Consider the logic of this investment: people get sick regardless of what the economy’s doing, and one of Kosmix’s top sites is RightHealth.  Moreover, a company statement makes known that RightHealth is “the sixth most visited health site on Hitwise and receives over 3.9 million unique visitors a month according to Quantcast.”

Another Kosmix property, RightAutos, might not be so recession-proof – people could visit more mechanics than dealerships if money is tight, making new-car advertisements less profitable.  Still, RightAutos offers news and videos (as opposed to straight-up buyers’ information), so it’s not a bad bet, either.

DAG Ventures, Accel, and Lightspeed are the groups that placed the $10 million wager, by the way.  Accel and Lightspeed have contributed to Kosmix in the past, while DAG is new to the club.
