monthly uniques is 10x in 3 years, but revenue is only 5x. so that means that prices have been cut in half for their inventory in 3 yrs, or about 20% price decline per year.

looks like a race to the bottom to me.

does it not say confidential on the ppt? its mind boggling what gets shared and published with no fear. Such disregard. Unbelievable. And yes timing seems way too funky with Jason’s post etc. Its almost a rythm thing, every quarter you do me, i will do you.

Yeah that’s the whole point. It was created after, and thus probably shouldn’t be included in the analysis. Great job catching the obvious TechCrunch

comScore does not treat the Blogsmith blogs very well so the reported numbers are actually a fraction of the actual PVs and uniques seen at Weblogs. that is what really accounts for the revenue discrepancy posited above because internal stats more accurately convey to advertisers the real impressions they’re getting, as much as 200% higher than what the comScore stats show in some cases and over 100% in most.

I believe you are off by a factor of 10.

81M Monthly PVs * 12 Months / 1000= 972,000 CPM units
$30,000,000/972,000=$30 CPM

I’m very impressed if they are getting a $30 CPM for 81M monthly PVs.
