Hey vaksel,
I can your point about the PRWeb sales, but the reddit ad pct that I attributed to DDG sponsorship was the percentage above average and we've been advertising on Reddit for a few months now. Also, that was also immediate sales. We have a very good percentage of customers that reorder, especially around the holidays, so the final number will be much higher, probably by a multiple of 3 or 4.
Ignore the reddit and PRWeb based sales, since it's not really correlated with the DDG spend. And you only have 22 sales originated directly from DDG for a total of $550 in sales.
So they lost half their money, and that's before we talk about their costs. And I'm sure they have a much better profit margin than most businesses.
