500k unique user per month, how does that compare to some of the other sites.

I like the news/info there but hate the layout/design.

I noticed they bought it for their "coming soon" website, bikeradar.com.

Why did they advertise bikeradar.com if they hadn't even finished buying all the parts for it?!

2.2m is way too much for this and 500k viewers. You could build and market something like this for less than 1m. There's a sucker born every minute.
