Anyone care to explain to me the cyclical nature of Yahoo's revenues? Supposedly, the first quarter is the slowest. The quarter over quarter growth in revenues has been: Q496->Q197 11% Q197->Q297 42% Q297->Q397 28% Q397->Q497 45% Q497->Q198 20% Does Christmas advertising boost Q4 revenues that much? (Strange, I don't remember any Christmas based ads. Maybe it's because I almost never look at the ads.) Anyway, does that mean that the demand from the companies who want to place advertisements is the limiting factor in Yahoo's revenue growth? The growth in the number of page hits out paced the revenues 45% to 20%. It looks like Yahoo can't find enough advertisers to fill up all those page hits.
