I'm considering outsourcing some development work on a revenue share basis. I've got an excel spreadsheet setup to determine the outcome given a set of variables;

-projected increase in CPM
-projected increase in traffic (pageviews)
-% revenue share to developer
-contract length in months

So what Im trying to figure out now is how to determine what an appropriate rev share % and length of contract based on a variety of scenarios in changes in traffic and cpm.

I've been staring at this thing all day and its basically just confusing me even more and more. Is there anyone out there that is a math genius that can do financial models well?

Thanks!

Looks like you're after the holy grail there. ;)

Similar models are often projected to determine the effect of advertising, and most fail because in the end, you're trying make bottom line projections based on theoretical numbers.

Are you trying to 'sell' them the idea that in a few months, their share of the revenue will pay for the incurred fee's for development?

Are they suppose to share the cost of CPM?

I don't wanna pry to hard, but we may need some extra details.... of course, it's late as hell, and I'm passing out just sitting here....
