4. 2. Advertising Model
The web advertising model is an
extension of the traditional media
broadcast model. The broadcaster, in
this case, a web site, provides content
and services mixed with advertising
messages in the form of banner ads.
The banner ads may be the major or
sole source of revenue for the
broadcaster. The broadcaster may be a
content creator or a distributor of
content created elsewhere. The
advertising model works best when the
volume of viewer traffic is large or
highly specialized.

7. 5. Manufacturer Model
The manufacturer or "direct
model", it is predicated on the
power of the web to allow a
manufacturer (i.e., a company that

reach buyers directly and thereby
compress the distribution channel.
The manufacturer model can be
based on efficiency, improved
customer service, and a better
understanding of customer
preferences.

8. 6. Affiliate Model
The affiliate model, provides purchase
opportunities wherever people may be
surfing. It does this by offering financial
incentives (in the form of a percentage of
revenue) to affiliated partner sites. The
affiliates provide purchase-point click-
through to the merchant. It is a pay-for-
performance model -- if an affiliate does
not generate sales, it represents no cost to
the merchant. The affiliate model is
inherently well-suited to the web, which
explains its popularity. Variations
include, banner exchange, pay-per-click,
and revenue sharing programs.

based on user loyalty. Users have a high
investment in both time and emotion.
Revenue can be based on the sale of
ancillary products and services or
voluntary contributions; or revenue may
be tied to contextual advertising and
subscriptions for premium services. The
Internet is inherently suited to
community business models and today
this is one of the more fertile areas of
development, as seen in rise of social
networking.

daily, monthly or annual -- fee to
subscribe to a service. It is not

content. Subscription fees are

usage rates. Subscription and

combined.

11. 9. Utility Model
The utility or "on-demand" model is
based on metering usage, or a "pay as
you go" approach. Unlike subscriber
services, metered services are based on
actual usage rates. Traditionally,
metering has been used for essential
services (e.g., electricity water, long-
distance telephone services). Internet
service providers (ISPs) in some parts
of the world operate as utilities,
charging customers for connection
minutes, as opposed to the subscriber
model common in the U.S.
