Plus Yahoo is launching their own adsense soon, their beta version of this is already available on some sites

I'd like to know too

I said at least $10 million before, but it likely went for much more than that, but if they're not going to disclose the terms of the deal, then it's anyones guess.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was over $100 million.

I really have no clue, they had a large userbase for sure (over 250K last year) so an amount like $100 million isn't crazy. Especially when you consider that Yahoo has like thousands of clients for their blogservice right away.
