Get your Yahoo shirt and support your company st4.yahoo.net If you believe Lycos is getting more eyes than Yahoo you'll believe anything. Number can be manipulated. Remember that it does not include eyeballs of Geocities, and Broadcast that come. IMHO a cheap blow which is not going to work.

The Lycos press release is misleading. First of all, reach counts only the number of different people who visited the sites. A visitor could visit Lycos only once in the course of the month and be counted in the reach figure. The same person could use Yahoo hundreds of times during the month and still counts as only one visitor in Yahoo's reach calculation. Media evaluation requires two numbers: reach and frequency. Notice Lycos doesn't mention their page-view data in this release because it's only a fraction of Yahoo's. Secondly, Lycos includes Tripod and Wired Digital, and Yahoo doesn't include Geocities. Lycos is still a Yahoo wanabe.
