<<I am on this computer for at least 4 or 5 hours a day and I have NEVER even clicked on an ad. If I am one of the few who don't, then I'm in trouble with my short position. I still believe most don't look at ads.....>> Internet advertising WORKS! E*TRADE and the other brokerage firms have had heavy increases in new customers since advertising on Yahoo! Quotes page. This was documented in BusinessWeek a couple of months ago. Peter

<< Yahoo! is a great tool to use on the internet. >> I agree. They have put together a really nice site for finance. Yahoo may be getting a ton of hits each day, but unless people are clicking on the banner ads and leaving the cookie trail with the advertiser, the ad rates and growth rates will come down. Its a shame that this stock is ridiculously overpriced.

Robert... >> I stillbelieve most don't look at ads.....<< I never look at ads on anyone's pages. Well never is a strong work but seldom ever. Maybe once a month and I, like you are on several hours a day. Not only do I not click on them, I turn off the graphics so I don't sem them at all. It would be interesting to know how many SI posters click on ads. I love YHOO as a navigational tool but company is over priced IMO. Currently short and would go long maybe in the mid 30's. bob t.
