Their traffic levels, at this point, are fairly low compared to others in the space. We've also done some similar analysis at Shopatron, looking at how consumer brands can build brand and drive sales using the social shopping space.

Anybody can buy traffic from Google now and Like.com is no exception. You really want to compare revenues: ask Like and ThinkNext to reveal Gross Revenues (Revenue - CPC costs paid to Google). Google reports something like this in their financials. They call it "traffic acquisition costs". All Web 2.0 companies should be reporting this if they want to be truthful about revenues. JP Matt,
