Entrepreneurs often lose focus when they try to get "more" sales instead of creating sales velocity as I discuss in my post http://nosmokeandmirrors.wordpress.com/2009/09/14/entrepreneur-best-practices-1-more-sales-or-create-sales-velocity/ . It's not about more; it's about acceleration with direction that creates momentum.

The live blogs were referring to a billion <i>pageviews</i>. Which is unfortunately not the same as dollars... :-) Icanhascheezburger says they get about 50 million page views a month. Assuming a $5 CPM (it's probably lower), that kind of traffic would generate around $250k in monthly ad sales. A very nice business to be sure, but far from a billion dollar opportunity.

I'll update should I get something. The number was taken from liveblogging coverage so it's possible there was some context missing. Appreciate you bringing it up.
