it seems like again Google has made a deal where the better they execute the more money they make.

Indeed, the sheer size of the MySpace audience presents a challenge for potential providers of advertising. There are so many pages on which to display ads that there may not be enough demand for them from advertisers, leading to low prices. Indeed, many advertisers think the personal nature and frequently risqué subject matter of MySpace pages is not the most conducive environment for plying their wares.

Eric E. Schmidt, Google’s chief executive, said the company had decided that it would not display ads on every page.

“We are not going to cover MySpace with ads,” he said, noting that Google carefully analyzes what sort of ads encourage users to click on what sort of pages to produce the most revenue.

“It turns out the right answer is to show fewer, better ads.”

Again to me this seems to be one of Google’s basic management principles and a good one. As the old management expression goes, “What get’s rewarded gets done.”

This is not 900 millions for MySpace.com but for the majority of Fox Interactive Media properties between 2007 to 2010. Fox has also to commit on traffic growth.
Nice corporate deal anyway
