Hi Jeff,

There is an inherent challenge in any ‘all news sites’ in any niche industry whether it is WP, travel, auto, or online gaming and that is monetization. The content costs are very high. You need a team of writers and they all have their own bill to pay. The revenue generated from ad sales won’t be able to cover site costs for a sustainable period. That was the case for any site that I’ve been involved with over the last 6 years (non WP related) the reason being is that banner adds don’t covert well enough to the liking of the advertiser so once the ad deal expires the advertisers rarely re-up. This goes for sites that have solid (200,000 + unique visits per month ) traffic as well. As Felix, from RichWP said, if you use the news/info/ tuts etc. to supplement your core business or website that is generating positive revenue then that is sustainable. If that is not the case, then after 2 to 3 years most likely an ‘all news’ sites either dries up or sells out.
