<<The Yahoo MCI deal, The E*Trade deal, the Yahoo platinum Visa promotion. Those are off the top of my head.>. Yahoo does not make any money from the MCI deal. Since to date, Yahoo has said that the other deals have generated insignificant revenue, why do you think they would generate significant revenue now?

Thoughts on Partnership MCI/Yahoo was a miserable failure. Management refused to comment on this throughout its short life (other than hyping its announcement of course). Dismissed as unimportant when it failed. Replaced with ATT/Yahoo, also a miserable failure. Etrade/Yahoo is with a Softbank related party. Don't think it is revenue sharing anyway. Etrade pays Yahoo millions for banner ads, using Softbank money no doubt. Visa/Yahoo has been a very rough partnership. Not sure of the current status, but I think it is just a branded card, like my college offers, my work offers, my former fraternity offers, and every person in the world offers. Successful? I don't think so. This partnership started off as much more including significant e-commerce, but Visa pulled out about 18 months ago. It is in their SEC filings. Guru.
