I find the number 600,000 very difficult to believe. In addition, the CEO of e-trade is hardly an unbiased view. Doesn't e-trade only have 1-2 million accounts now. I don't follow them. Let me know, or I will look it up. Guru.

<<Yes it was. The CEO pf E*Trade even said so publicly. At one point in 1997 he said he had opened some 600,000 accounts referred by Yahoo.>> It might have been a success for E-trade but it didn't generate any revenue for Yahoo. I think that is what we are discussing here. This is from their 10Q <<A number of the Company's agreements provide that Yahoo! receive revenues from electronic commerce transactions. Currently, these revenues are recognized by the Company upon notification from the advertiser of revenues earned by Yahoo! and, to date, have not been material.>>
