I'm not sure of the exact numbers but I would guess that teens make up a fairly large segment of the people that spend large amounts of leisure time on the web. From that standpoint they can be profitable if you use things like standard CPM ads, but not CPC or any ecommerce. It's an important segment, but more for building future loyalty - I guess it should be part but not all of your strategy, but I'd say the same for other businesses as well. I think sites like LinkedIn prove that you can't grow as much if you limit yourself to the professional segment. I disagree somewhat.

There's more money else where. I think they should be spending more money from other business ventures. milking money from teens ? come on. There’s more money else where.
