[0]David Barrett writes “If you sell three billion ads a month and can’t
break even, what do you do? [1]Drop prices by 40% and switch business
models, apparently. Is this an isolated incident, or does it contribute
to the growing pile of evidence that ad inventory is overpriced
industry-wide, with Google being the worst offender due to its policy of
requiring [2]minimum bids on keywords that would otherwise go for cheap?
[3]Check out this analysis on my blog and make up your own mind.”
