New Yahoo Web Site Coming

[clasione]

Looks like Yahoo is working on a new version of their search engine results pages.... I keep seeing this new look pop back and forth...

[ichigo]

it look so much like google. the image is too small though..

[godmode]

Yahoo wins the best ripoff of 2007 Award

[benpolska]

looks exactly like aol search which is basically google

[guerilla]

This is so messed up.

Didn't Google invent the internets?

[cooolapts]

I read somewhere that yahoo is going to make huge changes in their search marketing programs and they are going to make it similar to adwords. May be they have started the changes.

[trichnosis]

it look so much like google...

in fact yahoo is allways doing this . it's allways trying to make the same what google does:p

[bigrollerdave]

When you use the search feature it gives a dropdown of things it thinkgs you're searching for just like google suggest does.

[soniqhost.com]

I guess the old saying is true, if you can't beat them join them, or in yahoo's case copy them.

[Adulu]

It is too clean and have no trademark on search page?

[frodosringfinger]

Looks like they're ripping of the big G.

[Claudek]

Agree with you there. Every Yahoo search page has their logo listed and it is very odd that this one doesn't. Yahoo allows yout to personalize your search results - perhaps this is something like that?

BTW, for you AOL & Google FanBoys, don't forget classics like:
Google Copies IE7 Promo Material From Yahoo (http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/12/11/google-copies-ie7-promo-material-from-yahoo/)
AOL Beta launches, blatant rip-off of Yahoo (http://www.webware.com/8301-1_109-9713152-2.html)
Google AdWords Copying Yahoo Panama Interface? (http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2007/04/google-adwords-copying-yahoo-panama-interface.html)


Copying is done by all sides in some respect or another. Sometimes it works , good example is how Yahoo Answers trounced Google Answers, Other times it doesn't - Google's Froggle, Gtalk, and maybe Google Checkout

You r right , Yahoo always make changes when they see changes in Google , actually they copy Google :p

[Claudek]

Profound words for a 1st poster. Wow, just wow - any further statements of knowledge you'd like to share? We know you are right, cause you said so. No need to read any other posts before yours, no need to quote examples, links, etc.

[rustybrick]

I cant see the image, can you link to a larger version?

[GreenStalkDirectory]

In Clasione's image it looks like pay per clicks are only on the right side, not horizontal on top of the search results? Is anyone else seeing the same thing?

[tamar]

Actually, guys, it's not a "Google rip off" at all. The point of the new interface is to show a new feature of Yahoo called Search Assist.

If you want to read more, Danny Sullivan wrote a very interesting piece on the features (with a screencast) on Search Engine Land.

Eventually they'll realize that copying Google isn't the way to get ahead of Google. Innovation is.

[Web Gazelle]

I agree, it does look like they are trying to look like Google.

[Madmurphy]

I think it is a good step for them really. :)

[Claudek]

Good find. Was not aware of that. Rep given.

[Slacker]

Not surprised, everybody copies everybody these days. Hardly anybody is unique

[Badlands07]

It looks promising. I am hoping to see more soon since I am unable to see it yet (besides the little image). Thanks for the heads-up.

[mirturk]

They should change interface or many people blame them.

[Madmurphy]

I am sure they are in the Trail and error stages of it now, once they get feed back on how it is doing they will alter it to work best.

[Eric007]

If they are trying to be like Google, the first thing would be to open their network to international publishers, or at least Canadian publishers. It's still hard to believe they haven't done so yet...

[0otheoracleo0]

Any one else ? Ah .. i just googled in google images for

"new yahoo search results"

It looks like someone posted something about this with a large screen capture from May 3rd.

Interesting?!

[MrStitch]

As far as ripping off google, who gives a rats butt.

The one interesting thing I see is, it appears more user friendly. Which is a far cry from their existing spam-a-lot search page..... nothing like finding your natural search results through a tiny window, sheesh.

Maybe they're taking a hint that people don't want all that junk in the way, and just want honest good results.

I'd say kudo's... but time will tell.

[cctv72]

I cant see the image, can you link to a larger version?

[damnidunno]

I don't think that its really fair to say anyone copies google. Google doesn't even style their sites really. If you use any html editor you will noticed that the plain default non styled theme is just like google's. Boring, dull and plain.

So if this is yahoo's page then they probably just haven't applied its style yet to save on resources in the testing phase.

[PowerExtreme]

maybe but i dont usee yahoo search for me im happy with google search

[whoamifooling]

It's too small to see anything!

[vholodov]

maybe but i dont usee yahoo search for me im happy with google search

To each his own ... google rocks

[SB Marketing]

Ive seen that before If yahoo would only do more things like google maybe they would start making some real money

[vicdigi]

change is always good. However, the thumbnail is too small to really judge!

[michiganfootball20]

thats so gay

[t2000q]

well as long as it works good, who cares what it looks like - eh

[chant]

Eventually they'll realize that copying Google isn't the way to get ahead of Google. Innovation is.

Except that sometimes people can copy others and make money from it. Microsoft is a perfect example. They released IE after Netscape, they copied Apple's UI on the Mac for Windows. And if they can't copy someone they have enough money to buy them out.

Don't get me wrong, I think innovation is the way to go, but in real life copying can and will be rewarded.

[Spartan_Strategy]

Yahoo has had some hard times lately, I think they finally be doing somehting right.

[Traffic Master]

Hi,

Really new innovation, we give warm welcome to new initiate. But it looks pretty and recurring of google. :)

[Canadianbacon]

your image is barely any larger than the thumbnail...geez

[Sohan]

I think it is a good step for them really. :)
Fully agree. Something for google to compete with now. I like this featuere alot.

[WebmasterWanabe]

Can you say YAHOOGLE its coming to a town near you...

[hillord]

image too SMALL

[joseph.stevens7]

With new management of the company, I think they are trying to gain a larger share of the search engine market. They have been taking a lot of flack for that.
