Trying to figure out new metrics to communicate with marketers. One area of specific weakness : social networking . The company is having trouble monetizing "social networking" inventory (e.g., MySpace). Guaranteed payments to MySpace, et al, caused the "Traffic Acquisition Cost" rate to jump to almost 90% of network revenue from 84% last quarter. This is not a big deal for Google, but unless Google can figure out a more effective monetization scheme, it's bad news for MySpace. 2007 Q4 Earnings Conference Call
