Into the ranks of the portals, with its relaunch of AOl.com…that’s the big question. “By fishing for ad dollars on a non-subcription site, AOL must strike a careful balance…just enough content and services…to lure fresh customers and ads but not so much that loyal members realize they’d be better off canceling their monthly subscriptions, which range from $14.95 to $24.95, in favor of using the free site. Given AOL’s much larger subscription base, that’s a much tougher task than MSN faced.”
