Excite and Ask: Where Are They Now?
May 14, 2016
I learned a factoid from “Yahoo Stock: Analyzing 5 Key Suppliers.” Here’s the passage with the items I noted in bold face:
Excite Japan Co., Ltd. was established in 1997 as a joint venture with Excite, Inc., which is wholly owned by IAC/InterActiveCorp. At the time, Excite, Inc., which is known in 2016 as Ask.com, was among the largest and most popular Web portals offering personalized home pages for searching content. In 2015, Excite Japan generated 9.91% of its revenues from Yahoo through a revenue-sharing agreement for ad-clicks going through Yahoo’s search engine. In 2015, the company had revenue of $66.47 million in U.S. dollars and a market capitalization of $3.77 billion.
Interesting about Excite. About Yahoo? Not so much.
