- Last week at an SAI/Founder’s Club Event, Gawker Media head Nick Denton spoke about the crash and burn of internet advertising rates coming next year.
- He is quoted as saying, “All of them should be terrified. Anyone who isn’t prepared for ads to go down 40 percent is crazy.”
- This is not the dotcom crash of 2000. There are too many internet companies out there now hoping for this to be true so they can become the next LowerMyBills.com. For those that don’t know, LowerMyBills was started by now legendary Matt Coffin, and it was the lead generation company that came in and snatched up online ads at unbelieveably low rates after the dotcom crash. They were paying such low amounts for their conversions that they ended up becoming increadibly profitable and sold to Experian for $330M in 2005. Too many companies are entrenched in their search ad positioning, not to mention the amount of search arbitrage, lead gen, competitive startups, and other kinds of companies that are willing to pay the price they are right now as opposed to droppig out of the game. Certain ad networks with weak target markets may have to break some bad news to their publishers, but the majority of the online ad space will stay pumping. 40% is ludicrous. But, I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
