This reminds me of a client I had a long time ago who sold silane gas, which is the byproduct of making metallurgical grade silicon. It is a byproduct of semiconductor production (among other things) and very scary to store because it combu

HuffPo, and I said it was steep not what people should expect to get. Huffington Post, a media company, was purchased by AOL for $315M @ $30M rev. That's 10x. Stop trolling.

I should probably point out I am talking about Revenue per Impression, what the publisher earns. The advertiser may pay $.50 - $1 CPM to be shown on the impression, but it is possible for the publisher to show multiple ad units on the same

That might have been the case 2 years ago, but it isn't anymore. 70M uniques is a huge portion of the U.S. population, they're doing more traffic than Fox News (which has a huge influence on another huge Internet population).

I didn't say they don't exist, what I am saying is that unfortunately very few have achieved broad adoption or brand recognition, so the revenue first mindset may not be serving them as well as the first commenter would lead you to believe.
