£300 to get articles written about his site? Sounds like the best marketing ROI he could have hoped for.


But the site had to be taken down. £300 to get articles written about a site that once existed.


He has plans to put it back up as soon as he has his degree. I'm sure the petition asking for it to come back doesn't hurt either.


Probably not a huge deal - he's finished his final exam so will presumably graduate in the next few weeks. And since the summer vacation (=fewer students on campus) is approaching I guess he'd see a drop in traffic anyway.

In fact this could be the start of his marketing campaign for next intake of students...


Oh, didn't catch that part.

It still might be worth it from the perspective of getting jobs after college. "Oh! You're the FitFinder guy? I've heard of that. I heard that was super-popular before you got shut down."
