I'm working on my final MBA project, which is another useless business plan. Though the plan may be useless, the course is 3 credit hours, which means doing a good job regardless of how I feel about it. The project is a free-to-user ad supported web portal. What I need is a realistic idea of how web ads are priced to the advertiser, and what rates are like. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I can help you find models. What city are you in?

What kind of girls are you looking for? Short/Tall, Blonde/Brunette, ect ... ?

^ Too many jokes...Must not comment...

Inartfully worded, perhaps. I'm just trying to understand the economics of ad-supported websites. Click-through vs. pay-per-impression (or 1000 impressions).

Jet, thanks for the offer. Maybe we will need models if the project takes off. You would be our first choice of photographer.

Herf, keep the jokes coming. We need some humor right about now. The project has been a total drag.

You will find, once you have your MBA, that the vast majority of business plans in the "real world" are just as useless and waste of time. However, they do get one to THINK about what may or may not happen. Unfortunately, there is no way to anticipate all potential pitfalls ......

have fun!

I have two friends that do this kind of stuff for a living one of which is published all over the web about this ****. I find it totally boring. But they are really good at it. One worked at monster.com for a time and a bunch of other startups, took some companies public.
