These sites collect news from all over the web to serve the unmet needs of enthusiasts for all sorts of topics. LOUD3R’s goal was achieving 100,000 unique hits across the network within their first 30 days. They exceeded this goal 2 times over with more than 200,000 unique hits for the first month.
