There's some irony when everyone thinks they know what can be done to "fix" what's arguably the most trafficked frum targeted site on the internet...

It's ugly, I know. But people don't take well to change.
More traffic than yeshiva world?
Definitely the most profitable ;)

Arguably ;)

I don't know how accurate Alexa is, but FWIW
DD:
Global rank 27,788
Rank in United States  6,004   
How fast does dansdeals.com load? Fast (1.2 Seconds), 69% of sites are slower.

YWN:
Global rank 27,613
Rank in United States  6,828   
How fast does theyeshivaworld.com load? Very Slow (8.732 Seconds), 99% of sites are faster.

You realize how crazy it is that there are only 6K sites in the States that have more traffic than you?
And probably half those sites are NFSW

Not sure how crazy it is. If you think about it..
There are a few dozen sites used by all. A few hundred big sites, etc.

So your saying their readership abroad is so large and much larger than dd that it pushes them from less in the US to higher overall doesn't sound right to me

YWN is probably a lot more popular in the holy land than DD

Pictures are an interesting thing. On first glance, I cant see a picture helping out any of these deals. But on the other hand, Amex offers became a whole lot easier with the added logos.
well if pictures would be added then this would've had no chance at all to make it to DDMS!  :P

Not too hard to understand, DD is very US-centric.

DD top 4 with local rank:
United States 6,004
Israel 2,301
Canada 55,512
Australia 29,522
Global rank 27,788

YWN top 4 with local rank:
United States 6,828
Israel 753
UK 19,256
Canada 25,345
Global rank 27,613

According to similarweb.com, 78% of YWN readership is from the USA, and 93% of DD hits are.
(Admittedly, the numbers in there are dissimilar to alexa.)
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

BTW from what is currently in the wiki there is nothing that cannot be easily done with free/cheap semi-customizable Wordpress themes and a couple of widgets.
