry. if some of you real hustlers and marketers here invaded, i'd be in trouble
looks like quickmeme read about viralnova as well. are have they been doing this for a while? this just popped up on my FB feed

100 million hits a month
Amount of user info in database: 0
Not sure why so many of you have a hardon for viralnove besides maybe just for the $ its generating. LOL guy is fucking up in so many different ways its not even funny. Lets see how many hits he's doing in 1 year from now
If this guy added a User Registration page he could instantly make a shit ton more and add a TON of value. Let users submit their own articles, message each other, have a chat room, a forum, let users favorite the articles they like best, etc.
Young users are leaving FB in the masses and moving towards more social apps like SnapChat and WeChat. One simple domain ban on FB could ruin his traffic.

50k a day? How pissed is the guy who made the helicopter game?
What I meant was anyone with half a brain cell wouldn't invest 1-2M $ to buy a viral story site. Lol you can just make your own, do a huge fb campaign with a 0.05-0.10 CPC and get between 10M and 40M clicks to his website.
