I don't know about the "one-off" part of it; he keeps coming back here.

I've always figured the sole purpose of Jeff's sites to be getting
viewers to click on his Google ads. They're always the most prominent
feature of his pages and the actual "content" (which invariably comes
from elsewhere) doesn't measure up in interestingness to make anyone
want to visit.
