We just wanted to get you prepped for this neat little thing on the Yahoo consortium joining QuadrantONE, an alliance of hundreds of TV and newspaper affiliated websites from all around the country.
QuadrantONE grants these guys the nice little luxury of having access to national advertising in prime spaces without having to sell those ads independently, or make contact with affiliated websites to sell ad space either! It’s all pretty much taken care of. Neat, huh?
Well, kind of. In this partnership, newspapers put away a certain percentage of ads for the ones sold by quadrantONE. Kinda cool… except for the sales people who were responsible for selling national ads.Does anyone smell the shrinking of sales departments up ahead? Anyone? Anyone? [internetnews.com
