Monetizing Non U.S. Traffic


The Wall Street Journal:

For a long time the U.S. dominated overall Internet usage. In the past couple of years this situation has changed.

China passed the U.S. as the country with the most internet users this year.

Top sites like Yahoo, MSN, Facebook and MySpace all have more users internationally than in the US.

Serving an international user costs the same as serving a U.S. user, but making money from an international user is much harder. In 2009, I expect Internet companies to get serious about making money from their international traffic.
