There's enormous amount of data that come through kayak: website visits, repeat customers, referrals to through-traffic onto airline sites, peak time of day, usage times, identify user with cookies, cross-sell ads on other frequently-traveled sites, understand your buyer persona and target audience. Revenue opportunities for data: Affiliate marketing, sell Ads, referral shares, sell data to airlines for pricing purposes, sell data to advertising companies, etc.

I said that you could use the data to get much better information about advertising effectiveness. If you could do this you could charge very high amounts for advertising through Kayak's platform. I used a more specific example of a business person that travels to same city each week.
