    The latest documents filed at the companies office show that DAFT bought 8.8% of boards.ie for 224,750. I don't know much about this stuff but that looks like boards.ie is now worth 2.5 million on paper at least. Well done to all!

    The valuation isnt a value of what its doing today. It has factored in the growth graphs and also if Daft can help us move the company on, it may well be worth a lot more.
    Google after all, is just a simple search engine and doesnt even use banner ads on their site nor popups nor ANYTHING. :)
    There are better business models out there, it just takes a bit of creative thinking. Most companies simply abuse their customers because they can't be arsed doing that thinking.

    I refuse to believe that these exist, and if they do that business people call them this with a serious face. I'm cracking up just thinking about saying it in a business environment...

    (€250000 / 10 years) / 5 people == €5,000 a year each.

    There are easier ways of earning that. :)

    Quite simple really. Look how many people use this site ever day/week/month. See the adverts at the top/bottom of every single page ? Thats the bulk of the income this site makes through direct payment or google.
