My Secret Weapon for Clickworthy Content Is Older Than Google
Most creators and business owners are chasing the latest AI tools and bots for content ideas.
After dropping the kids off at school, I spend ten minutes reading an odd website from the 1990s: the Drudge Report.
Matt Drudge set up the gossipy news aggregation website in 1995… before Google. It still attracts nearly one hundred million visitors every month.
If you ever wasted hours agonizing over the look and feel of your newsletter or personal website, the Drudge Report looks the same as it did in the 1990s.
Black bold headlines on a white background. No fancy WordPress themes, AI chat-bots, or high-res imagery are required.
The Drudge Report famously broke the Monica Lewinski scandal and reported on Prince Harry’s deployment in Afghanistan.
I don’t read the site for politics, news, or the latest gossip about celebs. I couldn’t care if the site leans left or right. It’s a treasure trove of great headlines, odd stories,s and quirky events.
Here are a few fun stories I came across recently:
- $344 for coffee? Farm selling most expensive cup…
- The Loneliness Trap: How to Avoid It
- Surge in demand for nuke bunkers…
