Match Group Buys PlentyOfFish for $575M
When I was just an ignorant kid, I was fond of building stupid little website where I could put adsense ads (they used to approve almost everyone) and have a small pocket-money income. In the best month, I made around $300. I could never figure out how to get traffic and people like Marcus and Amit Agarwal used to be my heroes.<p>Although, people like us on HN, won't feel excited about making a little websites and earning through Adsense income; a good business / startup seems more worthwhile but sometimes, I do get tempted to enter that territory again seeing people making thousands of dollars a day with just re-hashed content and a little effort but I feel it won't be something to be proud of in the future.
