Microsoft seeks to buy Yahoo search - BOSTON
2008-05-21 04:10:00 Microsoft seeks to buy Yahoo search - BOSTON BOSTON - MICROSOFT has proposed to buy Yahoo’s search business and take a minority stake in the Web pioneer, stopping short of a full-out merger, a person familiar with the discussions said. As part of the deal, Yahoo would sell its Asian assets, including significant minority stakes in Yahoo Japan and China’s Alibaba Group, while Microsoft would buy a chunk of what remains of the company, the source said. The talks were revealed by the two companies on Sunday, but they declined to reveal the terms of the discussions. Earlier this month, Microsoft walked away from a proposal to acquire Yahoo for US$47.5 billion (S$65.4 billion), or US$33 per share, after Yahoo rebuffed the offer, saying it would settle only for US$37 a share. The new deal, if completed, would forge an alliance between the two companies that would represent an alternative means of competing with rival Google. The proposal represents an outline of Microsoft...

Gas Farts...or How I Came to Love Flickr Stats
2008-02-13 09:03:00 It is really interesting to see how people get directed to your web page, blog, flickr page etc... I was going through the new Flickr Stats for my page and noticed that Yahoo Search has directed a number of people my way. So I kept clicking and saw that one of the search terms which directed people to my site was "gas farts" so I had to follow that lead and clicked that link. The results? Nothing more than Carson playing with a compressed air duster in my office. AMAZING! Right at the top...This really ranks up there with people getting directed to my blog by searching for Seth Dee and Urine Therapy. Totally Awesome. I love the internets and the strange things people search for on the internets. God Bless Gas Farts and Flickr Stats.

How To Get High Rankings On Google And Yahoo Search Engines
2008-02-10 01:55:00 By. Gareth OwenDo you ever wander how some sites get top rankings in the main search engines and others do not? Well of course you do. The reason being is that these sites adhere to a system that the search engines love and in return give these websites higher and better rankings in their listings. There are 7 key ingredients that if implemented properly will produce the desired results for you and your website marketing. They are:Step 1: Advantages of a keyword rich domain name Does your domain name affect your search engine ranking? In my experience, the domain name has an enormous impact. However, this is certainly important if you are creating a new site and attacking a competitive market. However many of you will already have sites up and running that do not contain a keyword rich domain name so do not worry as it is more than possible to rank highly without a keyword rich domain name. One variable that modern search engines consider when determining which of the thousands - or...

Microsoft+Yahoo! Search: 1+1 doesn't equal 5
2008-02-05 19:15:00 Healthy competition between media owners and communications suppliers is a good thing and should be encouraged. Competition keeps products healthy, prices fair and consumers happy. But I'm not sure a Microsoft/Yahoo! search merger is sufficient to create any notable or lasting impact on the current structure of search marketing. The problem is that Google is the giant in search - especially here in the UK where it has an 81% market share. That leaves Microsoft, Yahoo! and some others carving up the remaining 19%. The problem with these percentages is that they are real peoples' behavioural preferences. Changes in industry structure and product ownership will not necessarily change consumer behaviour. History tells us that dominant brand positions can be very difficult, if not impossible to dislodge. In fact category leaders are not dislodged; categories are dislodged. We can use transport examples to illustrate the point. The leading stagecoach companies gave way to the leading...

Optimization For The Yahoo Search Engine
2008-01-22 12:42:00 Most companies today take advantage of the internet as a major marketing and information dissemination tool. To maximize the use of the internet, companies rely on search engine optimization (SEO) to ensure that their websites and web pages muster enough traffic. Although search engine optimization aims to have websites at the top of almost all search engine result pages (SERPs), it’s quite common to see search engine optimization focusing on major search engines like Google, MSN and Yahoo.--- Giant Search Engines Targeting ---It is hard to do search engine optimization resulting to a good ranking in almost all search engines since every search engine relies on different basis and categories on ranking sites. In other words, different search engines make use of different algorithms to determine every site’s importance.

Yahoo Search Marketing: First Time Experience
2008-01-10 17:38:00 So Google Adwords seemed to be a little slow for me and I decided to open my mind to other PPC Marketing engines. Yesterday, I decided to go ahead and try Yahoo! SM, Search Marketing. The process was fairly easy, with the exception of the deposit I had to put in. I had a coupon too and which did not go towards my deposit, WTF! The coupon was an additional ‘bank’ or fund into my account. So anyways before I signed up I did a lot of reading first, I read all the FAQs at the pre sign up section of Y!SM. It provides great information about Y!SM and answered most of my questions. Without any hesitation I decided to go ahead and try it out, I signed up. Within the first couple hours of signing up and getting familiarized with the dashboard I can tell you the dashboard and the way it is set up is very powerful and interesting, it is all Ajax (for the most part). Here is a snapshot of the main dashboard that greets you when you are logged in. The dashboard has 3 sections which ...

Specifically, we're extending our support of page level exclusion tags -- NOINDEX, NOARCHIVE, NOSNIPPET, NOFOLLOW -- to provide additional control for archiving and summarization of ANY file type. Previously, these page level tags could only be expressed within html pages through the META directive (for e.g. ), but based on feedback from our webmasters, Yahoo! now enables these tags to be expressed through X-Robots-Tag directive in the http header, giving webmasters the flexibility to achieve exclusions on PDF, Word documents, PowerPoint, video, and other file types, including html files, and increasing their coverage through a simplified process. Additionally, webmasters no longer need access to html templates in order to express exclusions for html files. To take advantage of this feature, simply add the following pag...
