Yahoo Warns of Slowing Internet Advertising Sales

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i-blame-bush-as-usual dept.

narramissic writes "Yahoo chairman and CEO Terry Semel warned that a slowing U.S. economy is starting to impact ad sales, particularly in 'autos and financial services.' But Yahoo was careful to note that it cannot tell whether the current slowdown is a sign of broader trouble or is limited to ads from the auto and financial sectors."

    Sounds like someone's sales are slumping, and they want to bring the market down with them.

    Anyone have google's ad revenue relating specific to these areas?

    Here's some data you can look at. Google looks to be doing quite well actually :) Maybe Yahoo is just losing to google more than they thought? :)
