Good Internet/E-commerce outlook: Amazon, Internet Shares Rise on Ad Revenue Optimism Seattle, Aug. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Amazon.com Inc., Yahoo! Inc., America Online Inc. and other Internet stocks climbed on optimism that advertising and electronic-commerce revenue will rise as the companies broaden their services and expand globally. Amazon, the world's largest online bookseller, soared 6 1/2 to 116. Lycos Inc. rose 6 5/8 to 64 1/2, and No. 1 Internet directory Yahoo! rose 4 1/4 to 91 5/8. America Online, the No. 1 online service, climbed 6 1/2 to 111 7/8. Internet companies soared in anticipation of a surge in consumer use of the global computer network, especially rapid growth in electronic commerce. Investors are betting that companies such as ETrade Group Inc. and Amazon that sell goods and services online, as well as online gateways such as Yahoo!, will see a big boost in revenue from increased Web use. ''We expect the (Internet) stock group to end the year at new highs, based on seasonal uptick in traffic, advertising and commerce, starting in September,'' said Keith Benjamin, an analyst with BancAmerica Robertson Stephens, who rates AOL ''strong buy.'' ETrade, an online brokerage, rose 1 9/16 to 28 11/16. Excite Inc., the No. 2 online search service, rose 4 1/16 to 45 15/16. Other Internet-related stocks got a lift, including Inktomi Corp., which surged 11 1/2 to 59 1/4, and online ad agency DoubleClick Inc., which rose 5 1/2 to 43 1/4. EarthLink Network Inc., an Internet service provider, rose 4 5/8 to 40 1/2.

On IPO's: Market volatility scares new stocks away from debuts By Holly Rosenkrantz NEW YORK, Aug 12 (Reuters) - A handful of companies said Wednesday they decided to put off plans to sell shares to the public, blaming the see-sawing stock market for hurting the demand for their initial public offerings. Five companies, which include an airport shuttle business and a supplier of office products, did not set a date for when their deals will resurface. Also, an IPO from Cincinnati Bell Inc. <CSN.N> spin-off Convergys Corp. <CVG.N> was slimmed down late Wednesday in a sign of weak demand for what was expected to be a hot deal. The company will sell 14 million shares rather than its originally planned 18 million, and will set the price on the shares in the $15-$17 range rather than an initially expected $17-$19. The stock is expected to debut on the public markets Thursday. This new round of companies that have decided to postpone their plans to go public or slim down their offerings are the latest victims of a jittery climate for new issues, in which high-profile deals from Del Monte Foods Co. <DLM.N> and Union Pacific Corp.'s <UNP.N> trucking unit Overnite Corp. <OVNT.O> have also been pulled. Most new corporate bonds have not made it to market either. IPO experts predict the rollercoaster market, which in recent weeks has fallen from its high-flying days of mid-July, is likely to lead other companies to put their deals on hold. "These postponements, cancellations will continue through August since companies will not be interested in reducing their price to their deals done in this buyers market," said David Menlow, president of the IPO Financial Network in Springfield, N.J. However, Internet-related start-ups -- many of which have no immediate plans to turn a profit -- remain the only type of new stock that continues to excite investors. GeoCities <GCTY.O>, which runs a service for creating online communities that is one of the most popular spots on the World Wide Web, went public Tuesday, the same day the key index of technology-related stocks, the Nasdaq Composite Index plunged 46.5 in its sixth-largest point loss ever. The stock more than doubled from its $17 a share IPO price to close at $37.31, and then shot up further Wednesday, gaining $8.3125 to close at $45.625 on Nasdaq. The success of the offering has kept most of the other hot Internet deals on the calendar for the next few days, though demand for new issues such as CitySearch Inc. <CTSY.O>, Entrust Technologies <ENTU.O> and 24/7 Media <TFSM.O> is not expected to match that of GeoCities. That company is considered in the same league as high-fliers Yahoo! Inc. <YHOO.O> and Amazon.com Inc. <AMZN.O> in terms of recognition among Web users. "As long as the companies have something to do with the Internet, people chase after them," Vincent Slavin, an IPO analyst with Cantor Fitzgerald, said. "They think they're getting in on the next big thing." 22:36 08-12-98

Here's some stuff I gathered up today....... I just plucked the main target like in airfare.com I just plucked the Airfare part. If its in Australia you may have to add the .au part or if it won't come up you may have to change the .com to .org or .net. Also you may have to change some of the www's to aaa's. It is a work in progress and I will work with it. Play with the ones that won't come up and let me know what the correction is and I will change it. Keep in mind that these are just the "softbank ads" and do not include the zulumedia ads. If you find any softbank ads that I have left out, e-mail them to me at rover44778@aol.com and I will add them to the list. I will begin work on the "zulumedia ads" soon and hope to have the list completed by the time of the merger (hint-hint). I tried not to duplicate domains as that would be a monstrous job to list them all. Also keep in mind that the ad space on some of these pages is shared with other ad companies. If a Softbank Ad doesn't come up try again later or try the reload button. Another possible hindrance in seeing the ads may occur if the page is a homepage. Sometimes companies choose not to place banners on their homepage but place them on the succeeding pages. Click on a few of their pages. If you find a Softbank Ad click it a few hundred times.
