We can support yahoo to increase pageviews by keep clicking www.yahoo.com. I know a friend did that :-) seriously. Gosh this made me laugh... Anyway, the key is there are many unsold spaces.

re: "Pageviews and lack of growth..." Hi Joseph, I would think that Yahoo's growth is not one dimensional, based solely on the number of ads or pageviews. Relative ads and pageviews compared to other portals is more worrisome. For example, one way to increase growth is not just by increasing page hits, but by making the pages less costly to deliver. I think I remember that Intel faced similar issues, but they were able to continually make the chips cheaper while making them more powerful to more than offset any slowdown in unit sales. Yahoo will continue to leverage their technology base to take advantage of continuing exponential cost reductions in bandwidth and computing power to pretty much do the same thing, no? In my opinion. Jon :)

I am worried too about the pageviews' lack of growth. Yahoo cannot continue to grow if pageviews increase so little sequentially. What makes you think this Q's "pageviews growth" represents a trend? Randy

I am worried too about the pageviews' lack of growth. Yahoo cannot continue to grow if pageviews increase so little sequentially. I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but Yahoo! was actually expecting a sequential decline in page views, just due to the seasonality factor. As you head into summer, more and more people are away from their computers and enjoying the outdoors, just like the volume in the stock markets. Yahoo can continue to grow as they expand worldwide, and further strengthen their hold here in the Americas. A 9% sequential increase in page views is indeed impressive considering the quarter. Yes, one day it will become impossible to show substantial percentage increases (the law of large numbers) but Yahoo will be there.
