Yahoo! Joins With Bing (Microsoft) Take On Google?

Posted by on Jul 29, 2009 in Bing, Google, Search Engines, Yahoo! | 2 comments

Have you heard the news? Yes, it was announced this morning that Yahoo joined forces with Bing and the guys at Microsoft.  This type of relationship between them is nothing new, just a few years ago Microsoft was using Yahoo’s PPC ad system on their search engine, however this new “reconciliation” looks to be different.  Below are some details of this crazy news…

I would love to hear your thoughts on this.  Do you think it will last? Will they really challenge Google?  I have my thoughts, but please, I want to hear yours!

Feel free to leave an audio or video comment.

Here is the live signing… It’s like when Lebron James signed to the Cavs!

    As advertisers we like adcenter for the great conversion rates of Bing’s traffic.. With Yahoo though we are forced to buy clicks from junk partners that send nothing but fake clicks.. It’s a daily job to monitor all the new bad-domains to block.. And you have to PAY for all that.. :P

    With the current merge of Yahoo and Bing let’s hope the new “team” will do it RIGHT by giving the advertisers the choice to pay only for real yahoo/bing searches.. just like Adwords and adcenter allow (for now?).

    Just my 2 cents

    Cheers!

    Yes, there will be much to learn from this merger, and much we do not know about their ad platform. I too am curious about how they will merge their “Quality Score”
