RED HERRING | Blogs Start Job Boards

 

Greaat ! , so someone other than me finally caught on, oh wait this written by Priya Ganapati, who i guess was with Rediff earlier. Anyway, they're in it for the money as per quote below.

Thanks Alok for the post telling me you're in it to help. Mr. Fried ( curious name) seems to be saying the same thing at the end of the quote..

Quote from article

"Job listings have become a lucrative source of revenue for blogmasters. 37 Signals’ industry job board has generated $100,000 in revenue so far, said Mr. Fried.

 

37 Signals charges $250 for a 30-day listing on its board. Compare that to $75 for a Craigslist job posting. Market leader Monster.com costs $400 a listing, but for a 60-day period.

 

Still, said Mr. Fried, the 37 Signals board offers great value because it helps companies reach the right kind of audience."
