[...] The video is the perfect representation of who Fabrice Grinda is and what his vision is for OLX.com both Internationally and in the United States. As a bonus, Fabrice is a bit bombastic, so he talks cold turkey about what it is like to do business in France, his home, versus in the United States; how simple-minded we indeed are as human creatures, and how much risk and suffering one really must go through to become an overnight success. Enjoy! Via the Fabrice Grinda Blog. [...]

Our eCPMs are still much lower in developing world than in the US. However, I do expect them to converge over time (the next 5-15 years) as GDP / capita increases in those countries, as marketing as a % of GDP increases and as online marketing increases as a % of overall marketing.

yes you mentioned about the high CTR, but previously you mentioned that eCPMs US were great but around the globe were not so good, so I wanted to ask whether globally you were seeing higher ecpms now or has the sheer volume of global impressions just increased your run rate?

Mike:

Our eCPM is high because people coming to a classified site are looking for something so the CTR is high. Combine that with the high value of the categories – real estate, vehicles, merchandis sale and jobs – which lead to a high CPC and we get a reasonably high eCPM. The high traffic does not hurt either :)

wow, 10MM run rate , impressive. Would you say it is because eCPMs have gone up as you focused on higher value areas or just because of the increase in sheer volumes of impressions ?

Anyhow, excellent interview !!
