Yahoo Shows Signs of Display Ad Growth in Q3, Builds Publisher Network
The mood among Yahoo execs during this afternoon's Q3 earnings call was one of cautious encouragement as the company reiterated long-term missions and announced new publisher relationships. It reported year-over-year display ad growth and higher CPM rates, along with overall revenues for the quarter ending September 30, 2007 of approximately $1.77 billion, up 12 percent over the same period last year. The firm hopes new ad deals with Cars.com, Forbes.com, Ziff-Davis Media, and WebMD will propel it towards its goal of achieving broad ad network scale and complement efforts to grow traffic on its own properties through improvements in its search algorithm, focus on mobile, and an opening of its platform to developer applications. Noting anticipated continued growth in the online ad market, Yahoo founder and CEO Jerry Yang said, "We are one of the only few companies that have the scale, technology, insights, and expertise to take advantage of this opportunity." Still, he admitted, in order for the company to reach its "multi-year objectives" to become the common Web "starting point," a "must buy" for advertisers, and enable open platforms, "What we must do better is integrate." Yang and his colleagues alluded to extensive discussions over the past few months regarding the company's overall strategy, though he failed to specifically reference the "100 days" planning period he introduced during Yahoo's earnings call last quarter.
