STUDY OF DOT-COM MARKETING FINDS MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS
NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Stamps.com topped the list of dot-com irrational exuberance in 1999 by plowing $98 into marketing for each dollar of revenue. Last year, it spent 15 cents on marketing for each dollar of revenue -- leaving enough money to pay for postage. Directory:

Yahoo's Q1 Ad Revenue Grows
NEW YORK Yahoo recorded a 38 percent year-over-year rise in first-quarter advertising revenue, thanks in part to an increase in sponsored-search services.
The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Web portal said Wednesday that Q1 revenue from marketing services totaled $190 million, up from about $138 million in the
same period a year ago. The boost resulted from a combination of a strong increase in revenue from its sponsored search services, as well as growth in the balance of its global marketing services revenue. In fourth-quarter 2002, Yahoo's ad revenue reached $177.5 million. Directory:

Life Is But a Stream?
It must be a sign of the times. Over the past two weeks, companies claiming they can solve all our budget allocation woes have inundated us.

No need to produce customized creative, and budgets will just flow from television to the Internet. Right? Directory:

Commercial Overkill
One of the few things I like about spam mail is that it's so obvious. On the very first line there are usually block capitals and dollar symbols, letting me know that this is junk and I can trash it immediately. As the dotcom industry struggles to make money, I'm noticing the same negative signals cropping up on an increasing number of Web sites too. "Ignore me. I'm junk." Directory:

DoubleClick Posts Profit
DoubleClick (Quote, Company Info) returned to profitability with its first-quarter results Tuesday, after spending a painful year recasting its business.
The company, which jettisoned its media business to focus on technology tools, reported a $1.4 million profit for the quarter on $60.1 million of revenue. While the revenue figure was down from last year's first quarter, the profit stood in contrast to the $6 million loss the company suffered in that period -- an improvement attributable to cost cutting.
