  1. “but not well commented on, because there is not much to say about them. they are neato.

    on the other hand, a WHAT rant posted to any of MM’s threads, the comment count could easily go into the hundreds.”

    Gotta admit, you’re right about that.

    In addition to “clicks,” another part of the model is ad revenue. Does the advertiser realize sales as a result of posting his ad? This variable is easier to track in the electronic age because people can buy directly online. You can never be too sure with a print magazine ad, for example.

    The thus question for Mr. B’s increased profitability is are the regular “clickers” actually BUYING things seen in Brownstoner ads. Ask yourselves that question.

  2. Loser’s Lounge was a bar I was going to open for those who could never quite capture the QOTD. At that time I was a member of the Lounge.

    DIBS, on the other hand, is still a member 😛

  3. My two cents, Mr B saw an under-served marketplace and decided to capitalize. Good for him. Between Flea and Blog I think he’s done a fair amount in 5 years. Took a chance with his cash and created the Flea, which is successful, though not my cup of tea.

    How many resturants are around 5 years later?

  4. What was Loser’s Lounge, Benson? Sounds intriguing. I feel like a cocktail already.

    Happy Birthday Jackal.

    How can you tell OT clicks, Cobble? It wasn’t clear from the traffic icon on the bottom of the screen.
