Lately Facebook is ramping up for an IPO and generating revenue will be key to Facebook's ability to reach values in the tens of billions, putting it in the company of giants such as eBay, Google, and Yahoo!.

ABottom of Form report from Second Market, an online marketplace that trades liquid, restricted, and privately run assets, gave the privately held social-networking giant a value of $41 billion. eBay has a market capitalization of $39.3 billion and is one of the largest Web retailers in the United States. Google's market capitalization now stands at $186 billion. Yahoo! is valued at $21 billion.

So, why web-based companies market capitalization is so humongous??

Revenue generation is more

idea posted by Amrita Animation/Graphic Artist, Creative design

If I remember properly in 2004, Google went public at $85 per share. And lastly when I checked, Google's stock was trading at $583.72. Yahoo!'s stock debuted at $24.50 per share back in 1996 and would reach heights of a little more than $100 per share in the early part of last decade. Currently, it's trading at $16.24.

I think it's all based off mindshare and traffic. They need to figure out how to make money and look at the overall market, and probably capture a certain percent of display revenue and advertising revenue. A 30- to 50-billion-dollar valuation eventually is not out of the realm of possibility.  So web-based co's have a lot of revenue generation streams once there is a good number of user base with them. One can easily monetize it.

Future is where web is there

I think the future is dependent on web so much so that every entrepreneur wants to go online with his venture, as one can reach so many people online and then one can easily monetize the database which they have, and its a smart move and if it clicks it can be the next google or the next facebook, thats why we are seeing the market capitalization for these web based co's being so huge.
