I know there's a reason (traditional ad rates, etc.) - but I don't understand the disparity between online and television advertising rates.
If anything online advertising would seem to be significantly more powerful since you can build customized profiles about the viewers (vs. only having a Nielsen chips in every so many households) and broad TV show audiences.
- girvo 13y agoThat's exactly why it's less "valuable" online. The fact that analytics tell you exactly how much value you get from it is the problem. Compare that to TV: you only have bullshit statistics that are honestly crap, but the allure and history is more important. Compare startups with no revenue getting bought or valued for far more than startups that do. Same concept.
