Associated Content Benefitting from Citizen Journalism

Citizen journalism site Associated Content is growing and continually profiting. In a recent interview with eConsultancy, CEO Patrick Keane explained that for the past 5 years, revenues have grown 100% year over year and that in the past year, the site has had over 300,000 registered contributors, who publish about 10,000 new pieces of content weekly.

Keane credits this success to content that targets very specific groups and is easy to find online. According to Comscore, Associated Content has16 million unique visitors monthly, with 90% coming through search.
