Raises the question if this group is making that much , how much are they making for Google eg 10 Million ? You would expect VIP treatment for this customer , don't you think ? They have also been bought up by AOL , for 25 Million , plenty to Salivate about here !

Its now a case study for Google... but nothing new in it(case study)

Hey, what's not to like here. Inside Google used these numbers to value my own blogging empire at $1M. Ya right! What was AOL thinking?

 

.. a good read indeed.

What interest me is the way they place their ads at Luxist . It's nicely done.

(edited: But strangely they have 7 normal ads plus 1 adlink. Ah! maybe they're one of those super-publisher account owner with special exception)

 

You shouldn't take that blog pricing metric seriously. It was only intended for fun. There's so much more that goes into the pricing.
