Revenues
Total revenues were reduced by the effects of currency rate fluctuations, the sale of Kelkoo in late 2008 and lower fees revenues from voice-over IP services and subscription music offerings. Excluding the effects of these items, revenues would have declined 6 percent.
Marketing services revenues declined 13 percent and fees revenues declined 8 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2008.
Marketing services revenues from Owned and Operated sites were $858 million for the second quarter of 2009, a 16 percent decrease compared to $1,016 million for the same period of 2008. The decrease was driven by a 15 percent decline in search advertising revenue and a 14 percent decline in display advertising revenue.
Marketing services revenues from Affiliate sites were $520 million for the second quarter of 2009, a 9 percent decrease compared to $571 million for the same period of 2008. The decrease was driven primarily by a shift to lower yielding inventory.
Cost Initiatives
