It looks like newsday has other issues (pun not intended) besides a very lousy conversion rate.<p>If they make it to next year without going bust or being sold again it would highly surprise me.<p>Their only saving grace is that they actually provided the figure.<p>I can't make the numbers work though, 35 subscribers for $20 / month since october works out to 140*$20 maximum, which is a lot less than the $9000 quoted in the article.
