I don’t know what the hell goes on at their offices, does anyone work there? Do they all just sit around and make new 1996 looking graphics? Get creative, I mean come on, 24.com is killing you right now! Maybe they’ve slumped a bit after today, since they’ve been down, but they’re still much better than you!

Thats also just one banner. What about all the other forms of advertising, not to mention affiliate sales etc. The numbers can get pretty big! Then theres the reporters you are paying, and eventually when their news eventually gets onto the site, its "history"... and no-one wants to read "old" news. 24.com have also been affected, but to a lesser extent.

So they're loosing big time while they're down. I know a 468 x 60 banner is 22c per impression.. lets say they make 10 000 impressions per hour. Thats R2 000 an hour on that banner. I know they probably make a lot more impressions than that but still R2 000 an hour adds up to somebodies salary at the end of the month.. They charge mainly for impression on advertising.
