Having hired Marissa Mayer, former google executive and engineer,
it was only a matter of time before she partnered with google.

Google's ads will now appear on various yahoo properties as
well as co-branded sites.

That's actually good news for adwords users, bad news for
MS, as they are just now launching attack ads against google
and their ad practices. Oh well. Looks like MS is getting
scroogled in reverse.

    Yeah, I always thought MS would eventually buy Yahoo, but it is pretty obvious that it will soon be Google's yet another way for them to eat up market share.

    Yahoo! Teams with Google on Contextual Advertising

    Every day, people turn to Yahoo! for their daily habits -- like search, weather, news or more. At Yahoo!, we’re focused on doing everything we can to make the user experience inspiring and engaging. One way we do that is by providing relevant and well-targeted content -- whether that be editorial or advertising content.

    Say you’ve been shopping for boots. If you see an ad for boots, that’s instantly going to pique your attention more than an ad for, say, a car battery. That’s better for users. This is why contextual advertising is such a powerful tool.

    Today, we’re excited to announce that we recently signed a global, non-exclusive agreement with Google to display ads on various Yahoo! properties and certain co-branded sites using Google’s AdSense for Content and Google’s AdMob services.

    By adding Google to our list of world-class contextual ads partners, we’ll be able to expand our network, which means we can serve users with ads that are even more meaningful.

    For our users, there won’t be a noticeable difference in how or where ads appear. More options simply mean greater flexibility. We look forward to working with all of our contextual ads partners to ensure we’re delivering the right ad to the right user at the right time.

    Wow how intersting Paul. Can you please explain exactly how this will work, i.e. where the ads will appear, how often etc. Yahoo and Bing are such a waste of time IMO, I mean even Yandex has just beaten Bing into third place in terms of market share. Forget about trying to catch Google lads, watch your back. :rolleyes:

      It sounds as if they are going to become one huge-@$$ adsense
      partner. Probably in all of yahoos pages, like their blogs,
      omg, news, etc. Next to google, I regularly sift through yahoo's
      stuff. They always have some pretty good material there. Funny
      thing, I rarely search from yahoo.

      Yahoo has got to pump up their profits. Doing what is essentially
      adsense, has like zero operating costs. Other than the people
      who are probably on staff already coding current ads.

      Like it or not, google has mastered online ad revenue. Nobody
      else comes close.

      Microsoft is hurting bad. I tried really hard to switch away from Google, so I set bing as my default search for a week, and it drove me nuts. Numerous queries had so few results it was laughable. Needless to say, I didn't make it a full week. Not to mention, it's nearly impossible to get a decent amount of my pages indexed by Bing. Maybe that's why it's called Bing- you have to be Begging in order to be indexed.

    I think Bing is a pretty good platform. I still love Google, but I don't think it's good for any one company to have such a huge market share. Bad for the consumer in the end.

    Seems like Google is slowly encroaching on other platforms, good for Google definitely and Yahoo I suppose. I remember years ago, yahoo was massive in the u.k, maybe I was just naive and young lol
