The figures were shared tonight at a Seattle event called The Naked Truth 2009, which is discussing revenue models for consumer Internet startups. The four presenting startups are Redfin, UrbanSpoon, Picnik and Animoto. While I wasn’t able to make it, TechCrunch, which is in attendance tonight, has the slides here. More numbers from UrbanSpoon after the jump…
UrbanSpoon highlights:
—Traffic: 74 percent of UrbanSpoon’s traffic comes from Google (NSDQ: GOOG), while 99 percent of its mobile traffic occurs on the iPhone.
— Revenue per 100,000 visitors: Web is $2,000 and Mobile is $5,000.
