Is myspace making billions?
Is myspace making billions?
Myspace gets 30 million page views month and some say myspace charge $0.10 cpm.
Lets go with a low number and say they charge $0.01 cpm.
30,000,000,000 (page views) x $0.01 (cpm) = $300,000,000 (per month)
$300,000,000 x 12 (months) = $3,600,000,000 (year)
So is myspace making $3.6 billion a year?

If those assumptions are true, it would make $3.6 million a year. Your math is wrong.
You have to divide the number of pageviews by one thousand and then multiply the pageviews by the CPM price.
CPM = cost per thousand

lets just assume that is true, then that is not profit, that is just turnover
You need to include their expenditure which would be massive as well assume their servers are all pretty beefy

Okay, some people say they charge $0.10 each, so that's $100 for one thousand. Lets go with a lower number and say they charge $0.01 each, so that's $10 for thousand.
So are they making $3.6 billion a year? |

I doubt they are making 3.6 billion a year. I might even go as far as to say that 3.6 million is over pricing it.

Company revenues not profits are estimated to be around $200 million according to a recent article in the NY Times. You can read the article here . This article is dated April 2006. |

Lets say they charged $0.10 CPM. That means you pay $0.10 for every 1000 page views. So $36 million a year by those assumptions which are probably incorrect.
No one in their right mind would pay $100 CPM or even $10 CPM for advertising on Myspace. |

30,000,000,000 / 1,000 * 0.10 = $3,000,000 (three million)
now is that 30 billion a day, week, month?
