I use whatever pops up when I go to the search function... but eyeballs mean nothing as the MER analyst was pointing out I have learned after several years on the web to ignore ads....I cant even remember the last time I clicked on one....its been MONTHS and if you use the subliminal argument...maybe it has had some effect on me...i dont know.....I would have to examine my purchasing activity. and one of my degrees is in marketing... so yes I can say the internet will be definitely be one of the four "P's" and a useful marketing tool...but not the panacea that some think and to think every company will be an internet stock because of the internet is just not a feasible concept to me...I mean...I wish Robert could tell me how Coke would ever be considered an internet stock. Even Dell who does a tremendous business off the web is not considered an internet stock..... ____________________ analyst on CNBC who reco'ed SEEK in low twenties on now... said the stocks are petering out and wait until it goes under 30...

All Indians walk in straight lines, I know I saw him!! Some of us use search engines every day. We get advt. targeted to our questions. Others will never use one -- but the power of the web and e-commerce is that it will eventually support 100% of the global population, not just the current 1% Weby

Pure: I have said in the past that you have to take the longer view with these SE's(6mth-1yr 1/2) As the Convergence of T.V. and Internet come into the home on one cable/telephone line. Mom and Pop America will want everything laid out on a platter like T.V. is today. They will click on the internet T.V. and go to the main networks...ABC,NBC,CBS,FOX. My guess is that the SE's will do deals with these networks to provide localized/personalized homepages that provide local and national news,weather,sports,network programming,games,chats,and web directories that link to branded services for travel,consumer goods, etc.etc. Each Network will then be able to integrate t.v. and web advertising into an interactive,direct response marketing tool. IMHO that means BIG $$$$$$$$$ These alliances will be BIG news and that is what I anticipate will move the stocks in the near term.
