Wait a minute... Ask The Builder really is a bad website...

I've been talking about AskTheBuilder for years.
I've been quoting AskTheBuilder for years.
I've been referring people to the Adsense Case Study for years.
But today I realized, I've never really looked at AskTheBuilder at the level that I should have.
So I just did. And in my opinion, that website is pretty bad.
It doesn't suck in the way a total spammer website sucks.
But have a look for yourself:
http://www.askthebuilder.com/sitemap.xml
I had always placed Tim in the same category as people like YoungHouseLove or thepioneerwoman.com.
But, after going through a few dozen pages of his, I wouldn't rank him in anywhere near the same category as them.
Consider the three articles:
AskTheBuilder - Deck
thepioneerwoman
Young House Love
Lowes is ranked number one right now: Lowes.com : How to Build a Deck
I mean when I peruse Tim's pages, I can see he gave a 45 second speech about the keyword.
But that's about it. He didn't teach anyone how to "build a deck" in that post... The title doesn't even make sense...
His site content is mostly a remnant of the early days -- when we all did strictly verbatim Google Keyword Tool-based content creation.
Not to mention the horrendous navigational structure of that site. What were they thinking there?
Also, a now non-existant homepage... basically just an email optin box now AsktheBuilder.com - Do it Right Not Over
And the immense CPU usage that that annoying advert video causes...
And the three static Div's that float over the content...
And as you can see in the comments, he doesnt have near the 'level of engagement' that the other two examples do.
And what is with the h1 tags all over the page...
its like they were trying to make a confusing page on purpose...
I dunno...
Now its not all bad. He does have some winning posts.
But man... It's definitely not hard for me to see why his "light-content posts" are bringing down the rest of the site...
(A lot of his posts seem to often have less than 200 words.)
And its full of "product keywords" like: Joist Hangers
Anyway, all interesting...
But it ain't too hard to see why this site got booted.
