They sell ads for 35CPM and then pay bloggers on clickthrough. As Nick Denton pointed out the blogs ARE Glam so it is a a damn shame they treat fine blogs so badly. Without them they are nothing. Trust me, 9rules should stay as far away from Glam as possible. If Glam gets lucky Cathy Black at Hearst might drop 300 million on them but unless they stop lying about their traffic I have my doubts. Actually they hardly share the love.

I can see an angel investment or a few million for a media company, but $30 million?!?! In case their investors haven't noticed, there aren't too many $100+ million media company exits these days unless we're talking the LA Times, Forbes magazine, or other publication houses of that caliber. A $150 million valuation needs an exit of some high multiplier on that and I just don't see it happening no matter how big Glam gets. Thanks a lot for the 9rules plug too, somebody over at TechCrunch brought us up in the comments as well. Maybe Glam will buy us ;) ;) I’m just as astonished as you Duncan, in fact I left a comment at VentureBeat about it (my first one ever I think) because the total amount of capital they’ve raised is $30 million.
