that's a really cool company with a really cool story. there was an article in the times or something about them a while back. i was skeptical at first, but what they're doing is really cool.

"At an average cost of $5 per click this adds up to maybe $500 per day in revenue for Google just for this one search. Multiply across 365 days and taking a very conservative guess that this happens across 10,000 different domains gives ove

google has jacked minimum bids through the roof over the last 6 - 12 months. i'm guessing all of your ads are actually inactive right now because your minimum bid is too low and you have a bad "quality score". Their UI is sort of a pain.

bummer. i bet kids love clicking on ads.

being able to serve kid-targeted ads to kids on the web would be awesome. massive click-throughs i bet....and somewhat slimy. even better would be parental control on what ads were served to their kids. give the parents a cut on CPC if t

i agree. this study is similar to Kaplan's horse/jockey analysis: http://www.vcconfidential.com/2006/04/horse_or_jockey.html but both studies ignore the fact that there are massive differences between a good start up CEO and a good publi

yes...that's probably the most confusing part of the article. :)

I see your point, but the title of the article is "Chrysler, Want To Make an Extra 50 Billion?" My point is that if it was written by some dude in a day, it's not going to make anyone $50 billion, especially Chrysler.

by rwebb 19y ago
Thanks. I've read The Goal. My point is that Chrysler itself was recently sold for less than $10 billion. Maybe Cerberus bought because they knew about this code that was written in a day and now they are going to turn them into a $50 bil

not a good article. the "ponzi" theory is good, simply because the advertisers pumping $ into the network haven't gotten proven returns (lots of the FB networks that have venture backing are pumping in their own ad inventory and subsidizin
