Yahoo should keep its search business but learn how to make it better. Ms. Bartz should compose an Advisory Board of Category Leading Advertisers to learn from their knowledge and experience how to improve Yahoo.

NYCdentist.com and its family of 500 urls in dentistry have over ten years of Internet data from 200,000 targeted monthly visitors (1dentist.com/about). We have a lot of insight into the Yahoo v. Google search war. I’m sure other Category Leading Advertisers do too. Is Yahoo, its advisors, or its institutional investors interested?
