He may have also hired someone to get the word out as I noticed that many of the stories hit the same day... This was highly planned. He even has a email address for media inquiries. This is not some amateur blog that is "all about the blogger". This is from TPG playbook of setting up a business plan that then turns into a blog.
Definitely seems well-executed. And cc conversions are likely his end game, yes, but he doesn't have any affiliate links yet. So, he will need to sustain some content to build an audience that he can sell to. So far, all he has is a lot of eyeballs that will go away if there's not something more.
