Full Title:It's Time People Realized That The Drudge Report Is A Major Media Property Worth Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars
Everyone knows about The Drudge Report, the site that journalist and entrepreneur Matt Drudge created more than a decade ago.

“If not for Drudge I might not have found freerepublic.”
Same here, after finding FR in 1998 I have never been back to Drudge.
I believe that Thompson feller owns one that is likely worth at least a few million hisself.
don’t nobody tell him..
Ah...but Drudge has become a genius on page set-up. The way he picks photos and stories and how they draw the eye. He creates an unmistakable. (but subtle) theme
Ann Althouse (interesting blog) has finally noticed this and now regularly takes a screenshot of his page, points out the cleverness and has complete threads on that subject alone.
I wake up, brew coffee and look at the drudgereport.
Matt Drudge is THE original blogger, and holds his position by virtue of offering a superior product.
I hope he makes several billion dollars!
I don't click on most of his topics, but I always click on all the topics that interest me. He never fails to come up with at least one item I want more information on, every day.
As you don't even “read” his work, I have to ask why YOU would think your admittedly willfully ignorant personal opinions of his website might be of any real worth to anyone?
Poynter Institute tuition payer?
I bet you paid a lot of money for your “higher education” didn't you?
?
I like Drudge and check it several times a day. I don’t understand the dollar figure on its possible worth. Yes, it has an ad on the top of the page, but my eye passes past it and I’ve never clicked in it or bought something via the ads. The report is only as good as it is with Matt at the helm, if he left in a buyout, any value would evaporate.
““If not for Drudge I might not have found freerepublic.”

Same here, too.
That’s how I found FR, and have been here since.
Hundreds of millions of times NEWSWEAK.
