I have a hard time believing OnceUponAWin will be as popular as the network's flagship blog about lolcats or FAIL Blog, a favorite around the TechCrunch office. But it's a solid addition to the network, and will only further boost Cheezburger Network traffic, which has been growing at a steady clip. From September to October the site saw a 19% increase in the number of unique visitors and a total of 128.3 million page views. ]]>

Cheezburger Network, the company behind I Can Has Cheezburger and a number of other humorous blogs, has unveiled the newest addition to its popular blog network: OnceUponAWin, a site dedicated to finding and posting nostalgic photos and videos from your childhood.

I have a hard time believing OnceUponAWin will be as popular as the network’s flagship blog about lolcats or FAIL Blog, a favorite around the TechCrunch office. But it’s a solid addition to the network, and will only further boost Cheezburger Network traffic, which has been growing at a steady clip. From September to October the site saw a 19% increase in the number of unique visitors and a total of 128.3 million page views.

Other blogs in the network include IHasAHotDog and EngrishFunny, which launched in August.

Users send in photos of poorly translated or written products, signs, instructions, etc. to the site.

This is the seventh website for parent company Pet Holdings, Inc., which bought the ICanHasCheezburger site in late 2007 for $2 million. Other sites include Ihasahotdog (dogs), Failblog (my personal favorite), Totallylookslike (celebrities), Punditkitchen (politics) and Graphjam.

I sat down with founder Ben Huh today to talk about the new site and how the company is doing in general. The family of sites is generating 3.3 million daily page views, and around 5 million unique monthly visitors. Total revenue per page is north of $0.80, he says. Watch the full interview below.
