Even Gawker charges $30 bucks for a 30 day posting. I have to agree with Matt…$200 for a 30 day posting on such a young site is not something that’s easily justifiable to your Accounting Department.

Maybe its just me but im not paying $200 til i am confident the job board is getting the kind of traffic that makes it worth it. This is why sites like Monster and Jobster can justify the price. Im sure you will eventualy get there, but im not funding the experiment to see if it does. Wouldnt the spam problem be solved by a nominal $5 fee? $200 is more expensive then most job boards.

A no brainer. However charging for it, right from the get go, was a gigantic strategic mistake. Job boards are classic chicken or the egg models, and therefore getting critical mass is key. Since this job boad is not your only gig why the rush to make a buck? Let the thing grow a little, and then charge. If it was free youd have 100X the postings rigth now (my company included).

This week, he released CrunchBoard, taking a stab at the niche job market. I thought the site was quite good, though lacking in search, and has a lot of potential. But watching Michael has me wondering if he is the Google of Web 2.0. There is no negative connotation behind that, as I have similar respect for what Google has been able to do - essentially reinvigorating the Ajax space and making developers think about the web in whole new ways. I think Arrington is doing something similar with Web 2.0. He’s monetized it just as Google was able to do with Search, but he’s taken it a step further by adding properties, hiring a staff, and pushing the envelope of what a web site is.
