It worked today. Lcos up 35%. Also these results are from media metrix. Is this an unreliable source? I don't think so. True the hits don't include bcst+gcty, but this is still very very disturbing news. On the plus side yhoo still has 4 times as many page views so they still have a larger client base if you will. But Lcos is getting recognition and hopefully they don't have a better search engine then yhoo. Otherwise yhoo will lose market share. Yahoo stressed that the numbers only reflected a one-month snapshot and said it did not believe they marked a trend. One survey clearly does not make or break a company, and in the new Internet medium, audience reach is just one of many measurements of a company's success. By other gauges, Yahoo arguably remains the leader. In its latest quarter, Yahoo averaged 235 million page views a day, or more than four times Lycos' average. Page views are the number of individual pages all Internet users combined call up in a given day. In addition, while Yahoo is a profitable business, Lycos is still losing money. And though name recognition is harder to quantify, Yahoo appears to be a better-known brand than Lycos.
