Size of online market ?

Google is expected to have revenues of around $10 billion in 2006 but the article says Google will receive 25% of the $15.6 billion online market - something seems wrong with these statistics - even if you just take the non partner revenue figure for Google that's about $6 billion. Is the size of the overall online market being significantly underestimated ?

global versus US figures

The 10 billion projection for 2005 is for Google's total global sales. The 25 percent of $15.6 billion is US ad market only. Last year, nearly 40 percent of its revenue was from international sales.

less offensive ads?

So if I go to Cingular.com or Sheraton.com and click around for a little while before visiting MySpace, I'll get less offensive ads? Because I can't figure out how the ads are targeted to me, otherwise.
