>>If it wants to be AOL remember that AOL posted losses for a decade before finally turning about 6 million dues paying
subscribers into positive earnings--and it kept the access revenue for itself--which is still majority of AOL's revenue. Yahoo
Online sees MCI getting the access dollars while Yahoo, ad sales on pages. Our take: not an AOL killer the way this is set up,
at least not for Yahoo.<<

YHOO/MCI deal from the FOOL.

>>You should talk to advertisers. You're talking off the
>>top of your head on this point.

William,

If you have any published data showing that web ads are
cost-effective compared to other media, please post it here.

I sincerely doubt that such data exists.

Yes, lot's of people are rushing to spend money on the
web ads and the web-ad stocks. I don't believe either
bet will pay off.
