You might probably know him as a “truthful journalist,” who always reveals the ill doing of EPRDF. Elias Kifle is a blogger who runs one of the biggest opposition websites, ethiopianreview.com. According to a trusted web indexing source, alexa, Ethiopian review is ranked #24,346, which is probably in the top 5 list of all Ethiopian websites. This website has more than 250,000 page views a day with minimum of 30,000 unique users a day. If you do not have knowledge on web stats and making $, let me break it down to you.
Ethiopian Review uses Google advertisement network, which is undoubtedly one of the highest paying networks on the web. Google’s rate per thousand page views range from 20 cents to $2. On average, they pay around $1 per thousand page views for a single ad block placed on a web site above the mid point of the website. This is outside the pay per click Google pays, which is a minimum of 10 cents per a single click. For a big website such as ethiopianreview.com, it can be estimated that they receive around 500 clicks per day from the ad boxes placed on the website. Going through the website, an average of 2 ad blocks are placed above the mid point which easily earn ethiopianreview.com more than $500 from the page views only. Adding the clicks and the ad block revenue below the mid point, one can be confident to say that Ethiopian Review makes more than $600 a day. The numbers you see above are very modest to avoid skeptics. At a shiny day, this number might jump to $800 a day. With an earning of more than $18,000 per month, you can ask only one question; what does Elias Kifle do to maximize his earning every single day?
The answer is simple; traffic is equal to money and traffic comes when you make people interested to come to your website. Reviewing most of the posts added at Ethiopianreview.com, it is evident that they are placed just to stir controversy and maintain the flow of traffic to the website. He has a right to agree or disagree with the politics, but the extreme disagreement on every single issue reveals nothing but his technique to attract a certain demographic group who do not like the Ethiopian government under any circumstances. Why don’t they like the government? I leave the answer to you…By: Haq

I don’t think this man is Ethiopian. any Ethiopian can not have reason to humiliate his/her country as such.
No No this person is Eritrean .He works for Eritrean government to humiliate Ethiopian goverenment and Ethiopians .So -Please don’t make mistake this person is Eritrean .u can approve by his any activity …..
It is very sad to see such people making money by inciting negative emotion on a country that they call theirs by name through lies. Such People are deliberately or even naturally can not distinguish between politics and country. They are so selfish that they sell their country for economic advantage.
There are two separate issues here. Opposing the ruling party and national interest. One can not denounce her/his own country because s/he opposes the ruling party. In opposing the ruling party, there are so many issues to criticize such as corruption, land policy etc. However, these people do not even have love for their country but they love it only when they are political and economic beneficiaries. They do not know the sense of citizenship that comprises rights and obligations to your country such sacrificing your life for your country. Besides, they do not have proper understanding of what a country is. A country is about its people not just the land. But, for those people Ethiopia means only one ethnic group. These are the people who do not accept a Gambelan or Sidama to become a diplomat or minister.
In sum, they are very narrow minded people who use their education to confuse the uneducated masses for their own economic interests. They are like a tick who only want to sack the blood of their country without making any significant contribution.
No No this person is Eritrean .He works for Eritrean government to humiliate Ethiopian goverenment and Ethiopians .So -Please don’t make mistake this person is Eritrean .u can approve by his any activity …..
This is a true Ethiopian. I Meles Zenawi am the coward. I stole $ 3 billion Dollar from my own country. Even my cruel wife got more than what I got. What is wrong with Elias to earn money by revealing our corrupt life to Ethiopians. He is a hero and true son of Ethiopia. Elias performs 1000 % better than TPLF mouth-piece ETV. Therefore please use your brain and make balanced judgement. Do not repeat the mistakes I did for a period of 20 years.
