Running a viral site by yourself is one of the most enjoyable feelings, like you have this big laboratory to play and test out things out with.

And it was quite easy to do back in the early days of the Internet. I ran one such site in the early 2000s, which attracted 30 million page views per month at its peak.

Like the author, I kept trying all kinds of things to monetize it, at the end affiliate programs and google Adsense worked the best.
