Sergey Rudnyayev, an advertising and PR specialist on the Internet, believes that social networks "have what an advertiser needs - a clear audience loyal to the project (and therefore loyal to the advertised products) and spending considerable time on the site." ')
He is also convinced that many well-known social Internet projects, for example, Habrahabr, will be able to significantly capitalize in the future: “ I don’t want to say that Habrahabr is a resource aimed only at making profit using free“ content cows ” , but, for example, the fact that you cannot delete your account (at least when I tried do), says that the number of registered users (and possibly all user data) will appear in the commercial offer for the investor / advertiser. I hope that this will not be the case. After all, this is prohibited by the law on personal data . "
Another expert, Vladislav Kochetkov , a spokesman for Finam, also highly appreciates the advertising potential of social networks: "The communities formed within their framework represent interesting target groups for advertisers who have already noticeably intensified in this segment." In addition, blogs are a good tool for influencing target audiences. According to Vladislav Kochetkov, "... more than 70% of social network revenues in the future will be revenues from the provision of PR services and sponsorship. In this, for example, Habr has a very good potential.This is a quality product, which, for sure, will be in demand by advertisers. If we talk about Runet, the potential advertising capacity in the blogosphere now we estimate at 30-50 million dollars a year.Another thing is that for various reasons this potential has not yet been realized . ”Moreover, these reasons, he believes, lie to a greater degree outside the Internet.
