Denton's strategy is pretty simple: Use the four core blogs (Gawker, Gizmodo, Lifehacker, Kotaku) to fund new ideas (Deadspin, Idolator, Sploid, etc.), then either build on a successful idea (Deadspin), sell the idea to someone else (Idolator), or kill it if it's unsuccessful (Sploid). Use the sold capital to fund new blogs and prop up the marginal ones. Repeat.

Oh, and do it all on a shoestring and an insane publishing schedule.

One could argue he's being completely contrarian, but at the same time, he's selling decent online properties in a time when online advertising budgets are rocketing up and there's still capital out there to buy online properties.

What other sites are left in the paid blogger world that haven't announced any layoffs/shut downs?
