Yahoo & Microsoft Search Deal
Recent news has surfaced that Yahoo and Microsoft have struck a deal to try and take down the giant of search, Google. There has been talks about a deal between the two for over a year now.
With the deal Microsoft will now be the power behind Yahoo Search while Yahoo becomes the only provider of paid advertising on Microsofts Bing.
At first glance It seems like a smart deal. With Bing pushing open the door slightly on natural search I can see why Yahoo might want some of that. On the other side Yahoo has always been pretty solid on the advertising side whilst MSN has come up trailing.
There is still a lot to sort out with the deal, but from an SEO standpoint things look about the same, or maybe a little more solid. I for one like how MSN handles rankings and definitely vote that way.
Can’t wait to see what happens from here out.
