A preview on Yahoo!'s upcoming earnings next Tuesday

Will Yahoo! (NASDAQ:YHOO) report excellent, dismal, or yawning quarterly results next Tuesday? If all the market chatter comes to fruition, then Yahoo! may have another rather disappointing quarter on its hands come next week. And, again, it will be said that Yahoo! CEO Terry Semel's days may be numbered. We've been hearing this for over a year now, yes?

Competitor Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) continues to beat up on Yahoo! every chance it gets, as the search leader has figured out that unobtrusive advertising actually does work in the age of the Internet. Get customer relevancy in those ads and display them with uncanny ability to be helpful at those needed times, and Google shines quite a bit above Yahoo!'s outmoded advertising model, which relies on annoying banner and skyscraper ads, along with "highest bid" search advertising, that is still waiting on an upgrade from Yahoo!, codenamed Project Wait Forever Panama.

Will Yahoo!'s earnings meet, exceed, or fail analyst expectations? If they don't meet expectations, do you expect YHOO shares to fall significantly? They usually do, and with YHOO trading under $30 per share right now, it would not be a good thing for YHOO shares to tank any more than they have since September of last year.

Remember -- stay tuned to yhoo.bloggingstocks.com next Tuesday as I'll be liveblogging Yahoo!'s results. We'll all see what's up. Until then, do you think these YHOO estimates from Zack's will be met, be beat or will miss Yahoo!'s actual numbers next Tuesday? Looks like the consensus estimate is that Yahoo! will earn 13 cents per share for this past quarter -- what do you think?
