We saw that
small companies seem to react more 'sensible' in times of economic recession. Now
PubMatic shows us, that smaller website publishers can get from their clients four and more times the CPM than larger Websites (
o.k. it is not about small, but about dedication, participation and performance) and there is more to come in favor of 'small' ... specially if small is networked. Maybe there is a mistake in this graph - if not, large website just 'don't get it' ... (see the abnormal fall in April '08)
A small website is difficult to plan and difficult to sell, but it delivers all advertisers want and need - so they are happy to pay for what they get.

AdPriceIndex of PubMatic for the last 3 months
On average Web site monetization dropped by 23 percent from March to April 2008 and small website increased by 9,3 % to a level of more than four times of average monetization
