Some good figures have emerged on revenue generation for Linden Labs’s Second Life via Rafat Ali’s PaidContent.

Land rental rates are $20 per acre and $195 per month. Land mass is apparently growing at 8% a month and currently stands at 60,000 acres.

Brands account for five percent of real estate sales. 

Second Life’s parallel economy is pulling $500,000 a day and growth is 15% monthly.

Nice stuff!
