I "love" how blogs are unable to make the distinction between facts and wild guesses.
Quote from the original article (http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=524698):
"Just as a thought experiment, Edelman estimated that if each typosquatting site earns $25 from Google each year, Google would might charge advertisers between $32 and $50 per year to place ads on just one of these sites. “With a million domains, that would be 32 to 50 million dollars of gross revenue for Google,” Edelman said."
Title of the blog post that quotes the article:
"Harvard Prof: Google earns "$32-$50 million" annually from typosquatting websites". |
And the best thing : this Harvard teacher is also one of the people suing Google about that.... |
Yes Ionut, I modified the article to clarify the name of the school |
The professor doesn't say that Google earns $32-$50 million from AdSense for Domains. "Just as a thought experiment, Edelman estimated that if each typosquatting site earns $25 from Google each year, Google would might charge advertisers between $32 and $50 per year to place ads on just one of these sites."
"Just as a thought experiment"
"estimated"
"if each typosquatting site"
"Google might charge"
That's just like saying: if Google makes on average $0.35 for each click from Google search and if the average CTR is 20% and the average number of searches is 10 billion a month, then Google earns $700 million a month. |
Not sure if that has to do with "blogs" though as you say?
However, The Industry Standard is still in Beta, the logo says ;)
