Fairfax Digital includes both Australian and New Zealand operations. In the New Zealand market, TradeMe is by far the lion's share. The ROCI (return on cash invested) of purchasing that business is extremely positive, well above the business case that justified its acquisition and one that any VC would be paying out big bonuses for. We thank you Mr. Kirk! Your facts on Australia aren't up to date. Fairfax Digital Australia makes the majority of its revenues from transactions not advertising (excluding classifieds). We have been actively diversifying away from advertising as a primary business model and into hybrid revenue streams since 2005. In answer to your questions Marcel and Man, we are operating 15 different types of transactional revenue streams that are each over $1m in revenue. The range is broad, but it includes people paying to contact others on our dating site, RSVP, holiday property owners paying us commission whenever someone stays at their property when booked through our Stayz site, trailing commissions on investments made through our InvestSMART site, payment by consumers for property data through our HomePriceGuide site. Our model is to aggregate an audience around an area of interest by providing them deep, quality content, then looking for multiple ways to generate revenues from that audience sector. Edward, you are right, we have suffered from "the Innovators Dilemna" and aren't the leaders in the 3 digital classified streams (cars, jobs, houses) in Australia (wouldn't that be nice!), but our classified sites are world class, are well trafficked and, in some cases, lead the national competitors if you just look at NSW and Victorian state numbers (obviously we get a kick from our metro newspapers in these markets). Nevertheless, our digital classifieds do make significant profits and are growing (and we have a few tricks still up our sleeves..). As for your comment on 'taking demographics down market' I beg to differ. Roy Morgan Research data tells us that online readers of our masthead sites are younger and, actually, slightly more affluent than the readers of our metro newspapers. Both are higher demographics than our respective online and print competitors.
