Why Does This MFA Site Survive?

Months ago, I googled "menards ebook reader" because I saw months earlier, that they had a cheap ebook reader when I visited one of their stores. Anyway, this is what I found. This ad has been there for months. How do these survive when so many less obvious sites get taken down. I keep watching to see how long they last.

    Wow, I wonder if this site makes any cash. Does it rank high in search?

      Because there is nothing wrong with a MFA site.

      I think we misunderstand the value of sites.

      Like cooltext.com

      No content there, why should they rank so high?

      You have to put each site into perspective.

      Black Friday is a niche, once a year niche, mostly.

      Does that mean google takes it down, only to put it
      back in November? Hardly.

      That site will last, no problem. It's not a sorry MFA site.
      It obviously has authority.

      People misunderstand why google takes a site out.

        I would probably put my bets on the fact that it was hammered hard with backlinks on a solid every day schedule...

        How many links does it have?

        There are sites out there that have zip written content and might feature like a small application, for example an image resize app, and they will still rank well.

        Content does not always mean, written content.

          I thought it HAD to have content of some sort. That's just an image in the middle. It was #1 when I first found it under those search terms. It's dropped since then, but it's still on the front page

          It's got to have a really high CTR since there's no where else to go

    That page probably has 10-20 percent CTR.
