www. AskMen. com the leader in online men's lifestyle content, and www. HowStuffWorks. com, one of the Web's most popular editorial reference sites, have been successfully exchanging links to content that resonates with each site's respective user base.
AskMen. com's articles in men's lifestyle topics such as fitness, entertainment, fashion, and health are made available on HowStuffWorks. com, providing varied and opinioned content to accompany HowStuffWorks' award-winning articles on how just about anything works. In turn, AskMen. com's audience benefits from access to the wealth of information available at HowStuffWorks. com. The two sites' union was recently exemplified as part of a recent special section devoted to the upcoming "Star Wars Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith" movie. By featuring "Star Wars"-related articles from HowStuffWorks. com directly alongside AskMen. com's own content, readers at both sites were provided with varying styles of writing, that when combined, offered a more complete user experience.
"Being able to provide HowStuffWorks' straightforward and engaging content on AskMen. com is a fantastic bonus for our readers," said Chris Rovny, AskMen. comÂ’s VP of Marketing, "and teaming up with them on our recent Star Wars feature proved what a great content partner they really are. Providing quality content to our predominantly male audience is our top priority, and HowStuffWorks certainly delivers in that regard."
HowStuffWorks also anticipates that the partnership will be a fruitful one. "HowStuffWorks exists to provide positive consumer experiences. Over the past six years, we've realized that the only way to do that is by offering consistently good content that is both informative and entertaining. Providing access to AskMen. com content provides our users with a style of writing that, although is markedly different from what HowStuffWorks normally features, ultimately adds to the user experience," said Gabe Vehovsky, VP of Marketing and Business Development at HowStuffWorks.
