Well, now this is interesting! Hopefully YPN can go international now, though it's a 10 year deal.

[zartech]

I strongly believe that Bing has a bright future. A day will come when Google will face a tough competition from Bing.

[dave08]

Does that mean Yahoo search will go?

[qazu]

Does that mean Yahoo search will go?It sure sounds like it. Yahoo wouldn't use Bing if Yahoo search remains around, would they?

[Oranges]

This is great news, and i wonder what gonna happen with YPN and Microsoft's Pubcenter both are in beta version for international users.

I think microsoft is aiming at Yahoo's vase resource database which has been mined since the boom of internet revolution

That is a very good point!

Some folks over at the big G will be working overtime in the next few weeks. Time to step up their game plan.

[petermc]

I think there is going to be some real big changes within the search market in the next year or so!

Nice deal but I doubt it will make things better. I am doing yahoo advertising but responce is to low and setup is to difficult compared to google

[jack74]

I think it will create some problems for webmasters, some sites which are well ranked in yahoo and not in bing, after that their ranking will be dropped in yahoo also..

[jasn009]

i also read this news in yahoo news section, sounds good
at least there will be 1 competitor of google

[Watson2]

They have not yet concluded. The deal will close in 2010. Competition is important, but I doubt if Yahoo! & Microsoft parley is a huge threat to Google search.

[sandeepdude]

And what's the future of Bing?

[chiendent]

So we needto have a good position in Bing to have also a good position in Yahoo!
Let's work on Bing SEO? ;)

Wow a fight between google and yahoo/microsoft. Hopefully Bing can win i hate Google.

[markov]

BING will definitely give a tough fight to GOOGLE. That's for sure.

What is this database about? Never heard of it.

[Luke Beale]

I think Bing is better than Yahoo Search anywho.

[miles2go]

Yeah its great new. They tied for 10 year to beat google. Lets hope they some sign of competition. It will help all the adsense user.

[gracemos]

Does this mean this tie up can beat the big G? Lets see what happen next, for me G still the best.
