Do you or any of your family members consistently read Yeshiva World News?
Their advertising stats are amazing, but I don't know anyone that actually consistently goes on the site.

Never. But I'm not yeshivish so may not be their (your) target audience

I am their target audience, but stopped reading it years ago. Out of curiosity, what do their advertising stats claim?

If you mean that on their site every other article is another advertisement, then yeah that's amazing

Their unique site visitor numbers, click rates, etc. are beyond compare and frankly don't make sense for a niche market.
Everyone advertises there (rgr) - it's default - because the numbers are great.
I'd love to see the other side - how effective campaigns actually are because the actual content is minimal.

I used to read it on a regular basis, but I stopped. Became so full of "communicated content" that there was very little information that qualified as "news."

Nope, except for occasional amusement. It's a total rag.

Oy, the only thing worse than the main page is the coffee room. I literally found it painful to read.

Yes. I check their site a few times a day. But can't say I've every been influenced by their ads. I find them to be annoying. And I can tell you that I've often clicked on a pop up ad by mistake because the "x" is so small it's hard not to. If their click rate is influenced by that...

Their new layout combined with their newfound obsession with "communicated content" makes me not want to visit their site nearly as often as I used to.

I used to.
Their site is good for "frum" news, like which Rebbe made a chassuna, which gadol is in need of tefillos, coverage of levayas, etc.
But there is a lot of lashon hara masquerading as "news" that it gets very unpalatable.

(If anyone is interested in a spinoff, what is your screen name in the coffee room there? They are very religious in their keeping everyone anonymous.)
