The Daily Mail Online is doing really well in terms of readership and competes with the likes of BuzzFeed for page views.

One of the most read news sources in the world isn't it?
They've got 'clever' methods and get the absolute most out of a news story, no matter how banal. For example, when a celebrity gets married, they'll do loads of articles related to the marriage, such as an article all about the dress. It's all largely shite but it's working for them. It gets them hits.
They're also renowned fur shamefully stealing stuff, in some cases as brazenly as just changing the name on the by-line, without giving credit.
Allegedly.
