Advertising Drives MSNBC.com to First Profit

[rogerd]

It took nine years, but MSNBC.com is finally in the black: MSNBC.com Sees First Quarter of Profits [forbes.com] (Forbes).

This bodes well for advertising driven sites, IMO, and makes quality traffic more valuable. It's back to eyeballs... :)

Yes! I love selling eyeballs. I predict the resurgence of the punch-the-monkey banner.

I loved trying to hit that monkey....so much so i wrote a script to do it ;)
