The former owners of one of the most highly trafficked websites in the world,
ModelMayhem.com, filed a federal lawsuit April 23, 2010 in United States
District Court, Central District of California, claiming that Internet Brands, Inc.,
which bought the website from them in May 2008, has failed to fulfill the terms
of the written Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement.

Lisa,

IB bought ApartmentRatings.com from me in 2007. We fit the model of a site without investors, husband and wife team, very niche, focus, all that. But I think the other really key element is that we got our traffic (about 100M PVyr back then if I recall) from organic SEO and we monetized via Adsense.

Wish I could have seen the magic tricks. That sounds, um, confusing.

Search represents 55 percent of the Internet valuation, followed by Commerce (20 percent), Content (15 percent), Social Media (5 percent), Everything Else (5 percent).

About 56 percent of all Internet visits are to pages dominated by user generated content. The money is flowing where there is commercial intent around the content.

Color me confused. 15 percent is “content” yet it all revolvesd around content? I should have attended.
