DW's momentum play:

CMGI takes on Doubleclick: After gobbling up a string of Net advertising companies, CMGI CEO David Wetherell says his investment firm is poised to out-earn its biggest ad rival.

Wetherell said CMGI's collection of Web advertising properties will surge past DoubleClick, its New York-based rival, in the next few months.

So far, CMGI has accumulated a basket of advertising properties that includes data-profiling company Engage, and the ad network Adsmart.

"This combination has more revenue than Doubleclick," Wetherell said.

The comment came a few months after CMGI announced its plan to buy and provide advertising service for AltaVista, the Internet search engine that was DoubleClick's largest customer.

CMGI owns a stake in Lycos, parent company of Wired News.
