I guess the title to this post was a little misleading in that it's not surprising for an ad network to have income. I guess for me it's nice to see those companies that are focusing on revenue generating activities.</p>Nick O'NeillWed, 20 Aug 2008 11:05:25 -0000http://www.adweek.com/socialtimes/lotame-grabs-13-million-generates-revenue/1749#comment-1699524<p>Don't all advertising based web start-ups generate revenue? You just need one person to pay you just $1 for advertising to generate revenue. My only question is, are they profitable?</p><p>Traditionally these *new* advertising platforms only make a name for themselves of any interest to anyone by offering ridiculously low rates to the advertisers with unusually high payouts -- obviously not a sustainable model; didn't work for Yahoo vs. Google AdSense.</p><p>But it is great to hear them raising 13 million -- they will go a long way for that business model; allowing them to continue to operate profitless at a high cost of operation. </p>Martin RingleinWed, 20 Aug 2008 10:46:07 -0000
