You are assuming that the conversion rate SHOULD be the same from direct vs. indirect traffic which is an assumption that does not make sense. If you go to Expedia directly then you would appear more likely to be looking for travel - more committed for example. If you are reading the NY Times online and you happen to click on the Expedia portion of the site, are these users perhaps less committed? more likely to be browsing? Does your data from travel and other sites suggest that direct and indirect traffic converts at the same rate? Do travel links on other content sites convert at the same rates as they do on the travel sites themselves? would love to see the answers to the above both for Travel and other industries... thanks.

THis is a search for <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=expedia+complaints&btnG=Google+Search" rel="nofollow">EXPEDIAcomplaints </a> in Google. I think that in that partnership EXPEDIA might ruin the NY Times reputation. well, EXPEDIA is having bad reputation lately . THis is a search for EXPEDIAcomplaints in Google.
