Most of the story is told here, which is the "About Us" link. You won't be told how much ad revenue the site makes, ever. First, because that's none of anyone's business (including mine), except Dani, and secondly, because divulging such information violates Google's TOS.
about the google ads part , this is just a joke , i realy don't want to know .....and i didn't read the google TOS ,
A word of wisdom = Read the Google TOS if you use AdSense :)
I've actually gone into some pretty long rants within this forum if you do a little digging. :)
I found an interesting article by googling: its an interview with Miss Dani about daniwebs success

I have a thread about it somewhere
That was a year ago *oh, the memories*
wow, daniweb has really come on since then
remember the old-style forums? (bluey colour scheme?)
Hehe, yup!
yeah its changed alot
general idea is still awesome though, a place (free) where people can get help, advertise for work or just talk about technology related issues
i hope daniweb continues this tradition as every day i see more and more things like "experts exchange" where tyou have to play, spring up across the net
Yeah, I'm not a fan of Experts-Exchange although I am a fan of the broad array of IT-related topics they cover and the way they were able to attract a targeted audience of IT professionals.
If anyone has any old screen captures of daniweb it would be really great to see some.
Wow that has to be some kind of record. Five minutes for a reply!
Have you always owned daniweb? I am sure i have read somewhere that you started with a dif domain.
The site has come on along way.
i think it was just going from techtalk to daniweb when i joined at least (bluey/pinkey colour scheme?), this was in like 03/04?
It was orange :) Not pink :) But yup!

It started out as a site about my dogs when I was 14 years old. But even back then I developed an interest in Internet marketing, and starting redoing it as a site to help other people with dog sites ... "Promoting toy dog sites one bark at a time!" We had HTML tutorials, TONS of dog clipart, and even a banner exchange program.
We're a friendly, industry-focused community of developers, IT pros, digital marketers, and technology enthusiasts meeting, networking, learning, and sharing knowledge.
