<<This is a no-brainer since the businesses you mentioned are Web-based. They also advertise in other media such as print and TV. Can you really tell the incremental effect of Internet advertising? I will accede your point about the effectiveness of Internet advertising if say GM sells more cars because of Internet ads or Anheuser-Busch sells more beer or Phillip-Morris sells more cigarettes!>>

Santhosh, you raise a good point!

The Web-based companies got an immediate boost in new companies by vigorously pursuing internet advertising. If you've been following Mr. Gates, there is a big push to move vending and other commerce on the internet. Look at DELL and Amazon.com. In the next few years I think most companies will be web based. This will move more business towards Yahoo!.
