They apparently are basing the numbers off Alexa ranking and not much else.

I suppose on paper you could say I'm worth over $15 million, if I SOLD Newgrounds... But I don't actually make millions of dollars running NG. I'm nowhere close to even having $1 million, although some day when the office is paid off, I could sell it and then I might officially be a millionaire. But that's assuming I ever sell the office...

I still do alright, though. :)

Well i have always wondered about this, and it does seem to make sense.

Look at the facts:

Tom is the owner of a highly visited sight with ads going for the price of cars.

He has his own game company and games out on next gen consoles.

I'm not saying i know all of tom's franchises and what he does with his money etc. But from the facts we can only assume the worst.. wait ....no... the best..

I mean for all we know tom could have given all his money to charity.

Muffled laughter all round.

lol, Eric Bauman's not even on the top of the list, despite the fact that he has all this content, has popup ads, and other annoying ad stuff that NG doesn't even have.

It says Top 20 under 30 years of age. Bauman's probably over 30.

Well he's probably not that rich, actually he said so himself that he wasn't. But damn just think of actually having that much.

On the bright side, Newgrounds is awesome!

On the other bright side... um... hmm... come back to me!

Ha ha. Kinda bullshit numbers in the first place. It's based off traffic ranking, and it tells you right on the page "Annual Turnover" as the number they expect. That means Newgrounds rakes in XXXXXXXX per year, but they don't count how much it costs to run it. NG has a full time staff nearing the double digits, astronomical web-hosting costs, and an office mortgage to make good on.

Although I couldn't help but smiling as I noticed the lack of "Eric" on the list.

I can't even begin to imagine how awesome NG would be if we made $15 million per year. It would be insane how much awesome stuff we could do... We could give away $100,000 a month in prizes and that wouldn't even scratch the surface!

I always wonder where these numbers come from and who actually gets them... Like if other top 500 websites are actually making $1 million + every month and I'm just that stupid. I really am just a total failure at monetizing the site, especially since the redesign launch... But it's hard to imagine other sites are REALLY doing that much better, unless their users just love to click ads. Apparently we perform really well with the MMORPG ads on NG, compared to other sites that run them, but even then it doesn't add up to anything near those numbers.

And I still have an invite open for a professional ad sales guy - just has to be someone who is totally pro and knows what he's doing.
