>> The combined revenue for 2007 is expected to be $340 million.
i.e.
p.e. =
USD 500 million / USD 340 million =
500 / 340 =
5 / 3.4 =
‘the sales price is even far from 2 times of ‘the yearly revenue

A lot of these sites probably payout a large portion of their revenue in commission checks to get the members.

I did not refer to any “hidden payment” I was just making reference that many dating sites have very large affiliate programs which payout substantial amounts to acquire members. So although they generate $500 million in revenue we don’t know how much of that is spent in payments to affiliates or in PPC advertising. Since they are a private company we can’t see the numbers so we are just guessing in the dark
