Microsoft and Yahoo Team Up To Challenge Google
Posted on by Ryan Deiss in Search Engine Optimization
It’s official!
Microsoft announced today that they have struck a deal to power Yahoo’s search, while at the same time Yahoo will be powering paid ads on Bing.com (Microsoft’s new search platform…formerly known as MSN).
You can get all the details here:

…and here:

So why is this good news for marketers?
It’s simple. With Yahoo and Microsoft now a team, Google finally has some competition in the search market. This means:
- Ad costs may go down, and…
- Google may stop being such enormous jerks to their advertisers (which could mean less “Google Slaps”)
Obviously this is just my speculation, and the deal doesn’t go final until 2010 so don’t expect anything to change overnight, but competition is (almost) always a good thing for consumers, so for now, at least, I’m chearing this deal.
Comment below and let me know what you think…

@Adam Morris: You expect Microsoft (found guilty of monopolistic thinking by the Dept. of Justice, even if the punishment failed utterly) to not try to do the same as Google is doing should they succeed? Think again.
The eWeek article where a person from Microsoft asserted they bring home a whopping 85% net profit from every copy of Windows sold is a serious warning that Microsoft cannot be trusted. Ever.

I use Bing and Google whenever i want to find something on the internet. I think that both search engines are very good. *

Before everyone gets too excited you need to consider – With Google providing 80% of the traffic I only had to buy adwords. Now with two leading providers I will need to pay for & maintain 2 PPC accounts to insure that my site gets seen.

Well folks it seems to many changes on the search engine like Bing made a lots of improvement and they ae planning team up with Yohoo to capture the market againts Google.
Well I can only say let us all watch and learn as we go to the market trend it is to early to predict the 2010 race on the search engine.
However it is always nice to have a competition the best way to look at the market trends.

Sounds like great news to me.
I hope it will stop Google being so expensive. If it also stops them slapping so many sites then even better.
Can’t wait to see how it pans out.

Some interesting comments and observations. I love the evolution of the internet, but I agree that perhaps it could be time for a bit more competition in the market instead of this monopoly.

What a dream it would be to have cheaper ppc clicks-Competition is the main force in keeping all things cheaper,from food to gas prices-let’s hope this will be a change to make Google bend at the knees a bit-great post thanks
