ONSL doesn't get the same valuations as other 'net stocks because it doesn't generate the same margins. Whereas YHOO generates about 99% gross margins on its (meager) ad sales, ONSL only generates 9% on merchandise sales (and can therefore realistically can never generate a profit).

THAT's why the PS ratio is lower here.
