Traditional advertising doesn't work like it used to and advertising dollars have been shifting online for years.....which, of course, paved the way for ILS services like mynewplace in the first place. Even Google started as a service with no revenue model. Now, they make about $50 per year per visitor. If you control the traffic, you control the conversation. If management knows what it is doing, the money will follow.
