- Andersen Analytics conducted a research breaking down LinkedIn’s members. Apparently they are rich.
- Users with personal incomes between $200,000 and $350,000 were seven times more likely than those below that level to have over 150 LinkedIn connections.
- Nearly 60% of users have incomes of $93,000 or more.
- Executives make up about 28% (average income $104K), 30% are “saavy networkers” (average income $93K), and light or newer users had incomes of $88K or lower
- I personally don’t use LinkedIn anymore. I know my network of people and quite frankly don’t want to show it online nor do I need to. I have all of their e-mail addresses, phone numbers and addresses (yes, we meet offline sometimes). For me, it’s the best way to go about things as someone not in a sales position. It has become downright annoying and it’s losing its core due to large growth. Who is killing it? Recruiters, salespeople, ‘over-connectors’, spammers and neurotic ‘recommend me requests’

- LinkedIn, the social network for the business world, is starting their own ad network.
- They currently command some of the highest ad rates online, charging $30 per thousand impressions on display ads and an average of $15 per thousand impressions on text ads for their own site.
- LinkedIn has 27m members (64% male), averaging 41 years of age and $110,000 in the bank.
- Publishers with a similar user demo can apply to join the network, which says it can generate higher CPM than other networks because of high advertiser relevancy.
- LinkedIn will be able to recognize its own users that visit partner sites and can help target the ads they see based on their current profile information. (They do this for their own site as well)
- LinkedIn is currently valued at $1b.
Could LinkedIn eclipse Facebook as the most valuable social network in the next 5 years?
