Vertical Ad Network + Vertical Search = More$

I’ve been reading a series of interview posts with vertical Travel Ad Network CEO Cree Lawson on Sramana Mitra’s blog (part 1, part 2 & part 3) and this got me thinking about vertical search + vertical ad networks (see RWW or my link here). Even in a downward economic cycle I can see many lucrative online verticals. Take vertical serach and ad networks, plus good domain development, plus open source web 2.0 tools and micro-publishing online in general  – add all this up and you’re got a powerful  recipe for success… I guess it might be time to start that side “viking” project in all my spare time.
