more bad news for google...
 

just wait a bit for the dip, and then strike with a buy.

im not touching that with a ten foot pole

too late to buy now

its never too late to buy , too late is when a stock is not listed anymore

as long as a stock gets a listing it will go up and it will go down , and as it does this there is always money to be made

How about amazon launching its own contextual advertising program for bad news? The biggest problem is this means Amazon will stop running google ads, ouch.

Google downgraded, stock hits 3 1/2-mo. low

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Google (GOOG) was downgraded to hold from buy at American Technology Research, citing concerns over the impact of higher spending on margins and increasing regulatory uncertainty. Analyst Rob Sanderson also believes capital expenditures may be higher than most are expecting. The stock was last down $7.82, or 2.1%, at $360.10, and has now lost $72.56, or 17% since the end of January. It hit a low of $354.67 in intraday trading, the lowest price seen since Oct. 27. Sanderson kept his stock price target at $475, but lowered his first-quarter earnings estimate to $1.92 a share from $1.95, and his 2006 forecast to $8.96 a share from $9.13.

Amazon have well over million affiliates. However I wonder how many are still active. Their advertising program could rock quite hard. At minimum they will be able to knock a few billion off Googles over priced stock.

Bah should have bought at 85.

go long so others can short the uptick

Google is borderline for a major, major correction. 99% of the revenue comes from adwords and adsense, but in many cases, it is just selling in a circle as people with sites pay for ads on google, and then turn around and upsell the traffic to more expensive search terms from google. While it is good for google, the end buyers are in the end paying for poor quality traffic run through a ringer.

This works mostly because google SERPs do tend to reward sites with adwords / adsense on the page. It has meant that for many mainstream generic search terms, most of the entries have been those types of sites. The problem over time is that it makes the search results less and less productive, which in the end will encourage the searchers to go elsewhere.

When that drops, the Google's revenue drops twice, once because they don't sell as many initial clicks to the adwords sites, and again when those sites can't resell the clicks to adsense buyers.

The structure builds it up fast... but it can fall just as quick.

... and hold on to your hats, Barrons is suggesting that a 50% drop might be in the cards, as issues of click fraud and buyer dropoff comes to Google:

Alex
