We are going to try something fun with advertising on Monday, if all goes well, and by then I'll have our little spiel set up to justify such a high CPM value. I'll send in the news then. On Jan 19, 2006, at 10:58 AM, LeanBackVids.com wrote: --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Eric Rice

And TechTV's The Screen Savers had (and still has) a cult following. A big reason Digg.com got so big so fast was because Kevin Rose was the Dark Tipper on the show. Leo, Kevin and Patrick have all moved on sucessfully due to the now-cancelled TV show. Leo is well liked by regular computer

Yeah if you've never had cable or satelite TV or just not a certified geek they you've likely never heard of him either. Although he is on the Canadian version of Call for Help. But no big deal, that just explains why he's doing so well with donations. I think it's great that he can do this with

No, they said that Leo, Kevin and Patrick combined average in one week what the show got in a single day. The part I found most interesting is that Leo does not offer his videos in iTunes because he can't handle the cost. I wonder if that means he doesn't have a feed or if he simply did not

Having made some significant cpm buys (my biggest buy was 40,000,000 impressions over 5 weeks) and having also also created smaller sites and gotten ads onto them, I can comment that $25 is an achievable cpm but is not likely to happen until you've got a targetted, focussed demographic (i.e.

It is all about eyeballs (aka downloads). CPM would then be the cost per thousand downloads. Subscription numbers are not as reliable as the server stat that says a movie has been requested X number of times. -Matt --- http://vlogmap.org http://leanbackvids.com

I'm late to the conversation so here's my .02 worth. For me *personally*, sponsorships and advertising doesn't start with a single medium. Sure, I'll put a product or in rare cases an ad in my vlog, podcast or, more directly-- the feed-- but a medium in isolation, well, that's reaching only a
