The Success of Kayak.com
- fallentimes 18y agoInteresting article; I actually thought Kayak received pay per click, leads AND commissions in various forms depending on the airline. This is a good one too: http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/05/23/mobissimo-has-1223-the-capital-of-kayak-and-out-executes-them/ http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/05/23/mobissimo-has-1223-the-... Some of Mobissimo's main problems are that their name is forgettable and their home page isn't near as slick as Kayak's.
