I wonder how much money in ads Google earns on each user. Or, phrased differently, I wonder how much I'd have to pay google each year to make it worth their while to treat me as the customer, rather than the product that they are selling? If it's on the order of $36/year, or a dime a day, it would be so well worth it to me, because they are in a position to make an incredibly awesome product. As such, I wouldn't see ads in any of the google services, unless I specifically wanted to see ads on a particular topic. Plus, they would be optimizing the experience for the user, rather than the advertiser.
Unfortunately, I suspect that the amount that the vast majority of users would be willing to pay for this would be very close to zero. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
