Gizmodo is reporting that a Harvard Professor has concluded that the iPhone generated $400 million plus in free advertising for Apple.This Harvard professor also notes that it is an unprecedented product launch. He even hints that it may be the biggest in history.
I have to agree. The other factor here is the advertising dollar it generated for web sites that reported on it. My November-January totals were way up - to an astounding above average $36 per month through my affilaite links and Google ADsense!
If they would reveal the statistics I would love to see what the major Mac Blogs and news sites generated because of the buzz as well.
If I were to take a guess ... I would bet MacRumors traffic/advertising/revenue were up for the November-January quarter 500% or greater. Just a guess.
