William.

I have gained a great deal of respect for your overall knowledge and in particular your knowledge of advertising.

I found an article this a.m. describing how Amazon has just completed partnerships with 30,000 web sites.

cbs.marketwatch.com

These partnerships work as follows: Web site puts the Amazon link on their site and if sales are completed from that link, Amazon pays them 15% commission of the sale.

This eliminates any advertising revenue from the 30,000 sites from Amazon and Amazon only pays when a sale is made. I have no clue if YHOO is one of the 30,000.

Questions: Do you think this idea will spread? Will this impact Ad revenue for Yahoo/AOL?

This will not IMO impact revenue in the short term. My interest is in the 2-3 year window
