With 100 million users, that makes it $90 per user. That looks a big number, but consider the cost of recruitment of a single position and look at the value of a validated network of 100 million professionals. I am sure each position filled in by recruiters would be worth a lot more.

+ Ad revenue. + Their paid plans average $30 a month.

I would not short them yet.

I would place more value on the potential of their corporate solutions, hence price raising on recruiter-styled plans (done in 2010) to drive out the third-party companies / individuals. Though, a "successful" recruiter / shouldn't blink at $74.95 / month(25 InMails). $399.95 / month (50 InMails) is a bit more steep.
