That's a magnificent $0.65 a blog...per year...in gross revenue.
- webwright 15y agoThey are still trading revenue for growth... For consumer companies, that's a pretty well trodden path. There's value creation and value extraction. I can say, knowing some folks at WordPress, that they've been utterly focused on value creation since the get-go (makes sense given that they doubled the # of blogs they host in the past year). As the article states, they just hired a CFO and a general counsel. Money quote (literally): "West will be in charge of all things financial and operational. “When you see this much usage, you know there’s an extraordinary revenue opportunity,” he told me."
- zaidf 15y agoSilly semantics. You could also see it as a magnificent $0.65 per page. After all, a blog is just a dynamic page outputting database records, right?
- huggyface 15y agoYou could also see it as a magnificent $0.65 per page. Well...no. Not at all. It isn't semantics at all, anymore than saying that The McClatchy Company operates 30 newspapers. Further the other comment opines that they're focused on growth. That seems incredible given that the blogging industry is on decline.
