That's a 1:3.7 ratio. It's not bad, however we do have much in store. By the end of the year the picture of what we do would get much clearer, giving you a...

A look inside Demand Media's automated content machine.

I am sorry to those who have tried to post a comment on DotWeekly.com today or last night and it didn't work.
