Google should buy Yahoo
You might argue that Google is taking share away from Yahoo little by little and therefore should not spend the $40 billion or so it would take to buy Yahoo. However, the deal is very easy to justify:
The deal could probably be justified on these considerations alone. Add in the large cost savings that would come from severe headcount reductions at Yahoo and it?s a no brainer.
The deal might have a hard time getting through the DOJ, but as the combined entity only represents a minute share of the overall advertising market, a convincing case could be made.
Just read this post in a blog I usually visit and I agree this makes perfect sense.
How long do you guys think it will take to Google buys Yahoo?
- Google is better at monetizing traffic than Yahoo and would increase Yahoo revenues significantly
- Without Yahoo on the other side, Google could be less generous with sites such as MySpace and AOL and not have to give revenue shares of up to 100% with large pre-payments
- Buying Yahoo eliminates an aggressive bidder for the other online marketing properties on the market
