I got into this early. 5mm pageviews/month is quite a lot of traffic. that's around 1mm visitors. give or take.. depends on the kind of site you make. |
30,000 visitors a day. I think it's safe to say Google would be running a majority of websites for free.. My theory is that the larger sites have an 'API-strategy' where essentially they have sites build themselves into their systems to make acquisition costs lower. Also, because you're using their API's they have an idea of your traffic, etc which will also save money when valuing a web asset. |
Is this like Amazon's Web Services? |
yes, I believe it's exactly like Amazon. Both Amazon and Google are on the same page and both probably have fairly different Developer pools |
