The formula you are using looks correct, but the value estimations are mostly wild-ass guesses, particularly the CTR. My own guess is that CTR for t-shirts would be much lower than traditional online ads, but who knows? Suggestion: create a

I'm surprised this is coming from Spolsky. Spolsky's companies must be getting big. Small companies can often only hire one person at a time and therefore need short acceptance windows. Small companies (< 50 people) often have only one
