"We believe that paid search is benefiting from both better than expected quarter on quarter growth in volume and PPCs due to the strong secular trends & the heightened e-commerce competitive environment," it said. Goldman sees Google fourth-quarter revenue at $592 million on EBITDA of $378 million, and Yahoo fourth-quarter revenue of $773 million on EBITDA of $322 million. ----------------------- FUTS flat with a ever so slightly green bias as Asia has traded these past few hours or so.
