This. - chriskzoo, on 04/16/2008, -4/+7LOL @ People in bewilderment that Google isn't the only one trying to market them to death.
- Myztry, on 04/16/2008, -1/+4Yahoo isn't worth what they are asking. But in a few years being number 2 will be worth 10 times that. And for Microsoft who is ranked about ZERO, that has to be worth at least what Yahoo is asking. If not significantly more.
Every mature market tends to settle to one dominant player, and one major competitor. If Microsoft doesn't buy it's way in soon, then it's going to be locked out forever!
There is no room at the top for 'also ran' companies... - talkingtiki, on 04/16/2008, -4/+6Maybe because Google will deactivate Adsense accounts for no reason. No explanation, no nothing.
- withears, on 04/16/2008, -0/+2Sometimes I actually turn off AdBlock so I can see Google Ads on friends' sites and I click the hell out of every one.
Thanks for the free money, Googlers! - fani, on 04/16/2008, -2/+3Not surprising. Yahoo has more products that're more widely used than Googles. Google leads search but yahoo isn't unknown there. I myself prefer yahoo search.
Yahoo has finance, tv, movie, games, chat, mail,maps etc. that're used widely. All this adds to ad revenue.
And not many have adblock installed. - Myztry, on 04/19/2008, -0/+1ms is ranked 4th not 3rd (which is like 0 in a 'two player preferred' market)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine#Current ... - macewan, on 04/16/2008, -2/+3Doesn't seem unusual in the least. With Microsoft gasping for air on the Internet innovation front by going after Yahoo! this led the media and bloggers to talk about Yahoo!. Therefore, more people are checking out Yahoo! and what it offers. Duuuurwee
“It was unusual and unexpected,” said Roger Barnette, president of SearchIgnite. - SpaceMonkeyZero, on 04/16/2008, -2/+2I don't see any of those google Ads...
Hmmm - withears, on 04/16/2008, -5/+5I installed AdBlock for ONE reason - to block Google Ads. (I use it for more now, but that was the catalyst.)
Buh bye Google Ads.
(FYI, I do not block Yahoo ads.) - LightSpeed4, on 04/18/2008, -1/+1ms is ranked 3rd not 0
- BradBrown, on 04/16/2008, -2/+2Then I will switch to Yahoo ads immediately! 10 cents a day here I come!
- lornali, on 04/16/2008, -1/+1Thanks for the information.
- WikiEasy, on 04/16/2008, -4/+4Good. I'm sick of Google Adsense/Adwords anyway. I pay more per click, and get less results than with Yahoo/Overture/MSN ads.
- tcpip4lyfe, on 04/16/2008, -3/+2Maybe Microsoft does know what they are doing after all with their plans to buy Yahoo.
- petecampbell, on 04/16/2008, -4/+2I wish this was the reason my AdSense figures are getting progressively lower.
- drjekelmrhyde, on 04/16/2008, -3/+1I guess Project Panama is really working
- inactive, on 04/16/2008, -3/+1Because Newspapers are using Yahoo, thats why.
- Trixrox, on 04/16/2008, -4/+1Yahoo has been in the news lately...maybe people were checking them out?
- akamakavely, on 04/16/2008, -6/+2google's pretty much losing space and microsoft is moving in on yahoo so .... the war or the gurus is yet to come !
- chandan333, on 04/16/2008, -8/+2How ?
I don't use yahoo for search. - inactive, on 04/16/2008, -7/+0To yahoo?,I don't see any of those yahoo Ads
- nahsrocketeer75, on 04/16/2008, -9/+1Hmmm, that is surprising. A crack in Google's armor?
