This is a great step indeed for Yahoo. I hope they keep it up.

It will probably die down once the election is over, but still getting good traffic now might help them when more events occur

I agree with Ami. It's a special event and it really shouldn't affect the long run advertising costs. This is the first time Yahoo has been in the news for something positive so lets see if this is the beginning of something better. John iPod's last blog post..Earth4Energy

A related question ... I'm in Israel, not the US. Anyone have suggestions on which news stations will have streaming coverage live tomorrow? I need to work, so can't simply park myself in front of the TV for the day, but I'd like to follow the action online if possible. Ami Ohayon's last blog post..From Jerusalem to Boston

Although election coverage lasts longer, I think it makes more sense for publishers & broadcasters to treat it like the Superbowl. No one wraps Superbowl viewer numbers (or ad prices) into their media rates ... it's a special event, and is priced accordingly. Same thing for Election Day coverage in the future I'd guess.

I think marketers are going to fight back and say that these two events were extremely inflated. These were two huge events with this election being more heated than I can ever remember and the Olympics being one of the largest I can ever remember. Of course Yahoo is going to ask for more money, but I doubt marketers are going to buy into it. We'll have to wait and see. go green's last blog post..Top 5 Greenest Cars in 2009

I would expect the latter. Both events for all practical purposes were one off. So, hard headed spenders are likely to ask for current, repeatable stats. Nicole Price's last blog post..Green Tax Breaks
