7/28/00 - Analyzing the Media Metrix June Web Report, The Internet Analyst News
NEW YORK, Jul 28, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The month of June was shaky for online content companies, with rumors of softening ad revenues adding to volatility in the sector.
Investors began to speculate that due to market`s weak performance in April and May, many companies were cut off from being able to raise capital in the public markets. Although the majority of online advertisers are bricks-and-mortar companies that have not been effected by the dot-com shake-out, several online content players warned of a decline in ad spending, including NBC Internet (Nasdaq:NBCI).
AltaVista has not yet proven itself to be a real competitor to first-tier portals, such as AOL, Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT), or Yahoo!. Whether it can make a name for itself among the second-tier players is still too early to tell, but its relationship with CMGI (Nasdaq:CMGI) should certainly help. CMGI, which owns 83% of AltaVista, also invested in several online advertisers like Engage Inc. (Nasdaq:ENGA) and AdForce, which are committed to generating business for the up-and-coming portal.

7/27/00 - Ironmax and PRIMEDIA Forge Strategic Alliance
MENLO PARK, Calif. & LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jul 27, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Ironmax, the online marketplace for the construction equipment industry and a portfolio company of CMGI @Ventures, the venture capital affiliate of CMGI, Inc. (Nasdaq: CMGI), has entered a strategic alliance with PRIMEDIA Inc., a targeted media company.
Through the terms of the alliance, PRIMEDIA has taken a significant equity stake in Ironmax, making PRIMEDIA the largest Ironmax shareholder. PRIMEDIA will contribute content, promotional services and cash. The alliance calls for PRIMEDIA to provide construction equipment information online exclusively to Ironmax customers.
"We believe that this alliance is a big step in building the premier online service for construction equipment procurement and fleet management. We did a comprehensive review of prospective partners and no one touches Ironmax`s capabilities," said Charles McCurdy, president of PRIMEDIA. "The construction industry seeks out our company`s information products. We think Ironmax is the clear industry leader and the obvious choice to deliver this information to our customers who need it and use it every day."
Together, Ironmax and PRIMEDIA will offer customers access to construction equipment information and analysis online from PRIMEDIA`s proprietary Machinery Information Division (MID) database. This valuable content is currently marketed offline through publications such as the Green Guide market value books, the Rental Rate Blue Book, Last Bid Construction Equipment auction values, the Cost Reference Guide (which details ownership and operating costs), the Serial Number Guide for Used Construction Equipment, and a host of other equipment pricing and specification titles.
Ironmax will develop applications to deliver the MID content online, both as a searchable reference resource, as well as an integrated enhancement to the Request for Quote (RFQ) equipment buying and renting functions currently in use on the Ironmax site.
"The Primedia products clearly differentiate our positioning and more importantly create a great benefit for our customers," said Steven Paradis, president and CEO of Ironmax. "This addition of world-class decision-making content is a significant step in the realization of our long-term strategy."
The two companies will cross-promote their products both offline and online. Ironmax will benefit from advertisements in such PRIMEDIA industry trade publications as Rental Equipment Register, RER Reports, Concrete Products, Rock Products, and Coal Age.
Both companies have relationships with CMGI Inc. Ironmax received $10 million in funding led by CMGI @Ventures in March, 2000. In May, 2000, CMGI Inc. acquired a five percent stake in PRIMEDIA in exchange for CMGI stock.

Frage an Steve Harmon
Wie beurteilen Sie CMGI Inc. [Nasdaq: CMGI] und Net Perceptions Inc. [Nasdaq: NETP] nach den drastischen Kursverlusten der letzten Monate?
Steve Harmon
Möglicherweise dauert es einige Zeit, bis die Straffung der Aktivitäten von CMGI – wie der Aufschub des Börsengangs der Suchmaschine AltaVista - und die neugegründeten B2B-Venture-Fonds Früchte tragen. Beim Venture-Investment im Bereich Infrastruktur kann man noch nicht sagen, welche Performance CMGI erzielen wird, denn die Beteiligungsgesellschaft war bisher im B2C-Sektor mit Marken wie Lycos und GeoCities vertreten. CMGI ist sehr versiert, was den Umgang mit Marketing und Medien angeht, bei tiefgreifenderer Technologie aber müssen wir abwarten, ob die neueren Investments an die Börse gebracht oder verkauft werden können.

Hallo Leute,
so gern ich auch MGI hab, so düster ist doch momentan der Kurs. Kann mir jemand erklären, warum der Kurs so runtergegangen ist, während z.B. Cisco sich dich ziemlich gut gehalten hat und Ariba wie die Post abgeht? Und: würdet ihr jetzt nachkaufen?
Bitte um Antwort....

Hi Leute !
Etwas zum nachdenken !!
Der Aktienkurs unserer CMGI hat von seinem letzten Hoch (50 Dollar)
mittlerweile wieder 22 % abgeben müssen.
Die börsennotierten Unternehmen der CMGI, die ich
verfolge, haben zusammen im gleichen Zeitraum ca. 10 % verloren.
