<<So if AOL had a billion in holiday e-commerce, what did YooHoo have? I would guess maybe $100-$200 million. Does anyone know what fee they get for the sales leads. Wouldn't guess it would be more than 10%. >> They don't receive a percentage of sales from the Yahoo stores. According to their ad rate schedule they can receive 15 to 25 cents for a click through. Is that what you mean? BTW, there is a story in the Wall Street Journal about Shopping.com. It details how they have received a lot of customer complaints, and the company has been under investigation by the SEC etc. Anyway this appears at the end of the story "Most recently, the company says it received a letter from Yahoo! Inc. on Dec. 4 alleging breach of contract for a canceled advertising agreement, and seeking damages in excess of $2 million."

Hi The Guru, I think AOL is different from YHOO. As mentioned by many people, it has much larger companies with bigger revenue sources. With that said, many people are expecting YHOO to report earning between 0.21-0.25, so your 0.22 is a distinct possibility. With earning announcement a week away, both bulls and bears need to be careful. I am not putting a large bet either way, and will wait until after the announcement. The frustrating thing is that nobody is digging further into so many questionable practices by YHOO and Softbank. I guess it is a reflection of the time when everything goes. I do believe that we will have a big correction in Net stocks in the 2nd quarter.
