There is an error in your story however- comScore Media Metrix reports PopSugar has 400,000 UNIQUE VISITORS not 1.5M as stated in your story. Did the VC's check this before doing the investment??? May be 1.5 million total visitors (not unique) That makes PopSugar one of the good blogs but way behind some great ones with larger reach. You check out are: USWeekly Blog (3x PopSugar) JustJared (2x PopSugar) TheBosh (2x PopSugar) and the People Magazine Blog This is great news for blogs!
