Recently I saw the news on Cnn that Yahoo lost a few points, do to a lack of "page clicks".?

Question

In reality would'nt that mean that YAHOO is more organized for its users?

Answer 1

Here's one person's opinion of the reason behind much of the lack of page clicks (when you lose, you gain):
"All of this is a bit of a head scratcher. Why is Yahoo, a site that had been an ardent promoter of RSS, now seemingly putting it all on the back burner? They shipped three heavily promoted sites without feeds. This isn't an oversight. It's deliberate. Something bigger is going on here.

My gut feeling is that Yahoo is trying to create content that you can only get on their sites and nowhere else. It's all very Lloyd Braun. They want consumers spending as much time as possible on their properties. If they put RSS feeds on these sites, it will mean fewer page views because people will only click in on content that they really care about. In other words, it means less time spent. Browsing and clicking creates page views. By skipping RSS, they will serve up more ads.

Could this be the beginning of a larger trend?"

Answer 2

No. It means fewer people are using yahoo. This is turn means yahoo shows less ads. That means less money in yahoos profit.
