DIC Breaks 100,000 Pageviews
December 12th, 2025 by ScrivsToday over at Work Boxers I wrote about the importance of design and getting links. In that entry I did a mini case study on Damn I’m Cute and the impact its new design has had on traffic. I also mentioned that today DIC would reach 100,000 pageviews for the month of December according to StatCounter.
I think what makes me most excited about this is that we are better able to leverage the traffic of one of the sites to push traffic to other Fine Fools sites. We have implemented a Network Headline bar at the top of DIC that displays the most recent headline from a FF site. We are adding this bar to every site in the Network to hopefully push more traffic around the Network and expose people to some sites they may otherwise ignore.
If you look at the two major blog networks, WIN and Gawker, you will find that each has a “flagship” site that helps push some traffic to other sites to help build them up. This is a great reason for the success of each of them. 9rules is successful because it is able to leverage the audience of sites that already exist and move those around the Network. Obviously Fine Fools doesn’t have that luxury and therefore it needed to take the WIN/Gawker approach and the first hurdle to doing that has been crossed I believe.
We are slowly pushing out the new designs to the sites and we should be able to finish the transition by early January. Very much looking forward to what 2006 will bring to the Fine Fools writers.
