Cnet interviews John Battelle of Federated Media.
Quoted: We want it at the kinds of CPMs that supported the magazine and the cable industry, which is above $20, $30, $40, $50 cost per thousand. Advertisers will pay that once they feel like they're getting that value for it, and once the media is created that proves that value, and it's not just the publisher's job to create that media, it's the publishers working in partnership with the marketers and that what we try to do it with them.

Blodget is laying out a scenario he says could potentially "kneecap" Google's stock. This is the analyst who became infamous for calling a $400 stock price on Amazon. If I remember correctly, he called it as his 12-month target and the stock hit it within the next several weeks. Anyways, here Blodget is more reticent. He's not saying that this "will" happen, only that it's something to be wary of. There are actually some pretty smart comments as counterpoint on this though. Look in the comments at what gojomo, Jeff D, and Dean have written.

I finished reading this last night and I am very happy to recommend it to anyone working in the technology space. Even though "Search" does feel like a thinly-disguised attempt to kiss Google's boots at moments, and Google does receive a large degree of the overall use case documentation, it ends up being a fairly balanced treatment of all the players in the search space, capturing the snapshot of the present perfectly. Of particular interest to any young entrepreneur wanting to cut their teeth in the search space is the last chapter, entitled "Perfect Search." Read this if you want to understand where the technology of search has hit and missed, creating and rescinding fortunes in a very short timeframe. Read this if you want an idea of where search is going and how you might want to contribute.
