Yahoo, although weaker than Google in search, boasts a more diverse business, with revenues from the likes of Internet access partnerships, fantasy sports, and "branded" ads that appear outside of the search property, says Susquehanna's Wolk: "We would expect Google would trade at a discount to Yahoo."

"But Google is still largely a one-trick pony. Ads appearing next to search results accounted for about three-quarters of its business last year. Although this has been a red-hot market, it's also starting to mature." "Eventually, it's quite possible that Google will experiment with image-based ads next to its own search results." Could have been written yesterday. Just replace $700m with $20b.
