As it happens, I have a pretty good handle on how much revenue is generated as a result of the traffic flow for my blog. This is what I do for a living. Unlike Enron, I don't have someone else providing the funds that pay my bills every month - if I don't watch where the money comes from and where the money goes, I'm out on the street. Rogers,

That's Enron accounting. I've been linked several times from Digg, which sends significantly more traffic than any Weblogs Inc. property, and it's not a big moneymaker. If you compared the actual dollars BlogAds pays out to bloggers and Calacanis paid out to bloggers at Weblogs Inc., it wouldn't even be close. It's Michael Jordan vs. Set Shot from The Fish Who Saved Pittsburgh, and Calacanis ain't the one flying over the lane for a thunderous dunk with his tongue out. “Aside from whatever advertising dollars were generated directly on Weblogs, Inc. sites like Engadget, Autoblog, Joystiq, etc., the sites all indirectly contribute to the bottom line of hundreds (maybe thousands) of bloggers like me who get linked to by Weblogs, Inc. sites when we say something interesting …”

I think you're right about the Phil Jackson comment... well played. :-) seriously, comparing an ad network to a blog publisher is apples and orchards. i know when i was running the company we paid millions to bloggers a year... can't speak for what they are doing now. i'm sure henry is making a couple of million for bloggers as well. best j well.. it was a joke after all!
