Hmmm... the article says that they seem to get 4 million visitors per month, but only 35,000 have subscribed.

That means that only .875% of viewers (that's 7/8 of one percent) pay for the service. I don't know which dictionary that Salon uses, but that hardly fits the definition of "sucessful", unless the subscription is inordinately expensive.

Out of curiosity, I wonder how the number of monthly visitors to FR compares with the number of visitors who contribute $1/year or more?
