Google's First Hubristic Leap: Competing With the Internet [view article]
Don't know why you think "This is terribly dangerous for Google". As you say it's competing with other sites out there like about.com, etc. It's not breaking any new ground, and it's not in any way competing with their search business.This is just another one of dozens of content ideas cooked up by their engineers. Maybe it will pay off maybe it won't. It won't even be a blip on their earnings if it fails, and it probably won't add more than a fraction of a percent if it succeeds. A big yawn-fest if you ask me.

I can't help but wonder if Internap isn't ripe for a buy-out because their stock has tanked and they are losing customers left and right since the bought VitalStream for $217 million - an amazing 8 times the projected value. Internap's problem isn't their network, it's their customer service. If someone as efficient as Google bought them, they could easily do a better job managing this valuable asset. ReplyJackson
Key Datapoints on Internet Advertising and Content from The New York Times Co. [view article]
billsoldest, thanks for reminding me that this contains a lot of jargon!Content vertical = A section of a website devoted to a particular topic. That allows you to target advertisers relevant to that topic.
CPM = Price per thousand ad impressions. That's the standard way of quoting prices for Internet banner ads. (Google text ads, in contrast, are "price per click", namely the advertiser pays a fixed price per click on the ad.)
Cannibalization (in this context) means that although the price of remnant ad inventory (ie. the price of ads on undifferentiated pages that haven't been sold by the companies direct sales force) has fallen, that hasn't impacted the price the company is getting for the banner ads in premium slots.
Hope that helps. Reply

No other tech firm should be concerned with Google other than in search because Google is that one trick pony.Nothing else has generated any measurable revenue for Google than search.
The problem for Google is they are terrible at marketing and even worse in customer service. Reply
