    great talk…thanks for posting

    Yeah, thanks for posting. Love the first slide trading floor picture.

    You talked about direct sales being an upper tier option for publishers, i.e. when they get large enough to warrant it. There are a few startups working on making the direct sales process more accessible to pubs in the middle tier range.

    yeah, ad networks, rep firms, and vertical ad networks are all methods of reaching into those brand dollars – but you'll never see the CPM $ figures that are as high as doing it yourself. So it's good to make that transition smoother, but you still need to build your own sales team once you get to the appropriate size.

    Really good presentation – thanks for sharing. One bit I couldn't get though was exactly how you measure the % of people are just browsing – any thoughts?

    I think this is just a simple business rule – you can count the % of people who browse as people who come into the site and expend more than one page. Then the next step could be whether or not they add an item to cart.
