Love him or hate him, his site is now the worlds largest, independent website.

TBH I had never heard of him.
However, after briefly looking at his site a lot of what he says seems to make sense.
Thanks for the heads up.

Only a mention as I normally have a look at various sites and I know that Ken has a lot of negative press.

He has become very commercialised over the last few years but it has allowed him to give up full time work.

He's been a Pentax doomster and naysayer for several years, predicting the demise of Pentax, but somehow, he's been proved wrong!

By being one of the original Nikon "internet gurus", he has a large enough audience to entertain.

He's rather typical of the CanNikonian brigade, but once you adjust your biasometer, his opinions and ideas make interesting reading.
Best regards

I work in this field, and this sounded a bit fishy to me so I had a quick look on Alexa. Granted Alexa isn't totally accurate but it's a good indicator, especially for tech-related websites. kenrockwell.com currently ranks 7656th there, which is a fairly high rank, but there must be hundreds of independent sites that rank higher. Just off the top of my head problogger.net and johnchow.com are both one-man shows and both rank higher.

Do you mean largest independent photography website?
