				Dave's ESL Cafe is pretty huge.
 
I wonder how the lost productivity and brain cells of posters on www.eslcafe.com/forums/korea would be valued. |

Mindboggling when you think how much revenue this site is throwing out the window by not updating the forum and inserting adsense ads (that the new forum software allows). |

				I would really hate ads. I would have expected a higher amount.
 
 
I would stop visiting this site, if I had the will-power. I would like another coffee now. |

				| And the mods on this site still work for free? I wonder how much of that worth comes from the Korean forums. The Korean job ad board must be by far the biggest revenue generator. |

				This result is not even close to true...
 
 
But Dave's is huge and influential  I believe.
 
 
I cant remember for how many time, I was sitting and talking with friends, when some obvious Dave's topics were put on the table...      sometimes I couldnt resist guessing who they might be on Dave's. |

Just don't give yourself away by wearing the panda ears in public.   |

				It has gone up a bit: eslcafe.com Estimated Worth $256135.1 USD
 
 
 
But this is only ad revenue, not the job boards which are worth much  much more.

$75 per ad, 10 ads a day per board, 3 boards = $821,250 gross revenue per annum. This is a very conservative estimate--I'm sure the boards average more than 10 ads a day.
 
 
Not bad, Dave. Not bad. |
