About About

About (formerly About.com) was a digital media company and online content platform founded in 1996 as The Mining Company. The website provided users with informational articles and how-to guides across thousands of topics, written and maintained by subject matter experts called “Guides.” In 2005, The New York Times Company acquired About.com for $410 million. In 2012, IAC purchased the platform for $300 million. The site underwent several major changes throughout its history, including a significant rebranding in 2017 when About.com was dissolved and split into several vertical-specific websites under the Dotdash brand (formerly About Group). The platform’s content model relied on a network of freelance experts who created and maintained topic-specific content. At its peak, About.com hosted over 3 million articles across diverse categories including health, technology, money, lifestyle, and education. The site employed a revenue model primarily based on advertising, utilizing contextual advertising and sponsored content. In 2017, About.com ceased to exist as a single entity, with its content distributed across several specialized websites including Verywell (health), The Balance (personal finance), Lifewire (technology), and ThoughtCo (education). The company that emerged from this transformation, Dotdash, was later acquired by Meredith Corporation in 2021, forming Dotdash Meredith.
