>>As we all know in advertizing, the number of readers are important in rates. Playboy always had more in rates than smaller trade magazines.<< don't you mean "lookers" instead of "readers?" ;-) anyway, the point is that the competition reduced their rates 75%. sure, yahoo will cost more. rarely do you see one competing company lower prices 75% and another raise prices or stay the same. the effective cost goes up so demand growth slows, stops or demand declines unless yahoo makes their prices less expensive. what does less expensive mean? i've hit yahoo thousands and thousands of times. i've clicked through an ad banner less than 10 and NEVER bought a thing.
